Sound really promising. Is there any documentation on this feature? I got connected to the SSH, but from there on I really don’t know what to do.. for instance; where can I find the code I’ve created in the web interface

However, to do so you have to SSH in to your box. See https://beta.scraperwiki.com/help/developer/#boxes-unix and https://beta.scraperwiki.com/help/make-your-own-tool/

And how about possibilities for a custom schedule? I’d really love to see the ability to schedule at several date/times; like run at sunday’s at 13:00 or run at 27/05/2013 13:00. Now I use reminders on my phone to manually start a scraper.

]]> Comment on Why the World Got Stuck on Spreadsheets and the Future of Data Manipulation by freerangeresearch http://blog.scraperwiki.com/2013/05/20/why-the-world-got-stuck-on-spreadsheets-and-the-future-of-data-manipulation/#comment-5982 Tue, 21 May 2013 19:47:48 +0000 http://blog.scraperwiki.com/?p=758218783#comment-5982 I think that people will be more open to different ways of working with data in time. There seems to be a culture shift from “the spreadsheet is the foundation of all data” to “what is that, and why do I need to learn it?” That culture shift will strengthen as people learn different ways of working with data and find different kinds of data to work with.

That said, I have no visual handle whatsoever on what you’re getting at, so I’ll poke around your links a little. In my mind, data storage and data visualization are two very different things. Spreadsheets are more for storage than visualization. But then, that’s my inner statistical programmer talking.
