Over the weekend I did some fiddling on and off with the interface that was supplied on Friday. I duplicated a VB test program which was able to connect to the database server over the Internet and download data. Today I was hoping to be able to do the same things in Delphi. However, despite trying a number of different approaches I was unsuccessful. I have posted some requests for help on the net but not sure whetehr that will elad to anything.I decided to change my focus to the updating and plotting features instead and got the filtering happening and some of the plotting but knock off time.
This came a bit earlier as one of the Russian guys had his birthday today. (The title is "Happy birthday" in Russian)We all gathered at the Ice house across the road from the apartments from about 5 onwards. There was beer and plates of finger food and then some shots of vodka came out. I decided to get a tomato juice and tipped mine in it.
I am also in the money. A week or so ago, there was some discussion about how much the engineers could improve the drilling on one of the wells they are working on. In then end they had a sweep to predict the Rate of Progress for the next drilling run. The winner was the nearest guess that wasn't over the actual value. Mine was purely a guess (with some strategy) but ended up the best 27 vs the actual rate of 28.9. Ewerybody put up $10 so it was worth winning.
