I spent a five minutes to complete a stupid JiWai.de using Prototype JS library for my personal web site.

Because I set my JiWai.de to private, so I have to download my data to server using wget or curl in crontab.

feuvan@fvnbox2:~/wwwdata/doc_root$ crontab -l
# m h dom mon dow command
10/* * * * * sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/wget -N -q –http-user=feuvan@noSpam.fk –http-password=sillypaswordRocks -O /home/feuvan/wwwdata/doc_root/jiwai.json http://api.jiwai.de/statuses/user_timeline.json?count=10

and on my homepage:

<div id="MyJiWaide" class="webpart">
    <span id="jijiwaiwai"></span>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    try
    {
        var url = "jiwai.json";
        new Ajax.Request(url, {
            onSuccess: function(transport, json) {
                var data = eval(transport.responseText);
                var str = "<a href=’http://jiwai.de/feuvan’>My JiWai.de</a><br />";
                for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i ++)
                {
                    str += (data[i].user.screen_name + " – " + data[i].text + "<br />");
                }
                $("jijiwaiwai").update(str);
        }
        });
    }
    catch (err)
    {
        document.write(err);
    }
    </script>
</div>
