Quick-reference FFXI information on PC

[Elixer]

I've been gradually working on this, and it's not even fully finished... but I have made something that I call a FFXI Information Hub. As stated in the topic, it's mostly for quick reference and includes some various tidbits of information. Specifics include ~99%-accuracy airship time tables, zone maps (or data, for those that don't want a 17 MB ZIP file) for elementals, monster weakness and renkei charts, experience tables, strange apparatus info, skill cap charts, and a link to a list of various FFXI sites. Other misc data on the main section is the Vana'Diel week cycle and Vana'Diel-to-Earth time conversion. The only incomplete part of the hub is the food data, which I'm gradually working on whenever I can. I'm also working on converting a new monster weakness chart, that's much newer than the current one I have in the hub.
I've considered allowing others to download it, but I was never sure how it'd turn out... until I let a few of my friends have it (sent it to them via AIM). They've told me it's wonderful, though wish it had more information on it. I can't do too much, though, because of the always-changing data of FFXI. For example, I had a request for equipment data... I won't do it because it'd be easier for someone to head over to Somepage and get the info there using their Advanced Item Search.
This post's point... is that I am curious if anyone would be willing to give my little endeavour a try. I know it's not much, but it does offer a bit of offline data and such for quick reference. For those curious about it, the elemental-map-less version is about 400 KB at the moment, and the elemental-map-included version is about 17 MB. Both file sizes are for the ZIP files, not the fully unzipped amounts.

Send it to a mod of this site http://www.ffximc.com
They have good tools and will check it up and if it does what it says it does then you have it ready for alot if you want ^.^

Consider adding this into your info database. It's just about the easiest and fastest guide to all your organ farming needs I've found thus far.

To Marajade - Already done a full system scan; nothing found.
To Kire - Working on it.. sorta. Never heard of that site, but I'm trying to get registered. Even then, not sure about uploading it there.
To Bedwarmer - I won't add in that info, but I'm willing to add in the Koolaid site into the links page, to make things easy. :biggrin:
The reason the Strange Apparatus info is on here is because not many people know about how to use them or what they are. So I thought I'd put it in there, plus it is for quick reference, too. Keep that in mind.
Thanks for the comments and input. ^^;

I forgot to say this earlier, but might as well now. The entire hub is a collection of HTM files that you simply extract from the ZIP file. Place a shortcut of the main file (FFXI_info.htm) in your FFXI web site favorites list, and you'll be set. I know this sounds obvious, but I have 14 FFXI links on my list... and the only active one is the shortcut link to the main file. The hub is best used in Mozilla Firefox, for it's use of tabs for web sites.. at least, comfortably (personally speaking). I have ran two types of Adware and Spyware removal programs as well.. none of the files have anything embedded, for those who are still unsure of this.
