Problems: The original scripts for that graph were written in February 1995 -- almost five years ago. I look at them now and am embarrassed by the kludges I employed to make them go. SkiVt-L poll question: how many of our happy readers were "on the internet" five years ago (email doesn't count)? A lot has happened in terms of web technology since then, but the Snow Graph has remained pretty much the same. It takes a whole lot of manual intervention to keep it running (note that I haven't recomputed the "40 some odd year average" or "all time min and max values" since 1996), the data lives in a mess of unwieldy ASCII text files, and I have ignored for these five long years all the other weather data available. I want to automate everything I can. Remember, this is a work in process, and I've only spent about half a day on it so far. | Wesley Alan Wright <mailto:[log in to unmask]> | | Academic Computing Services __0__ | | Room 238 Waterman Building / \ | \ | | University of Vermont \77 http://cit.uvm.edu/~waw/ | | Burlington, Vermont 05405-0160 USA. \\ http://www.uvm.edu/skivt-l | | Voice:802-656-1254 FAX:802-656-0872 vv | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
