I get auto updates on Firefox and it just started happening in the last few days. But I do switch character sets a bit for Asian Language sites so I thouht that might be the problem. I tend to empty the cache quite a bit so that shoudln't be a problem. I will let you know if I fix it <grin>. I might try the beta Firefox 4 though.

Hi everyone,

this is a post just to say that i have created a blog where i intend to write some articles about skyPlux and also about other thematics relevant to astrology. The layout is very simple and very modest... The idea is to (also) show that skyPlux is really ready for "production"!
For now, i've published a mundane astrology article about the 2011 Aries ingress for Lisboa-Portugal.

The blog is at http://skyplux.wordpress.com and it can also be accessible from the left menu in the skyPlux website. For now it is hosted in wordpress but in the near future I will put it in skyplux's web domain.


Thanks,
Jo?o Ventura

Skyplux and LMT entries..

29
Does Skyplux calculate before 1900? I was trying to enter the LMT for Tokyo in 1889 which is 9:19:04 in LMT and the there was a 'crash' in that I got no images on both Google Chrome and Opera. I am trying out the data for the day the Meiji Emperor declared the constitution of Japan that was in operation for WW2 and the first Atom Bomb etc. I estimate from an eyewitness in the hall (NYT 1889) that it must have been around 11:15 AM LMT.

I can't thank you enough for your effort to create this app and for offering it to all of us. ^.^

I can't open the "mentality" tab. It may be my fault and is not essential but you may want to check it (am using FF 3.6.13).

A request - if it can be implemented easily - it would be very handy to see Vx in the charts. I know it is not a point of attention for most but, I find it irreplaceable for mundane (and helpful in serious matters like health issues in horary).

My fav part of your program is giving one-click access to all 4 ingresses. Very helpful and nice touch. :'
Be kind, but be brave.

Majid,

yes, skyPlux computes to dates before 1900.. What is the data you are inserting? Maybe it is a new bug, i've been updating small things behind the scenes, and maybe i've created a new error!

Dione T,

the "mentality" is still not working, so no problem there! :)
About your request, what is Vx? Vesta?
Glad you enjoy the one-click access. I have employed considerable time figuring a way to make skyPlux user-friendly and intuitive, and i'm glad to see that i'm on the right track regarding that aspect. But my plan is to simplify even more the interface, to accommodate the new functionalities that are being implemented..

Thanks,

You did a very nice job on the user interface. The only nit I might complain about is how you handle timezones. I think it would be more intuitive if you were to require the TZ to be entered so that West is negative and East is positive - that is the actual difference of the zone rather than the adjustment value to get to TDT.

Thanks for the lovely program!

Hi Ed,

yeah, the data entering is still not the most usable thing. I've been leaving it behind since the first version, and someday i will have to face it.. :D
Yes, i use the (arithmetic) difference to calculate the UTC time given the TZ. The way you said (TZ negative for West, positive for East), is it the most used way? It is just a matter of exchanging a minus to a plus sign in the calculation of UTC..

It's what I'm most used to; others may have different opinions.
