Thank goodness that’s over. For the past two days I have battled with my online hosting, wasting my time going down several blind alleys until finally, this morning, I got a clear explanation of the problem that was very easy to solve. While not wanting to jinx anything, all seems hunky dory now, so I am writing this as a reminder to my future self and as possible assistance to anyone else.
At one time I hoped to be able to persuade people smarter than me to resurrect hosted domains for people to use WithKnown to blog. To that end, I bought the domain known.blog, which is now up for renewal. Again. By now I have mostly run out of hope, though not entirely. That is why I would be willin...
Been thinking about these data, and generally concluded that speed is a very crude measure, depending as it does on starting and stopping tracking at the correct times. That’s OK for mechanised transport, usually, although I do tend to leave it running as I hang around at a bus stop waiting for the next bus, because I reckon it is the average trip speed that matters. On the bicycle, though, I tend to pause the workout on my watch but leave the overall track running. Average speed from Compass is thus very different from average speed from the watch. No big deal.
The extremely rickety automation I built to download and rename logfiles collapsed (again) sometime after last Thursday. The failure only came to light this morning when I tried to run Bise, the little analytics program that gives me a high-level view of what kinds of visits my sites are welcoming. Because of the way the server rotates my log files out of existence, it is quite difficult, though not impossible, to recover after more than a couple of days. For now, then, I have given up on stats until I can get home and sort things out. The problem is how to avoid such mishaps in the future.
Having done the heavy lifting to analyse Q1’s transport data, the only hard part today was to remember which bits did what. To that extent, the whole assembly is still manual till it hurts, which honestly isn’t much.
Changes from last time include:
