I have decided to discontinue sales of my AIS Parser SDK and have released the code under the BSD License on GitHub.
UPDATE 12/2018 - Note that I no longer own the aisparser.com domain, the code is only available on GitHub.
A few weeks back my ancient Compaq laptop stopped booting (two LOUD beeps, no display, no drive noises). This system has been used in the garage to act as a serial to WiFi bridge for my AIS receiver, and to log temperatures for the garage and freezer temps you see at digitemp.com. The AIS data feeds the Live AIS view of Puget Sound.
The laptop was exiled to the garage after its power connector broke for the 3rd time and I had to hard-wire it by soldering it directly to the motherboard. Its battery hadn't been holding a charge all that well either. I installed Fedora 11 or 12 on it, choosing to encrypt the whole drive. This ended up being a bit of a mistake, after power outages I would have to try to remember the passphrase, and after it finally failed I pulled the drive to read it with a USB to IDE adapter and was stumped until I looked at my password list and realized I had written it down.
I wasn't escaping the ship name and destination before creating the XML so a & character would make the javascript choke. Fixed now, so you should be seeing ships update.
