Thank you for getting the site up and running. its a great site

 

Thanks @messydesk , that was nice of you to do that.
I'm not a VAM guy, but it's good to keep it available for those that are.

 

Yeah, I did nothing to help, yet I was extremely pissed off about his little remark. Totally thoughtless and utterly classless. Batting 1.000 for the prototypical Millennial. Too eager to throw out their thoughts without actually thinking about what they are saying or how they may affect others.

I can only imagine the mind numbing hours that were spent running scripts with the most mundane tasks. He did it because it needed to be done, not because someone told him to do it. I for one have the utmost respect for him and the task he accomplished. My hat is off to you @messydesk!

 

He did far more to influence what people thought of him than he did opinions of VAM collecting.

Running the scripts was pretty much hands-off once they worked correctly. I tested them on small, manageable amounts of data, which grew a little at a time as I added test cases or found issues. Configuring an AWS Linux instance, then installing and configuring phpbb and MediaWiki were interesting tasks, as I got to learn about all that stuff in the process. Once I did the giant batch import of everything and it worked, that was pretty cool.

Thanks!

 

I very much appreciate your work on the VAM site and also your time verifying some VAMs I've just ventured into while broadening my EAC focus.

So far so good with a 1896-S VAM 1A and a 1921 VAM 75A.
