[ANN] MouseHole 1.2 -- rose-colored spectacles for the Web

[why the lucky stiff]

MouseHole is a scriptable web proxy. Alter the Web with Ruby. Host
your own little applications. Install scripts off the web as you surf.
That kind of thing.

No, thank YOU.

talking about half the time.)

I can't get MouseHole to run. When I run mousehole.exe I get

./lib/mouseHole.rb:1121: uninitialized constant MouseHole::Log::MH
(NameError)
from C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\eee.mouseHole.exe.2\app\mouseHole.rb:4:in
`require'

from C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\eee.mouseHole.exe.2\app\mouseHole.rb:4
from C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\eee.mouseHole.exe.2\bootstrap.rb:31:in
`load'
from C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\eee.mouseHole.exe.2\bootstrap.rb:31

Any ideas?

What version of Windows are you running ?

Do you have another web proxy upstream from you ?

The MH environment variable isn't being set because it can't find your
home directory.

homes = []
homes << [ENV['HOME'], File.join( ENV['HOME'], '.mouseHole' )] if
ENV['HOME']
homes << [ENV['APPDATA'], File.join( ENV['APPDATA'], 'MouseHole' )]
if ENV['APPDATA']
homes.each do |home_top, home_dir|
next unless home_top
if File.exists? home_top
File.makedirs( home_dir )
MH = home_dir
break
end
end

You need to have either the APPDATA environment variable configured -
the fact that you don't suggests to me that you're running a non-NT
based windows (ie, 95, 98 or Me). If you set directory manually, you
should be up and running.

Also - mousehole should probably be fixed to exit more informatively if
it doesn't find a homedir.

I just apply my usual (English) language filter:
1) ignore words that do not make sense
2) ignore sentences that do not make sense
3) mark messages that do not make sense as spam

Works very well for me :)
