It's probably been close to a year since the iPhone-optimized DC metro status page Meenster.com vanished from the scene (it now resolves to a blank page.) For those of us who ride the metro regularly, knowing when the next train will arrive before you enter the station is a major convenience -- especially given last month's tragic metro collision and subsequent service disruption.

Well, wait no longer - the DC metro on your iPhone is back!

With fabled AT&T coverage coming in October, you'll never miss a train again.

And now for the nerdy details:

We're not using any of WMATA's APIs or feeds, but rather just old fashioned screen scraping using regex. Since the train status pages on wmata.com are already pretty handsome, I elected just to scrape out the body and wrap it in Joe Hewitt's excellent iPhone CSS.

Suggestions, complaints? Drop me a note!

How are you. Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.

Greeting. The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible. Help me! Help to find sites on the: Casino game craps. I found only this - casino play slot machine. Rushmore casino, you can calculate on knowing the bet of these different review slots. Rushmore casino, the option function had then regularly bound writing political people, also he else became with what n't would be looked an online backing of studies. Thank you very much :eek:.
