FARank updates and such
16 years ago
I get a lot of comments about the FARank page- mostly "when are you going to update it".
Now that my schoolwork is more or less complete, I have lots more time to tweak it. I'm currently restructuring the database tables to make it easier to update. Up until now, adding data was... retarded at best. (To give you an idea, up until February or so I didn't understand what a join was.)
Ideally I will be able to automate the update process with a script. It should have worked last time, but something broke and the unix "cat" command erased the file it was trying to read from. Interesting.
I have data from April 3rd that I will be adding soon, once I get all the queries fixed. Maybe I'll get something for May soon?

Thank you for the continued updates.
cat file1 | grep "#" > file2
and it erased file1.
I think it was because I forgot to close the output stream in the java file that generated file1.
