It should probably be mentioned that BlueSwordM is talking to Digikey independently, and Neal seems to have already ordered from a different supplier weeks ago.
The BLF list was updated 3 days ago. It does not update itself though; I have to do that manually.
I’ll try to clarify that next time I update it. The “automatically generated” part is true, but it means a script takes a very long list of posts as input, and then generates the list seen in comment #4. So the request numbers are not particularly meaningful, and are simply a side effect of the order requests happen. Request numbers aren’t guaranteed, because if I find any errors in the list, or if anyone cancels their requests, all the numbers afterward will change. There is no “Bob cancelled request #123, so can I have that spot?” because it’ll move everyone one number lower instead.
The update process is:
Run a script to download new posts since the last run.
Run a script to display new posts one at a time so I can manually categorize each one.
Manually copy that list to the link above.
Run a script to convert the full post list into a human-friendly interest list.
Manually copy the human-friendly version to comment #4.
So a lot of it is automated, but it’s not fully automatic.
I got off the interest list back in June because I decided to earmark the $$ for a BLF-LT1 but progress on that project is ? ………… so put me back on this list….Previously @ #1350… Thanks
