Aaaaand we’re back!
This was a bit faster than expected: EagerFeet is live again! Go and try it out, especially if you’re a SportWatch user. Let me know if you run into any issues!
The reason for being coy earlier was that the Nike servers were throwing inexplicable errors. It turns out that they like to report errors when there’s some kind of timeout, so now the program will retry getting GPS data when it’s sure that it’s there, despite error message from Nike. The way it can tell that is that there is a GPX ID in the data, which is only there when there’s also GPS data.
The retries should take care of Nike’s flakiness, but if you’re still getting the “No GPX Data” message and you’re sure it’s there, please try again after an hour or so. It seems that the servers sometimes get overwhelmed, but a little time later they’re responsive again.
Now that this issue is fixed, on to more features! I will talk about what’s planned for the future in another posting in a day or so.
