Uplink Reports?

[bigrich]

I realize that the person that did the uplink reports passed away, but it has been a couple of weeks and we still have had no updates. What are the plans for uplink reports? It is something I really miss here at Satellite Guys.

Digiblur is still alive He does the uplink report

From a post when JohnH passed away the software Digi was using had a major issue and he was trying to fix it. Thats the last we heard

You can always check the Dark Side of the Force (Dbstalk). There hasn't been anything spectacular.

I do miss seeing them too but there is no doubt that people are working hard to get it back up and running as it is a major feature on this sight.

If you want I can post the uplink for tomorrow before it happens.

Not much happening this week.

No PBS lighting up tomorrow, huh? Any more of those expected this month?

I've got the same question. I want my WVIZ, and was disappointed it didn't come with the other PBS stations.

I want.

me too:up

 

[digiblur]

Yeah.... I'm stilling digging through things guys. Even had two other folks looking while I am too... nothing yet.

It is very likely faster to go back to your own parser than it is to figure out what went wrong with John's. That is your preferred endpoint anyway. Just say a final sad goodbye to John's code and let it go.

 

[digiblur]

My parser is in play so I am not sure what you mean about going back to it.

 

[whitewolf8214]

digi take your time and keep up the great job

Well, that's confusing! In the Uplink Center, you wrote:

I'll get the parser fixed, then within time I'll remove the need to have the parser at all.

My interpretation of that remark was that it was John's parser that needed fixing, and that you intended to remove it eventually and put your own (or something equivalent) in it's place. My thought, based on my failed attempts to understand other people's spaghetti code, was that it would be faster and easier to "remove the need to have the parser at all" sooner rather than later.

There are two parsers in play. Each does their own thing to get to the needed result. Recreating JohnH's part is no easy task, nor would recreating what I have done on mine(as others were saying to recode that part too). At the time I would have said it would be easier to fix the one that was busted and let it run while I work on the big task of merging the two parsers. But it has come to a point where I'm thinking of ditching it all together and focusing the energy on merging.
