Any hope?
by John Hagerson 29 Dec '05

I don't mean to nag, but is there any hope for the requests system? I'm afraid that we have been down for so long that we will need a "grand reopening" when we go back on line. John

What's the new address? I seem to have missed it. 'What easier way of seeing the world? Airy, commodious and paid for by the King.'

How's progress of ISO Creator?
by Philip M. White 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

I am wondering what the status is of the ISO Creator. Looking at it (http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu/pgiso/) it appears to be very functional, at least on the outside. Do you need any help with it? If so, what kind of help? Are there any plans in the interim to create an updated version of the PG CD? The latest version is from August 2003, no? Or is the plan to wait until the ISO Creator is ready for primetime before making updated CDs? -- Philip

The status of the system
by Aaron Cannon 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Hello all. I just wanted to update you all. John is right. There is something very wrong with the system. For some reason, the system is deleting all of the requests except for the ones you are checking in or out. I have no idea why it would be doing this. I've looked at the diffs between the old ibiblio version of the program and the new snowy version, and I haven't been able to find anything that looks even remotely like it might be causing this. I really need someone smarter than I to look at things and perhaps they can solve the problem. Another solution would be to migrate to MYSQL, but that isn't something I am going to be able to program at the moment thanks to the huge work-load I'm under from school. So, any takers? Does any of you perl folks want to reach into the guts of my code and see if you can fix whatever is broken? Thanks all for your patients through this difficult time. Sincerely Aaron Cannon

Check-in causes requests to disappear
by John Hagerson 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

I want this group to know that we appear to be having problems with the request system in its new home on Snowy. This afternoon, I checked in one request as not completable. All of the requests I had checked out and all but one of the requests waiting for checkout disappeared. The other day a similar thing happened when I tried to return a group of requests that I had entered from my retained mail (and therefore all had the same IP address) to the checkout queue for normal processing. I have informed Aaron, but from his messages of a few days ago it sounds like he is quite busy with other activities IRL. I fulfilled 34 requests today, but because I can't see them I am unable to check them in. John

Is list unnaturally quiet--

Or have I somehow accidentally cut it off? I haven't had anything new from the list for the last week, unless I read it and promptly forgot it.

system finally back up
by Aaron Cannon 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

The request system is back up. The new address is http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu/cgi-bin/cdproject/dvdview.cgi . Thanks to all the craziness, I haven't been able to test it as much as I would have liked, but it should work ok. As always, please report any bugs. Sorry again for the long delay. I had to leave town unexpectedly. Anyway, please report any bugs to me at my normal address. My message is coming from gmail, because I don't have access to an smtp server from where I'm at. By the way, if anyone has an smtp server they could give me access to, that would be a big help. Thanks!
