So I upgraded my computer this week, went DDR3 and got a HD5770. but the thing is, with the same CPU (its an Athlon II X4 620 AM2/AM3) running Google Earth with the full db KMZ file, with the DDR2 setup earth would tend to stop responding for about 10 seconds when it needs to render the blob of APs ...

I just did a full export of the database to a raw SQL file, and its about 800MB with 86K APs
I ended up making my own export script because the mysqldump tool with mysql was taking about 2 days to dump.
The script I made dumps the same data in ~50min.

This might help

Thanks man, if you would like some changes made that you think would make it better let me know. So i have the Folder Cleanup code completed. I only took screen shots of the temp folder page, but they all work the same way. This is the Layout, maint_clean_folder.PNG You can select individual files t...

pferland

well MySQL performance and that windows is a really crappy development environment for PHP. But anyways, the problem you are having is you're not putting an absolute path as the log folder location. $console_log = 'C:\xampp\logs\wifidb'; "C:\xampp\logs\wifidb" would be a folder, not a file...

Since you are using the Dutch Version of Windows, you will need switch to the Dutch language pack in Vistumbler.

Settings -> Set Language
From the drop down pick Dutch.

There is an issue with the GPS converter, where if the Geo-Cord for DDM.m is only 2 digits before the '.' then it will convert it wrong. example: This: N 4052.9323 E 47.8406 Was being converted to This: N 40.882205 E 4.79734333 When it was supposed to be This: N 40.882205 E 0.79734333 The issue is r...

In the code that Imports VS1 files into the Database (HTML and Daemon code are the same), if a VS1 file does not have any APs in it, but does have GPS, the file will be imported. When the file should have been dropped in the first place. There will be a change in the import upload page so that it ch...

The Geocache Overview is similar to the Access point one, just, well, with data about Geocaches: overview_geo.PNG Then Click "Historical Data" once again to see some more juicy data. overview_geo_hist.PNG The Users Page to see some basic data about users: overview_users_short.PNG Then some...

Ok so the Administration Panel is very similar to the Users control Panel layout, in that there is a main row of `tabs` and then sub menus. But the Administration panel doesn't have the sub-menus hide when you are off the main menus page, they stay visible. Example: menu.PNG Of course there are thin...

Meh, we got stuck in about a 2ft snow drift, and the passenger door was about 18inches away from a barbed wire fence.
Andrew had trouble getting his door open in the snow

pferland

That was at the flat top of a hill....and i have no idea what you are talking about..

pferland

pferland

and a happy new year also.
Hope everyone had a great holiday
I know I did, my parents got me a replacement for the MP3 player that I had that was stolen
no more CDs and crappy FM radio for me any more lol
hope no one got caught outside when Robotic Evil Santa was around

pferland

That sucks man. we have that problem all the time too, but its mostly because Andrew forgets that the wire is in his Recliner and it gets cut. I haven't been doing to much work on the database, at least on the on the Admin/Mod/User panels. But I have started work on making two more daemons (one for ...

These are some of the changes and things that I need to do for the next release. Things that are done, or are started. 1) Mysticache Support (Imports) 2) User based Logins. 3) Forking the Daemon into three processes. a) Daemon->Imports/Exports (this is the old daemon, basically unchanged, just being...

pferland

If you have any ideas for Andrew to add, post them over in the requests section.

I've been playing Spore and working on the Mysticache and user based login support

agreed, you don't really want anything less then 80% or the text starts to suffer.

I dont see a difference between the PNG and this jpg, and the jpg is half the size

pferland

Screen shots are usually done better as JPEG's, since PNG images have a really hard time with lots of different colors and patterns, they tend to blow up in size. where the jpeg will still have decent quality, and a small(er) size

pferland

My bad, guess I need to check my permissions more thoroughly..

Or in the words of Ned Flanders: "And if you really piss me off... I'll hunt you down with my car, and run you over"

pferland

but what fun is that, if you cant see all the APs at once? lol

pferland

nice always love having more new APs in the database.
The Daemon Generated KMZ file is getting a little big for Google Earth, when you go to view New England it tends to sit and 'think' about it for a few min before it will render the screen lol

So I took the weekend off and did absolutely nothing, besides playing spore. But I did do a few things last night and before the weekend. I have added a new section to the content menu on the left for Mysticache When you are not logged in it will look like the one on the left, if you are logged in, ...

BoBer, Its nice to see more people coming around. Hope to see you become a regular member of the community here. As always we are all ways looking for requests to improve Vistumbler (Acalcutt) and WiFiDB (pferland [me]), bugs that you find, or think may be a bug. Just need help getting something to ...

The Highlighted menu option is what turns on or off "Native WiFi mode" When it is checked Native WiFi is on, unchecked it is off. native_wifi.PNG Also you stated you are using Windows XP, you will only be able to use Native Wifi, since XP does not have NetSH. As Andrew said, NetSH gets all...

pferland

No sadly I haven't gotten that far yet. I'm only just starting to expand my empire beyond 5 stars lol.
But i did watch a video about it, and that Maxis had it change the rough location of it in each game

But still a great game and love how everything reacts to how you play.

Garmin and computers are a little tricky, (If I remember correctly from an older Garmin device I used to use) if your device is in PC mode (or something like that) You should see it in your device manager in windows. There is also an output mode that may need to be set (this is how the GPS data is s...

not really, I tend to try and avoid things that make me want to go and commit multiple homicide afterwards

I think I'm going to start doing the same thing, also makes it smaller and easier to download over a slow pipe, like here at work.

Andrew, what are you going to do for a domain if you no longer use vistumbler as the name? That and SF.net doesnt take to kindly to Project name changes.

pferland

I didn't know if you had gone and created a format for CSV layouts yet, but I did.

Take a look and change what you like. I just wanted to get something defined so I could start making the CSV import function.

( had to throw it in a zip, forum doesn't like CSV files

Andrew: I was just thinking phil... your going to need a new name for the WiFiDB soon... Your going to be storing more than APs now I like WiFiDB, that and I cant think of anything else to name it. :| Also I thought you said that you added the additional fields to GPX file. I added support for them...
