you'd like perl. it's an awful lot like obfuscated C. Not the way I write it. In fact, my Perl looks a lot like C in terms of how it's structured.

: Interesting that you say that. Our research group is talking about : ways to leverage GPS trails, perhaps along with a digital camera : (helmet mount?), to help people enjoy travelling more. Combining cycling and informatics looks interesting to me as well. It would be nice if you could get speed, position, cadence, heart rate, position and weather data into the same log with camera footage. I bet the technological basis is there, but we'd need more open interfaces from the gadget vendors and probably also some formal industry standards for that to come about. Think about the Internet, it would never have gone this far without lots and lots of those. I guess the Dutch ANWB could well provide GPS coordinates and even some online images for their navigation points in 5 years or so ) If the open platforms were there, you could easily just go ride and at home with a few mouseclicks, you'd share your route with others... -- Risto Varanka | http://www.helsinki.fi/~rvaranka/hpv/hpv.html varis at no spam please iki fi |

It only did simple ratios to help me find duplicates. I haven't used it in years. Sheldon's web based calculator is better anyway with different types of gear measurments and lots of standard cassettes and freewheels pre-programmed into it. --Bill Davidson -- Please remove ".nospam" from my address for email replies.

Yeah, Sheldon's is where I got the idea, when I found myself spending hours repeatedly running different combinations through it and decided I'd like to write a program to do all the combinations I'd want AND show some additional data... --Bill Davidson -- Rick Onanian |
