Sad, but I like to see how my tasks are faring over time:
<lang python> Rosetta Code Vanity search:
How many new pages has someone created?

newpages = [] pagecount = 0 while nextpage:
page = urllib.urlopen(nextpage)
pagecount +=1
nextpage =

if not nextpage:
# Search for URL to next page of results for download
nextpage_match = re.search(nextpage_re, line)
if nextpage_match:
nextpage = (site + nextpage_match.groups()[0]).replace('&', '&')
#print nextpage
npline=line
if '' in line:
# extract N page name from title
newpages.append(line.partition(' title="')[2].partition('"')[0])
page.close()
nontalk = [p for p in newpages if not ':' in p]
print "User: %s has created %i new pages of which %i were not Talk: pages, from approx %i edits" % (

From which I deduce their must be a lot of students out there being set a knapsack like problem ;-)

So in two weeks I've created two new tasks, and the Knapsack Problem has finally moved to become my top viewed task.

I have added no new pages, but I have broken into the top 100 list of page views!!:

I did like writing the story around that Knapsack task.
