Mines been stuck on the same for a week or so now.

Everyone's ticker is stuck and has been for a couple of weeks.

We have notified Lock in Australia (whose ticker it is) but I believe he's on holiday - no response yet.

The CycleChat team are looking into our own Ticker, courtesy of TimO, but it's not ready yet.

Patience is a virtue, folks!

It's only a ticker!
People should stop moaning and start cycling

Big vote of thanks to TimO for his digital cleverness!

Meanwhile, I've copied the group list onto a Google Drive spreadsheet simply because the row numbers gives your standing.

Thanks for Getting back to us about the Ticking update not working at least its not just my being more stupid than I am normally!

 

[TimO]

The minimal replacement is close to being working, there's a little fiddling I need to do tomorrow, and then it'll need some testing, to make sure it's reasonably robust, and doesn't bring the server to it's knees, which would probably be a bad thing!

Do any of the tickers support periods other than calendar years? We have a 13 month target starting a week ago. It looks as if MCL supports this as a "goal", but a graphic would be good.

I could probably add on an arbitrary start date and period, but 13 months, alone, sounds a bit vague, since a month isn't a fixed duration, it depends on exactly which months. What I could probably do, without too much effort, is allow you to specify a start date (assuming a midnight start time), and number of days. If what you're doing is for a specific time, so you know (or can calculate) the number of days, then that would be easy enough.

It definitely won't be in the early release, but it shouldn't be too difficult to add on. It obviously won't support the orange last-year feature, when I get around to doing that, either, since it would start getting involved defining what that meant, if you change the duration, or the start point isn't an exact fit to the previous set of data.

Just had a reply from Lock:

Sorry about the ticker getting stuck again. Database filled up again, and wouldn't let any new entries be added till I deleted some old data. It should come back to life soon, current problem seems to be with MCL (issues with request timeouts), so hopefully that gets sorted soon.

No problems with you guys using it, or continuing to do so. Its always been run on Google's App Engine, and on the free quota. So there's no cost associated.

TimO's welcome to a copy of the code, it's all written in Python, and is quite the dogs breakfast. But still, if he's interested let me know. Either way I'll be interested to see what he comes up with. I moved onto Strava some time ago, figured eventually everyone else would too. Guess there's some people that just prefer the 'old school' way of doing things.

Cheers,
lock

True, March wasnt great cause it snowed a good bit so need to catch up but planning a 100 miler sportive in august so hopefully that with the training for it will up the mileage

 

[derrick]

Nice to see it working again, just need to get out more during the week.

March wasn't bad for me but April has been pretty bad, what with getting hit (and not having a reliable 2nd bike) and finally catching the bad cough thats been doing the rounds; I've temporarily lost my mojo this morning
