data processing tutorials have outdated config files #106

Tutorial: https://github.com/acfr/snark/wiki/get-started-with-data-streams#datasets

"shrimp.config" in http://perception.acfr.usyd.edu.au/data/samples/circle/config.tar.gz appears to be outdated. Since it is not a standard config format (xml/json/ini...), it is not compatible with the "name-value-get" command. The command line: "cat config/shrimp.config | name-value-get sick-v/offset" reports the following error: "name-value-get: failed to guess format".

Therefore, "shrimp.config" should probably be translated into json, for instance.

Update: It appears that this config file format is still used today. I have the same problem with the newest datasets from mantris-shrimp.

@junderwood: all what it takes is to: replace shrimp.config with the current shrimp.json in the tarball

unfortunately, i cannot do it, since i don't have permissions for perception.acfr.usyd.edu.au

could you please either do it yourself or endorse the access permissions for me? (i don't even know where perception.acfr.usyd.edu.au files are hosted)
