I've spent a bit of time tuning things up, and now I have an informal process for making my data up to date. This is a baseball standings tracker I've been fiddling with, as a demo. It's cool because its almost fully automated and I love having bits up to date. The only thing is I don't have a licence for the data. This isn't as big a deal as it seems, because there are places to snag data for historical data that have more permissive sharing. I'm unsure if there is any such feed for the current season as it goes on.

There are a couple of things I'd like to do -- one is to convert the data from sequential files that I have now into a database, which means I need to figure all of that out. I'd also like to accomodate the new Wildcard format -- right now I'm only using the old 2-teams per league.

I'd like to think about some of the older alignments, and even when there was no divisions and the leader of the league won the pennant. I'd also like to look into the live in-game scoring program that I have, but not in the short term.
