Drinkypoos

Drinkypoos is a simple Ruby on Rails site to track ones alcohol consumption among an explicit social network. At the moment most users are members of the Livejournal community for information about your social network (and also for authentication), however there is nothing in the code which is livejournal specific.

In short it is yet another FOAF hack which draws pretty pictures

Drinkypoos is written entirely in Ruby and was my first ruby program.

What it does

A summary of what happens is:

1. You log in to drinkypoos with your blog URL
2. Drinkypoos looks at this URL and checks your authority for this URL using OpenID
3. Drinkypoos then looks for your FOAF information (i.e. a meta tag) on that URL to get your friends information
4. You can then start accounting for your sinful drinking habits by date and drink (this is pretty simple at the moment)
5. You can also look at interesting things like how much your friends are (reportedly) drinking and draw pretty graphs of this
