Artefact Calculator
Greg - Boomtime, 38 Bureaucracy 3169 @ 07:43 AM
I'll be adding categories for each new script. Probably. I mean, you know, I can't be held to that but I intend to. It'll give me someplace to put all the trivia, whining and useless apologia that goes along with the project.
Here's a small bonus for anyone who cares and is bothering to look... (more)
The artefact calculator (I'm bad at choosing names for things, and I already regret that one) in its even more tentative incarnation (/artefact_calculator_test.cgi) has a couple of extra features at the moment that may or may not get added to the main version.
Bond and available links have added subtotals. I like them and I use _test for that reason, but I just can't get over the extra clutter they add. When I next go dicking around with the script, I'll probably add them in as a suppressable option.
The &reorder=1 flag changes the order of industry/artefact entries from artefact(industry) to industry(artefact). Quite handy for comparing two portfolios with a text editor (copy, paste, add name columns, sort) while my portfolio-comparison tool languishes. (There's a rant brewing on that one, but I just feel too stupid for missing whatever trivial thing I'm missing to share it yet.)
One warning about _test, though: It doesn't know its own name in all contexts. Notably, the entry page will quietly forward you on to the *main* version. Best to kick-start it with ?id=(whatever). Also, as the name suggests, I test new features there. So if I'm actively working with the script, it's likely to be broken.

The calculator is great - too bad I don't collect anything ! At the BS forum, I saw that you were from Ala and had to see if you had a blog, for I just spent the summer in Jasper ( of all places).
And you do !

Thanks, Sue!
I just now noticed your comment - I'm not so good yet at keeping track of what happens here. ;)
Hope you enjoyed your time in Jasper; I used to spend summers with my grandparents in Gadsden.
