Put a W before week numbers in usage graphs

The "Last Month" usage graph on profiles should put a W before the week number along the X axis. Otherwise, it appears as if the current year has an inordinate amount of months. The W prefix on week numbers is also standard for Y/W display of dates.

In short, [yyyy]/W[ww] instead of [yyyy]/[ww].

How is it for matching products and people, though, not just companies? – Chris Charabaruk, on October 25, 2009 23:50

Tweets since last week haven't been showing up in search. I show up in People Search and I used to be indexed for regular Twitter Search, but no longer, it seems.

Likewise, I'm in People Search, but regular Twitter search hasn't indexed me for a week now. And my tweets about it are going unanswered.

Hey Twitter, do you even care about your users?

A comment on the problem "Some Steam games can't be recognized correctly" in Wakoopa:

I updated the entry and renamed it to match ep1's name; that changed the URL to http://wakoopa.com/software/half-life... (which the old URL should have redirected to). – Chris Charabaruk, on June 18, 2009 22:51

A comment on the problem "Some Steam games can't be recognized correctly" in Wakoopa:

Well, it seems to be doing a much better job, now, although it's still not detecting Episode Two properly. Of course, that might be because ep2 still doesn't have a database entry. – Chris Charabaruk, on June 16, 2009 19:54

Ah. Probably pushed a tracker update that I've not received yet, then. Guess I should reinstall the tracker. – Chris Charabaruk, on June 12, 2009 05:42

Still not working for me properly. – Chris Charabaruk, on June 12, 2009 05:02

A comment on the problem "Valve games recoginized as Half Life 2" in Wakoopa:

It's not Wakoopa's place to detect just which game mods you're using. What game, yes, but this is an app tracker, not a mod tracker. – Chris Charabaruk, on June 08, 2009 20:43

A comment on the problem "Valve games recoginized as Half Life 2" in Wakoopa:

Check the .exe file path. It's in the form <steam path>\steamapps\<user name>\<game name>\hl2.exe – Chris Charabaruk, on June 08, 2009 20:42

See http://gsfn.us/t/84im for my take on this. The issue of actual mods can't really be handled by Wakoopa, and in fact, since they are mods of existing games and not new games themselves, I don't know if they really need to be.

However, the issue of Wakoopa tracking the HL2 episodes, TF2, CS:Source, etc. as Half-Life 2 is correctable, so long as the file path to the game executable is tracked. Since Steam keeps each game segregated to its own directory (and, in fact, segregated by user as well) the tracker just needs to know where Steam is installed. From there, you can find out what game is running, and what Steam account is running it, by comparing the full .exe file path to this:

<steam path>\steamapps\<user name>\<game name>\hl2.exe
