11:00:08 <getling> Anyone else having Finance:Quote issues recently? Just came back from a week away and getting 'unknown error' on quote retrieval...
11:06:37 *** fabior has joined #gnucash
11:22:32 <jralls> getling: Worked OK for me just now.
11:28:18 <getling> jrails: Thanks...not the answer I was hoping for :)
11:29:22 <getling> Tried OS update, fq-update script, and the fq-dump script is giving me nothing usable on multiple quote sources
11:30:56 <getling> Dump says either not found at all, errors out with XML in the quote field, or deduces the stock name but gets no info.
11:31:08 <getling> Depending on the quote source used
11:32:30 <getling> I'm on a Mac running El Capitan, if that makes a difference in this case
11:34:01 <jralls> getling: The Mac part doesn't, I'm on the same.
11:35:08 <jralls> Can you connect to the source's website from your browser?
11:36:23 <jralls> Does gnc-fq-dump work with yahoo "AMZN"?
11:37:21 <getling> I'll test AMZN...was running test with CSCO just now with no results found
11:38:09 <getling> And I can connect to finance.yahoo.com fine through a browser
11:39:08 <getling> no results for AMZN either
11:39:28 <jralls> csco-amzn no difference. That's not it, then.
11:41:35 <getling> I have had some slowness previously retrieving quotes on this network that has gone away while using work VPN, but that hasn't made any difference today.
11:42:49 <jralls> Let's try using F::Q directly. In ~/.cpan/build/ you'll find a Finance-Quote-1.38-xxxxx where xxxxx is a random string. Under that you'll find Examples/stockdump.pl. Try running
11:43:14 <jralls> path/to/stockdump.pl yahoo AMZN (or CSCO if you'd rather).
11:45:30 <getling> That's interesting output...
11:45:32 <getling> $VAR1 = {};
11:46:47 <jralls> No error message?
11:47:04 <getling> nope, just that single line
11:47:24 <getling> and lest we think it's just 1.38, I have an older 1.37 that gives the same
11:47:31 <getling> something is strange in perl-land
11:48:11 <jralls> Something strange in getling's connectivity. What if you say yahoo_json instead of just yahoo?
11:50:20 <getling> I'll try that, then I'm going to try hopping on my work VPN again - I've had slowness retrieving quotes at home for some time that isn't there when on VPN, although that seemed affected today too. I'll try it again, but I'll probably have to hop off and hop back on IRC.
11:51:31 <getling> I accidentally ran it first against 1.37, which gave a 500 error
11:52:09 <getling> even though it's accessible through the browser
11:52:12 <getling> http://finance.yahoo.com/webservice/v1/symbols/AMZN/quote?format=json
11:52:38 <getling> same for 1.38
11:52:40 <jralls> 1.37 vs. 1.38 shouldn't matter. That was a screen change in another source.
11:53:12 <getling> yeah, FQ throwing 500 error while Chrome on same machine has no problem
11:53:40 <jralls> Hmm. I wonder if your DNS is out of whack. What happens if you run curl on that URL?
11:53:52 <getling> I was just thinking about DNS myself
11:54:18 <getling> curl is fine though
11:54:25 <getling> let me flush my cache
11:57:16 <getling> still a 500. Let me try rebooting my Time Capsule router
11:57:20 <getling> be back

12:09:03 <getling> @jrails: full network power cycle kicked the problem.
12:09:03 <gncbot> getling: Error: "jrails:" is not a valid command.

12:09:23 *** andy has joined #gnucash
12:10:28 <getling> Thanks for your help. That was a new one for me.
12:10:58 *** nomeata has quit IRC
12:12:38 <jralls> getling: You're welcome. Odd though that curl worked and perl didn't. Oh well.

16:10:43 *** CapitenPi has joined #gnucash
16:17:15 <CapitenPi> in case of a House Mortgage /from gnucash example) i have Liabilities:Loans:Mortgage Loan and Expenses:Mortgage Adm Fees
16:17:57 <CapitenPi> when i pay monthly, do i need to split the amount of money i transfered to the bank in two parts?
16:18:14 <CapitenPi> (Adm fees and mortgage loan?
16:20:30 <warlord> CapitenPi: yes, and possibly even more. part of your payment pays the principal. some pays the interest. and some may go into an escrow account.
16:21:31 <CapitenPi> this means, that each time i make a payment, i need to compute thows two parts...
16:22:07 <CapitenPi> and use multiaccount. this is not simple....
16:22:46 *** rubdos has quit IRC
16:23:33 <CapitenPi> does gnucash give me the tools to compute it for each month?
16:36:29 <warlord> CapitenPi: Mortgage & Loan Assistant, under the Scheduled Transactions... But it only works if you exactly pay the loan and dont over-pay
16:36:54 *** mlncn has quit IRC
16:57:07 <CapitenPi> ... pitty
17:03:10 *** gjanssens has quit IRC
17:05:04 <warlord> There is no "balance-as-of-date" functionality in the SX system with which to compute the actual P/I split if you pay down your principal.
17:05:21 <warlord> Me, I just let the SX system do its thing, and manually adjust it when I get my monthly statement.
17:05:34 <warlord> I care more about my bank account balance than the loan balance.
17:08:56 <warlord> anyways, bedtime for me.
