[HAMR] Steve's tracker page is here

[mattc]

If I get up before Steve, I generally find nothing to see on http://audaxclubhackney.co.uk/tg.html

Is there an easy way to view
"Yesterday's track/stats" or
"The most recent complete day"
?

I use the link every day; it's often the only way to see what Steve and Kurt are doing without waiting 24 or more hours

so keep it stickyicky please

No - the existing page just loads data directly from the Trackleaders site, and that sort of information isn't present there. I would need to start storing this on my own server, something I started work on last winter but then got distracted by other events - I thought it would all be over by Christmas.

I had wondered the same Matt so I had a play over the holidays.  I cannot offer the full IvanScience experience but I can offer this:

At the risk of stating the bleedin obvious increment 368 each day.

No warranty is offered, no assurance of service implied.  It's automated to upload a screenshot each day from a computer 120 miles away from me through the week, a computer I have no remote access to.  It will go wrong, when it does there may be a cat involved.

Marvellous!
How does it work - do you take a snapshot at midnight every day?
(in which case the only weakness is rides ending after midnight ...  but hey, nothing's perfect)

p.s. thanks for the reply Ivan

Scheduled event to take a screenshot every night at 01:50 using NirSoft ScreenShoter (needs the reg frig mentioned on their site).  Then a second scheduled event at 01:55 (could have been merged, CBA) starts a batch script to rename the file with the day number, spew an ftp command file then launch the ftp command sequence.

Easy once I gave up trying to fight photobucket to host the files and signed up for a decent web host.  [mini rant]  Why is it so hard to to find a photo/file/web host that allows FTP access?  The clue is in the name; File Transfer Protocol.  Guess what that is the perfect tool for... [/mini rant]

Not an elegant solution but it works.  Cats notwithstanding.

FTP was perfect in the 70s. It's horribly dated now and a right pain in the arse security wise (plaintext authentication, password only authentication, separate control and data ports, etc).

lol, furry muff, I know nothing of the back end on the scale of a muti user multi stream system.  As a bear of limited brain and techno-born in the early eighties I cling to old stuff thats small and stupid enough I can get me head all the way around it such that I can grok the threat surface.  Flash, java, javascript etc are just worm cans to me. 

Kinda like why I don't have remote access, I could set it up but I seriously doubt my ability to secure it.

Latest tracker (since I couldn't find it in this thread):-

I've knocked something up on the tracking front using Steve's spot feed: http://frrt.org/tg/. I'm splitting his track each midnight and treating each day as a separate 'rider', so the list linked at the top of that page acts as a kind of archive. By default that map only shows the current day to make it readable, and there is another view here which you might prefer: http://frrt.org/tg/r/1-steve/map.

Thanks very much Ivan. That makes it so much easier to access and feel involved with what Steve is doing. I'll feel guilty if I go to bed while he is still out on the road.

This is my favourite view - http://frrt.org/tg/r/1-steve - as it shows today's distance as well as the map, profile and average speed.

Learning to use SCP/SFTP would seem worthwhile.  It's functionally similar to FTP, secure, and only needs a normal SSH server at the remote end.
