A personal data manager, or the ability to have a user go to one place and get a massive file to use.
I have a lot of ns1 files, I have them all merged into 1 large ns1.. some of them don't have gps, most of them do.
1. upload an ns1 (ASP)
2. unarchive file if archived
0.||3. check this file against other files for redundancy
4. open ns1 and import into sql database
5. sort data, filter out junk, filter out non-gps data
6. export into ns1 file as masterfile
7. query database, and database reacts...
for example let's say i wanted to see all data on linksys mac addresses.. i would query, and i would return all data relevant.. let's say i wanted to narrow it to linksys mac addresses in calfornia... linksys mac addresses in california irvine.. etc..
8. after query is complete pack back into ns1.
9. download newly packed file.
I want this to happen live, or email the ns1 to an account.. etc.
But to do this it requires full automation...
If ns1's were not being used and supported I would be fine with summary and text files.. but if someone gives you an ns1, they expect and ns1 back... no one ever explained why ns1 was used in the first place, or why we even use it since it is not compressed and rather large compared to a summary file...
The only issue I am having with this mechanism is the ns1 file
everything else is cake.
