Hey, i'm following up myself once again ;-)
Just in case someone thinks I'm just out to take advantage of the hard
work of Jennifer and Dan, I tip my hat off to them for working up the
energy to start the "experimental engine" and continuing their work
through 1000 sets (and more to come, I hope ;-) ) Keeping at a project
even if it starts getting boring is what makes most volunteer projects
fail at some time, so once again, I salute our benefactors and thank
them for their efforts.
In my case, it all started with my desire to have my set list and the
inventories with me on my Ipaq when I'm standing at some toy shop
somewhere and trying to decide which set to buy.
Then I noticed that my scripts worked perfectly fine at work, but not at
home. A few days later (hey, I had some work-related deadline coming
up), I tried accessing the peeron website from work and home at the same
time (to rule out some kind of trouble at their end), and Dan confirmed
that he had black-holed t-online :-(
