Fall IN is around the corner, and we'll soon be crossing the Mighty Susquehanna in a pilgrimage for non stop good times.

To assist you in your convention amblings, I have created another Guidebook app for this show. The "rundown" is short and sweet this year as there are no new features.

Sorry for the multiple posts. I think it got stuck in posting mode.

Thank you, Walt, for your work! You are an unsung hero!

Walt. Looks like Sundays games are missing. Could you add an overview of the hotel layout?

WaltOHara23 Oct 2023 10:15 p.m. PST

Augie:

Their appear to be 13 Sunday games in the schedule, which sounds about right for a Fall IN. Here is a snapshot of the Master Schedule, filtered to show only things happening on Sunday Nov 5 2023.

Crosschecking against the registration data I received, it does show only 13 "Z" or Sunday games. Can you tell me what you are looking at?

Hotel Overview map: In the past, I lifted this off of their website. They do not appear to be publishing one right now as I can't find it. I can try asking the hotel.

Many of the war college and hobby U entries are showing an 11pm finish time, despite starting much earlier in the day. This means that they clash with other events in my schedule.
It is not a big deal as I have managed a work around, but I thought I would let you know in case it can be easily corrected.

WaltOHara24 Oct 2023 9:33 a.m. PST

Martyn. I'm not seeing what you are seeing. I just went to speakers, then scrolled down to where their events were linked, and I only saw one ending in 11, the one that started at 10. All seminars are a default one hour long.

I'll check hobby u as time allows (I'm at work) but pls contact me with the known offenders. I pulled this from a word document for the speakers and a pdf for the Hobby u.

WaltOHara24 Oct 2023 9:34 a.m. PST

The short answer is I can fix anything as soon as I get verification the original data was wrong

Martyn K24 Oct 2023 10:14 a.m. PST

SEM 01 is one of the war college ones with a problem

Martyn K24 Oct 2023 12:31 p.m. PST

It might only be the one, I added SEM 01 to my scheduled, because it then filled the entire day, it lead everything else from Hobby U and War College that I tried to enter to be conflicted as well

47Ronin24 Oct 2023 2:47 p.m. PST

Great job, Walt.

FYI, War College lectures are all 1 hour (max).

Looking forward to Fall In.

WaltOHara24 Oct 2023 8:46 p.m. PST

Martyn K:

You were right. SEM1 was listed as ending 11 PM not AM as it should have been. I fixed this.

Walt, awesome as always.
Questions, why are the rules never listed?
Hobby University you can't search for. Can only search for HU which brings up extra results. Can this change?

aye, it can. I'll make a note for next show. Basically we're extracting the fields captured by the registration process and combining them into a data loading script. Rules is one I've done before but I got lazy this time, I think.

P.S. re the War College: you don't have to pre-register; just show up at the Hopewell Room. Plenty of seats for all.

Plus, that way signing up for a lecture won't block you out of other events.

Hope to see you there.

WaltOHara25 Oct 2023 6:45 p.m. PST

47Ronin.. I think Martyn meant to add a SEM event to his "my schedule" for that day. Nothing in Guidebook is hooked to pre-registration, to avoid any confusion.

47Ronin26 Oct 2023 11:06 a.m. PST

Thanks for the clarification, Walt, and for all your support of HMGS and Fall In.

Travel safe.

Looking forward to the show.

Signed up for Fri and Sat, just had a hernia operation today but I will make it

If you need a hand moving something in, let someone know.
