[linux] - cron job for notifying when a new build of CM10 is available

While I don't believe that many people around use Linux as their main OS, maybe there's someone which finds this useful, so I'm sharing it. I've created a small script (python) to run on crontab to notify me (on the Desktop through libnotify) when there's a new build available.
I plan to do a GNOME3 and MATE applet soon for this task also (within a few days the MATE applet will be available). Information people want to know:
Dependencies:
* pynotify
* python-lxml
How to make usage of this? Quite simple... here's how to get the show running:
1. First thing, you need to copy the script to /usr/bin (or any other place, for this, lets assume /usr/bin);
2. Make sure you have the script with 0755 mode;
3. Add the task to cron (ex for 30 minutes, if this doesn't work for you, check cron documentation):
Code:
0,30 * * * * /usr/bin/cm-10-i8150-cron
If this is done like this, the script will run every 30 minutes, and in case there are changes (based on thread title parsing), you will get a nice notification on your Desktop (GNOME, MATE, Unity, most likely K(rap)DE).
For those who don't understand what this does... here's what happens when new releases are done:

[Q] Two bugs: SMS drafts when signature, and voltage

Stock ROM. Two bugs.
In legacy SMS app, I have set a message. Any time I exit a conversation with back button, app says it saved a draft. Need to exit by doing menu-discard. I had this bug also in the stock rom for my previous phone, HTC Sensation, 3 or 4 years ago (android 2) (fixed after changing rom). I am surprised this bug comes back after so long. Is there a fix ? When loading the draft again, it adds the signature a second time, then a third ...
Many apps and widgets show voltage of battery to be 3 or 4 mV. Few app give the correct value. After digging, the value in /sys is good (forgot the full path file name). An advanced app shows the correct value internally, and gives a button to access the android internal hidden menu of battery, and in there, the value is wrong. So, it looks like it's an android bug, and all apps which get it wrong are those asking kindly the value to Android (instead of going directly in /sys). Is there a fix ?
Ah, found the file:
Code:
cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/batt_vol_now
4193

3rd image says: you are going to reach a feature hidden by the manufacturer ... that could damage your phone. Use it at your own risks. => to me it's going to an internal android menu. A stock one.

Ok so first of all maps are a bit off but that's not your fault I guess
Second of all, I tried running it for a couple of second and in case of hiking it just turned off after 5 seconds or so, and in case of both cycling and hiking I showed some crazy speed results. Screens attached.

Thank you for testing!
Your activities are too short. If the GPS-signal is too weak, your location can jump quicker than Light-Speed for some metres.
The speedunit you have in your results is "km/min"
you can change the speedunit by clicking in MainActivity on speed-TextView.
Later it will be posible to do that also in ResultActivity
If the Activity was automatically recognized it stops automatically too. In older version of RunApp it stopped sometimes by Hiking when the speed went under 2 km/h.
In latest version it should be better:
From now on RunApp pauses automatically recognized activities instead of stoping them directly and stops them if the user was still for 5 min. Hikong pauses now if the speed went under 1 km/h.
You can also test the new Background activity recognizer (option in settings):
