boxcar online inventory: I upgraded the replication software so the version on the boxcar computer now will e-mail me when there is a replication error. I had to implement this in a somewhat roundabout way since Python’s SMTP logging module wasn’t appropriate since it required a direct connection to an SMTP sever. Instead, I modified the replication program to use the HTTP logging module and then wrote a simple PHP program that receives the error log and then dispatches the mail message.
I added an administrative password to the router in the shop (can’t believe there wasn’t one before), and also changed the SSID and set up a WEP key.
