Sunday was a busy day, spent 2 hours helping Sneaky set up his Mystic system
on Raspberry Pi. Then did house chores and vacuumed the house. Lunch date at McDonalds with my wife. Home to mow lawns, clean the BBQ and sweep cobble stones at back of the house... tidy up prior to having family over for BBQ dinner. Guests here until 7.30pm. Then 40 mins helping Sneaky, some fsxNet admin work, bit of housekeeping with users on Agency BBS and it's now 8.33pm

Tired! Going to log off now and get some rest. Public holiday tomorrow hope
to find some time to play with BBS and advance a few projects I have been wanting to do for the last few days.

Best, Paul

Sounds like a busy day :)

I've been working on re-writing the web side of Magicka, using a tree of elements rather than building the page by concatenating strings.

We had a big storm pass over earlier, now we don't have any tv reception,
so wife isn't impressed, but I think it's widespread, not just our unit.

It was! I should be in bed zzzing but I forgot to update some weather
forecasts on Total FM so sneaking a peak at messages while I am doing that.

Sounds interesting. Not sure I completely follow... how does the tree of elements work?

Bummer... hope it sorts itself out soon.

of elements work?

It's a bit hard to explain, a html page is basically a tree of tags and
data. so instead of just concatenating a long string directly with the
tags and data, I build up an in memory tree of the tags and associated
data, then convert it into a long string to display.

The idea is to be able to sanitise the data in one place (ie in the tag builder) rather than every time i add data to the string. Technically it
seems to me to be a slower method, but should hopefully turn out to be
more fool proof, ie no forgetting to sanitise data.

Sorry if that doesn't make sense, it was tenser's idea lol he tried to
explain it to me, I think I got it, but not sure how to explain it.

I got to mow lawns too, was a nice sunny day. :) Still waiting for your clever suggestion re the echomail gating / linking. ;)

I was watching the end of the supercars on the gold coast, and the race
got canned. The rain was coming down like dogs and cats, plus the high
voltages in the air didn't help either. @-(

Ok, NOW can you explain that using only single syllable words?? *Grin*

Sounds kinda interesting if *I* get the concept...

I prolly don't.. lol!
