Yet Another ATCS Monitor Experiment
Posted by voice | Filed under Stuff, Techie
Interested by a website left in a comment in a previous posting about ATCS Monitor I decided to see if I could get sort of the same thing going myself. While the site in the comment apparently used VBScript, and no longer works, I decided to go the ghetto way of doing things, running the program on a server and having Irfanview take a screenshot of it every 45 seconds. The end result is this, naturally it looks pretty rough due to my method of acquiring the screenshot but I myself am not a VB programmer, nor a .NET programmer.
Oh, in case you’re wondering, the UP Geneva Subdivision stretches from Clinton, IA to Chicago and is the UP mainline that runs through Rochelle, IL.
It is now down.
This will probably not be coming back anytime soon, or at least not until ATCSMonitor can run on Wine without a issue. Its become too much of a time consuming hassle to get Windows working for such a small item. Sorry.
