Two users of my smtm monitor wrote in
to alert me to the fact that charts no longer display. This is due to a
change at the Yahoo! side of things: charts have now switched from gif to png
format.
Now, this is nominally a good thing, but unfortunately, Tk doesn't deal as
well with png formats, and this extends to the Perl/Tk bindings we use here.
It looks like there is a Tk::PNG module on CPAN, but it also looks as if it isn't in
Debian yet.
Broken record alert: As
previously noted on these pages,
Comcast now stresses dynamic in
dynamic IP addresses. The last one lasted three weeks and flipped on
Saturday. As this changes the dynamics of using broadband for a few personal
projects, I may have to look into more expensive options (Speakeasy?) or
external hosting.
