completely unofficial vote counter

CoIin

In case you are wondering how the votes are going:

I think I've made this to work in the way that the real voting will work, but don't take the numbers as final, that will have to wait for the official judging. Also, there are limits on how often you can query Twitter, so only load the page now and then (it needs a page reload to update the figures).

All I see is 5 blurry images?

Do no numbers appear after a moment?

Try this link, it will show the images at the right size:

Well, I am stuck running the crappy work branded IE7.

How do you play GameSalad games at work if you have to use IE7?

The vote counter does rely on the browser being capable of doing five net queries at once, and that may well be beyond IE7.

I wish I could! ;-)

The only numbers I see these days are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42

Other than that, it seems to work fine!

Vote for Astrobus! :P

Hopefully you're really seeing 4 5 4 6 1. The voting is off to a slow start.

CoIin

Still only see 4 6 4 7 1, so either my program is doing something wrong, or not many people are voting!

That sound about right for the really active members here but I would have thought the contestants would have at least been getting their supports to spam some results for them. :-)

Maybe more will come in during the "reveal" at MacWorld (do they announce the contest early on at MacWorld and then later the winner or will they just be announcing the winner at MacWorld?).
