I got a reply from the client in Norway, and they emailed me details of the Bug they have with the software. The Bug seems to be really simple to fix – it is not really a bug but an artifact on how client/server systems work. What happened is that sometimes one of the Web Services was delayed, and timedout.

When the timeout happened, there would be an error message come up, which obviously did not look all that great to the client. Thankfully fixing the problem is fairly easy – basically just capturing the error if it happens and ignoring it. Well, not totally ignoring it. I do a background print so that I can know it is happening when I debug, but apart from that it is ignored. For all intents it is fixed.

I think it is really cool that I can use the Intentnet to see where a bus is on the other side of the world. I have included a screen dump of the software here. What I can tell you is that most of the busses from the airport to Oslo are on time right at the moment.

This is from the Ironman 2002 hotel, looking up to the hinterland. To the other direction was the ocean. I really liked the location and the hotel… The fact that there was a small mall nearby with a cinema (5-10 minutes walk) was even better.
