The way you call the callbacks using setTimeout is bound for failure: no quote escape for the string you pass to setTimeout. While it can be easily fixed i don’t think it would be very performant. A solution would be just calling the callbacks as usual and do setTimeout if necessary in the javascript code.

Comment on Money to burn? Visit Swoopo by Amerina

It’s funny, I usually check out things by doing the google check on them before signing up etc etc, but with Swoopo I didn’t. Why? There was an auction on a Wii that was at around £8 and seeing the other auctions that had ended at cheap prices, I thought why not? Though I wish I’d known the pitfalls before giving away my £10. :/ It didn’t quite click into my head that’s it’s not a true countdown auction, if you place a bid, the time increases by at least 10 seconds meaning someone else can swoop in with a bid (damn, hence the name). And it’s quite addictive. I’m currently watching a 100% off auction on an AppleMac, I’m not really looking for a new laptop, but it looks cute and sexy, and you only pay delivery (which is about £13 but they fail to mention you still pay for bids too).
But, thanks to BidButlers, the time’s increased to 01:12:02. Oh and they fail to mention the exact same auction applies to its sister sites (such as America and Spain) too. So even if I stay up till 5am, there may be someone elsewhere bidding in Seattle for example bidding at 9pm. I only wish I’d read reviews and I want my money back now. :/

I wrote a small python policy server for the people that just don't want to write it :)

from twisted.internet import reactor
from twisted.internet.protocol import Protocol, Factory
_policy = "<cross-domain-policy><allow-access-from domain='*' to-ports='*' secure='false' /></cross-domain-policy>\0"

class PolicyHandler(Protocol):
 def __init__(self):
  pass

 def dataReceived(self, data):
  self.transport.write(_policy)

def main():
 f = Factory()
 f.protocol = PolicyHandler
 reactor.listenTCP(843, f)
 print "Policy handler running on port 843."
 reactor.run()

if __name__ == '__main__':
 main()

That’s interesting, it’s difficult to believe that there is a charge for syndicating sports results but I had heard bad things about PA pricing before so assumed the worst. It’s probably worth investigating a bit further.
