A very simple action stream to add your activities on MT.org to your stream.
The plugin pulls in plugins you have posted and your "activity" as defined by the list on your profile page.
As the actual XML for your recent activity is not very useful, this pulls out the relevant information and formats it for stream display.
This first version is rough round the edges for the "activity" stream, I would prefer it to display exactly as it does on mt.org, but the plugin section is as good as it will get!
Feed and category available as usual.

Richard, this is AWESOME. Thank you so much for writing it.
Your plugin directory submission suggested that the MT.org activity stream wasn't as useful as it could be - drop me a line (and CC byrne at sixapart.com), lets see what we can do with it!
Hi Richard,
I just installed the plugin and was surprised by the action streams it registered. Looking at the code, you seem to be scraping the HTML on a member's profile page. Why not use the RSS feeds of entries and activity. For example here's a feed of my activity stream: http://www.movabletype.org/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=feed&_type=actions&blog_id=32&id=109
Using the feed gives you more information + the actual date/time the activity occurred!
The main reason is because of the quality of the feeds, that there is more than one of them and that I wanted the differentiation between "posted", "answered", "commented" etc.
Will explain more in an email :)
Great plugin Richard. Until recently this worked as expected, but now I'm getting the re-feed every time the script runs. Like yesterday, October 1, I've got 20 entries for one comment that I made on the MT forum. Today there's another 20 all pointing to the same post. I disabled the script a week ago because of this, then reinstated it, but the same problem.
Any clues?
