Regional Data Update
I have rushed through the collection and processing of the regional traffic and public transport data partly because I thought it might prove useful and also because I am going away this weekend and will not have time to put any work into it. Alas the upshot is that there appears to be a bug in the code which generates the regional data master lists. Looking at it last night I had a feeling that the total traffic message count didn’t tally with what the panel displayed but it was late and I was tired. The data is updated hourly so you might see you favourite region come and go accordingly. At least it’s is better that nothing which is basically what was displayed before.
The design for navigating the regional data can only be described as ‘clunky’. Interesting how the inclusion of a ‘back’ button utterly destroys the AJAX notion of the web page as an application. It looks terrible and is a pain to use but was worth trying out as it has made me think more about what is really needed.
I might get a chance to do a quick fix before I leave this evening if I can spot what’s wrong with my increasingly sprawling Python code.
