Data

[Guest guest]

Dear Das,

Just got this from another group, and was wondering if you realized

the data was incorrect. How is G3 coming along? I really want so much

to get it.

Namaste,

Dear Alicia, Ron, and List Members,

 

OK...So I didn't have my latte BEFORE I typed that babble

below...However, there IS a lesson to all this

- never trust data from a "source", such as GJ, without first checking

to see if everything is in 'order', or at

the very least, a "probable" order, because not only does he (Das) have

the Zone listed wrong in GJ, (and

I just went along with that, ;-( he also has Paramahansa listed as a

"Female", which completely escaped

my rational mind this morning...Hmm...The heat and humidity must have

temporarily fried my brain.... Sorry

guys. ;-))

 

~Namaste~

Hello

 

Regarding the famous data in GJ:

 

 

I got my data from a collector, paid for it, but never "massaged" it nor

"edited" it.

 

I just imported it.

 

 

Part of the way I got so much done so fast was by NOT getting into all

the details.

 

 

I wish I had the time or person to edit the fame files. It's something

that needs to be done.

 

The setting for male verse female is TOTALLY unimportant and affects

NOTHING in any astrology instance, nor in my program. So that point

doesn't matter at all.

 

As for time zones and so on, yes, the data is imported with many things

in error. There are things you can do to fix this easily. Namely, pull

up a fame chart, then TAB THROUGH the birth data fields. This will pull

in the correct time zone and long/lat etc. for most people, or most

cases in other words. Sometimes the city names are not typed correctly,

then more intervention on your part is required.

 

In some cases, with old births, before the big 15 day date shift we had

in our Western Gregorian Calendar, the dates are "the other way". In

other words, GJ does NOT automatically account for this calendar shift.

It's a puritan in that regard. So some of the old charts need to have

their dates of birth changed by 15 days to account for this.

 

I want to have all this fixed, but just haven't prioritized it high

enough on the list of things to handle.

 

Much of the data is fine. However, one should at least do the tabbing

check mentioned above, in all cases.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Das Goravani
