Woke up to 57°F ourside this morning when it's usually in the low 40's this time of the year. 9 systems running means the house is between 75-77°F. Open windows? The day before Thanksgiving?

Yep, upper 50's to low 60's today here as well. 65 to 70 tomorrow!!!! Unheard of this time of the year.

Damn, looks as though we lost ground.

Showing now that we are 408K out of 5th place...........We better pit and get a fresh set of tires on the race car.

So, I took a quick look at what's there and it looks like it just gathers data from the member stats api. So basically it's reading in data that looks like this:

...and is storing it in a MySQL database and regurgitating it on demand. I'm thinking about writing a tool to gather the data from this API and store it in a PostgreSQL server. Once the data is stored, you could really do whatever you want with it. I personally like the idea of using c3.js to chart out this kind of data.

If I decide to build something and make decent progress, I might ask if anyone would be willing to share their WCG username and verification code so I have more data points to track.

It looks like they neglected to include something that would build the table structure, getting this to function as is will take some reverse engineering to build the tables out.

Right now, I have the index.php functioning to the point where it fails on the queries to the table because I don't have them in the database..

@Sasqui

Nice... however: @Norton - do you have another name on the list to gift this to? I was going to donate a prize and never got around to it, I'd like someone else to get the PayPal GC from @Bow

I WILL be joining the list for the grand prize (assuming I'm eligible)
