A Non-Public Site
for EGG Planning Group and Hosts
Where Things Are
(See also the EGG Data page on the
website)
- For new hosts who can run Linux or
Unix, there is a page with instructions and download link
at http://noosphere.edu/software.html
- Latest update to egg and basket code.
Source and compiled code accessible by command line ftp (use your own username and
password). /home/john/egg/egg-r4
The software now is available in the same directory on dicklnx.psy.uva.nl.
Another directory, egg-r5 exists (98-09-26), but John has not yet said it is a new
release. As of 99-01-01, Greg has made release 5 beta available in /home/egg/src, or via
the link above. These releases contain the source code and
the executable program for running an egg on your Unix machine. You may need to compile
from source for your particular machine. There is complete documentation in the source
code (egg.c) and all the changes from earlier versions are in the log.doc file.
- Location of running basket program
and data files.
/data/rawdata
- Current status report on eggs
reporting to the basket program
/data/rawdata/egg.status
This is now supplanted by the link from home page to EGG network status.
- Config file that defines the eggs
basket will see
/data/rawdata/.basketrc
A new field has been defined for the configuration file, to specify a URL wrapped around
the egg name in the HTML status report produced by the basket. This is done with a new
optional seventh field on the EGG declaration in the .basketrc file. For example:
BASKET diesse 193.8.230.134
EGG diesse 37 193.8.230.134 diesse PERM 1 http://www.fourmilab.ch/
EGG noosphere 28 128.112.35.133 noosphere PERM 1
http://teilhard.global-mind.org/
EGG throop 1003 193.8.230.132 throop PERM 1
- Location of analysis programs
/home/john/egg/analysis John
has developed a forms-based query interface which permits custom retrieval of data from
the real-time database files maintained by the basket. Simply enter the date for which
you're requesting data and the start and end times, and you receive an easy-to-parse CSV
file with the second-by-second results from all eggs which have reported data for that
period to the basket.
You can experiment with data
retrievals by accessing this URL. You can make requests of this server with lynx and http_get, as
well as URL streams from Java, to retrieve current data from the basket.
As of early November, the website
EGG Data page has links to some of the data processing and access materials provided by
John.

and information on the timezones around the world, to help orient the GCP locations and
predictions.
- And a site where you can locate yourself on the globe;
longitude, latitude, and distance between locations.
Speaking of the globe, there are fine, detailed pictures available on the NASA pages.
