Re: Data Scrape and Delicious Inputting

[(Anonymous)]

I'd like to help but I'm confused on a couple points.

"Date Data point taken Please also include the time. This will be important if I do decide I can do something useful with the data about fills. I might not be able to, but I haven't made up my mind if I just want to give up on it or not. After all, I've already brain stormed a bunch, and even if dreamwidth did have a good API there is no way I could take accurate data about fill posts."

I'm not sure what you're asking for here. Do you want me to write down the date and time it is (in my timezone?) after I finish inputting a particular prompt on the spreadsheet? Should I include the timezone?

Also, for "Fill Post Date" do you want just the date that the fill was posted, or do you want the date and time?

And if a section doesn't apply to the prompt, say it's a gen prompt and all the pairing sections don't apply, do I leave those sections blank? Or should I put n/a or something similar?

1.) Date and time, in your time zone. Or in zulu time. But I'm an army brat so I'm used to having time like that. I'll convert them all to UTC later.

2.) For fill post data and I want a copy pasted time and date of when the first fill comment was posted. (Does this make sense? Your comment was posted on 2015-08-24 09:10 pm (UTC))

3.) Yes, do leave it blank.

Glad for your questions, hopes this clears it up.

OP: I also went a head in filled in the first four, so if you want to read those prompts and see what they look like in the spread sheet it might help.
