The listings are inaccurate because the timezones for both platforms are set totally incorrectly. Also, you can see that the programs are sent REALLY slowly. This is because (1) the code used in the video was a little less efficient than my current code and (2) the way I'm sending the messages right now is byte-by-byte, 1 byte per UDP packet, which slows everything down a lot. The end result is that if I send messages any faster than I was (which was 4 times slower than it was supposed to be, which is 240 bytes/sec), the Atari will fall behind and things will start getting screwy.

Obviously I'm new here, I've been lurking around taiganet for a while and stumbled on this site. First of all, what you guys have done is pretty freaking amazing. I've got both the EPG Jr. and the Amiga software up and running, but is there any chance of you releasing this sender, or any of the stuff related to the centralized web-based sender? I'm doing this on a Mac, and this is the first time I've messed with Amiga stuff so if you posted that sender and I could get data into the grid without having to try to figure out how to edit files on the ADF, that'd be awesome

Hey mixdup,

Welcome! Glad you found us. Unfortunately I haven't gotten the chance to work on the sender recently, since I have been busy with senior year of high school and applying to college. Now that this is almost all over with (I got into MIT ), I will have some time to work on it. But I'd be happy to give you your own copy as well. The only problem is, the program is dependent on a bunch of different factors (network layout, program database, etc.). But I'd be happy to work with you on getting a custom version set up that will work for your scenario.

The only problem is that I'm in Costa Rica on vacation. But I get back January 1st, and I'd be happy to help you out then!
