so we need to import this spreadsheet into your visualizer.

unfortunately i have not much experience with html and php. i prefer offline scripts.
by Edano 5/25/2011 12:58:38 AM

@Edano I could mess with the html end of it. Is the visualizer back end scripting in php? I didn't look at it closely. Is RadioGuy's spreadsheet set to auto update?
by Nancy 5/25/2011 1:00:00 AM

@Nancy i think it's manually only. and the controls are grayed out. he would have to permit editing i guess.
by Edano 5/25/2011 1:02:11 AM

@Edano Take a quick look at this page, in the example code there is a URL. Is that the URL of the spreadsheet we are using? This is the line of code <script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.google.com/jsapi'></script>
link code.google.com

@Edano Ok, so the auto updating of the spreadsheet is where we are stuck. I have no clue how to get the csv feeds to act on the spreadsheet.
by Nancy 5/25/2011 1:02:59 AM

this should be the data scource: "src='https://www.google.com/jsapi'"
by Edano 5/25/2011 1:04:50 AM

sending a request to a spreadsheet: code.google.com
by Edano 5/25/2011 1:07:06 AM

@Edano So the full URL of Radioguy's spreadsheet goes there. It threw me because of the short URL that looks different than google dog URLS.
by Nancy 5/25/2011 1:07:23 AM

@Edano, Rob, I think I might be able to muck my way through this. I need the URL for RadioGuy's spreadsheet. It will need a way to auto update the fields though. I have no clue how to do that. '=_

Once the gauge app(s) is in the doc, it can export the "chart" to HTML.

So we still need to determine how to auto update the spreadsheet from the csv files
by Nancy 5/25/2011 1:10:18 AM

@Nancy We need a feed. Or get a bot/script to retrieve and port the CSV data on intervals.
by Rob in SF 5/25/2011 1:10:18 AM

@Rob in SF do you have a feed address for the data?
by Nancy 5/25/2011 1:10:40 AM

@Nancy : i think only radioguy has the permission to change the attributes so the spreadsheet can suck the data periodically.
by Edano 5/25/2011 1:11:07 AM

@Nancy : the URL is spreadsheets0.google.com if you mean that.
by Edano 5/25/2011 1:12:05 AM

@Edano I can check with him on the permissions. We need a plan on auto updating the data. Is there something that SPEEDI page used that might work.
by Nancy 5/25/2011 1:12:17 AM

Here's Google Code on the API to auto-port the CSV to the doc.

Ooops... code.google.com

I did a search.. WAY TO GO .. whooooooo hoooooooo
by dean 5/25/2011 1:13:00 AM

so we need the live feed and the automatic import. and then pass it to visualization.
by Edano 5/25/2011 1:15:51 AM

@dean you should ask veenie for the search he did - that was really scary had to drink gallons coffee to calm me down
by elainekirk 5/25/2011 1:17:11 AM

lol he he elaine.. the internet is a strange world huh
it sure is Dean

@Edano Yes. I sorta understood the uploading info, the java version used a URL to call a CSV file. I'm not making any promises.
by Nancy 5/25/2011 1:19:56 AM

Is Elaine Famous?
Noo not this one anyway :)
by Nancy edited by elainekirk 5/25/2011 1:21:38 AM

I just copied Radioguy's spreadsheet so I could edit it. Then added a row and added the gadget. I couldn't get it to display the data, but there is a drop down to PUBLISH the gadget which generates the HTML code for the website. Very cool.
by Rob in SF 5/25/2011 1:22:36 AM

@Rob in SF I will talk to RadioGuy when he has time. Maybe we can get the update sorted out. I think the visualization part is the easier side of it.

TEPCO describes 3 meltdowns / Report on Fukushima N-plant outlines downward spiral of events
www.yomiuri.co.jp
Tokyo Electric Power Co. admitted for the first time Monday the Nos. 2 and 3 reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant likely suffered core meltdowns, in addition to a previously acknowledged meltdown in the No. 1 reactor...

The report was submitted to the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of the Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry.

As much as 800 kilograms of hydrogen was generated as a result of the overheating of nuclear fuel at the No. 1 reactor, according to TEPCO. The amount was enough to destroy the reactor building, according to nuclear experts...

@Nancy dean set me of looking for myself and the first result was my google profile, anyone can make one and you can add links while I was there I added this site and when the site goes live can add that and if everybody does it that is a lot of linkthroughs which google would see as legitimate as they are personal reccomendations
by elainekirk 5/25/2011 1:33:35 AM

@dean it is very quiet today I think the weather is affecting many in different ways
by elainekirk 5/25/2011 1:41:43 AM

@estacion do we know why tepco have chosen that kind of graphics it seems very limiting given the tools available
