i've moved my stat update times for wcg up one hour....hopefully the errors i was seeing in the wcg feed was more an issue of timing (starting to look like it).


still need to make sure my scripts aren't being cut off by the 30 sec limit i was seeing from my host

I'm back to normal

hopefully the same still holds true in about an hour and a half...

Since when........... and what the hell is normal

If you have to ask...

 

 

 

ugh, broken again....how long is the midnight gmt stats run?

About 2 hrs ago.

erm....i'm looking for something a bit more accurate....


i have a scheduler set up.  i say run stat script at 7:30.  wcg stats might not finish till 7:45, creating errors.   seems once my script hits about the 225th person, wcg stats update is done and my end works fine....but if you're before 225ish, good luck trying to get accurate stats.


i've bumped my scheduling up another 40ish minutes for that run, hopefully it covers the time gap that's giving issue.

Takes about 2.5 hrs before I can access the stats after they close at 00:00 GMT. hth.

If you are wanting to make sure the stats have been completed over to WCG,  you want to hold your run till prob quarter after 8pm your time.
(been taking WCG bout an hour to update the stats, and sometimes they run over..)

over 2.5 hours....had it set to run at 2:30 iirc...

and the 2:30 gmt would be half after 8pm...so nope

never mind, i think i quoted those times off by an hour.  3 timezones to try and figure when i'm workin the schedule....the server running pst

17:30 pst -> 5:30pm pst -> 7:30pm cst -> 1:30am gmt  .....stat update that ran today

removed and replaced with...

18:20 pst -> 6:20pm pst -> 8:20pm cst -> 2:20am gmt ....hopefully works better

  I can always access stat on WCG by 9:30pm eastern..

yep, i was thinking the server was on mountain time for a second....and hadn't suspected that the dc stat wcg update time had jumped to nearly an hour and a half...   thought it was half an hour...but after wcg tweaked their site so that you can't request xml feed more then once every 7-8 seconds, i had to throttle my script to be REALLY slow

woot...i just found a way to make wcg's recent update to xml feed work for me.  still have to run with the 7-8 second timer between requests...but now there's a way i can request 8 people at a time, instead of one at a time.  current 82 min update time....have to only request 1/8 of what was doing  before, which could cut updates down to under 15 minutes.

Whatever you have done, mine seem to be working fine now Pinky. 

Dont think I ever got around to thanking you for this service Pinky.  Its the best stats box around. Thanks.  (Not that I have much stats to put in it  ).

thanks...


figures, just as i go to test an update i made, wcg server go down.    i have a feeling the next update is gonna be borked again as a result...

Pinky broke WCG!?   

  Again..............
