        Thankfully Mininova doesn't seem to have last night's episode so maybe I'm finally free from such a enticingly crappy show. -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 14:38 3

  - automated would be cool -- nm - crash davis Nov 17, 14:26 3
    - Is an "Update" the way you would expect? It seems that Notifications are for user->user game type actions and I assume you wouldn't want a Wall post - oblique Nov 17, 14:29 2

        That would be outstanding. (Especially if she does it after my 10 dollar sale ends. Hehehe.) -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 14:20 2
        
        Let me know if there is anything I can do to help that happen. -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 14:21 1
