[GreenKeys] Arvada ITTY update

[Paul Heller]

Thanks for the reports. I’m encouraged.

About those missing spaces…. There is nothing wrong with your reception. You are seeing the content exactly how it is leaving my place. I wrote a program to grab content from an RSS feed. RSS feeds these days have almost no content because they want you to click through to the website (so they get the advertising dollars). My program hits the website url associated with the RSS feed and converts the html from that site over to plain text. It is not perfect, so that is why occasionally there is a missing character. I needed to get something in place quickly so that we had lots of content to test with.

The ITTY Sequim feed has authors who publish content to it every day! I hope someday to convince those authors publish content to the new ITTY Arvada feed, but not yet. Right now that would be a lot to ask of the authors because the ITTY mailer program is set to point to ITTY Sequim. It is possible to point the ITTY mailer to ITTY Arvada but requires a bit of manual fiddling. Same for AUTOSTART: It is running in Arvada but you have to fiddle with the mailer to get it to point to Arvada. If anyone wants to try AUTOSTART, I can give you the settings and tell you how to make the mailer work.

Maybe we can try a pix run soon, not a long one but one or two pics to see how that works out. Errors might be more visible. 

Greenkeys is a wonderful community. I’m proud to be a member.

73,
