[17:28:44 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> just not the external data you need at the moment
[17:29:36 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> tyler's been working on that script most recently
[17:30:45 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> and, oh, i think i see what you were meaning by "no this is external data"… i.e. that the external MAP data isn't user-specific?
[17:31:08 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> yes
[17:31:54 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> yeah, so in that case, it should be relatively straightforward to add new data generators. for some of the items jason was talking about on the phone this morning tho, which are user-specific, there will probably need to be bigger changes to the script
[18:07:55 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> The external_course.number column type is integer. This will cause problems for schools with course numbers like 190L, 210E, etc
[18:09:53 CDT(-0500)] <js701> specification says char pretty sure.
[18:09:57 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> can you open a ticket for that, jason?
[18:10:16 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> yeah. just wanted to confirm
[18:11:21 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> it is char
[18:12:52 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> 4:12p, that's the ideal time to start poking around in GPS code, right?
[18:14:08 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> IMHO, any time is a good time
[18:14:49 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> that didn't feel like sympathy
[18:16:00 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> IMHO, anybody who gets started in GPS code at 4:12p is a friggin genius worthy of Queen playing Flash Gordon every time he walks in a room
[18:17:24 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> i feel like if i just "walk" into such a room i'd be letting the room down
[18:17:59 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> "He'll save every one of us!"
[18:18:20 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> yeah…. should probably just give up now.
[18:19:48 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> I forgot you guys are all like 30
[18:20:07 CDT(-0500)] <js701> not me, oldest man in the room
