A quick look at the maps and model data this morning are showing in increasing chance for severe weather on primarily Saturday. Unfortunately the NAM model just barely misses 00Z Sunday (that’s 8PM EDT Saturday) so we’ll have to wait till later today to get a glimpse. If this does come through on Saturday I’ll […]
Time to update all the strings of this rope…
Phusion Passenger (mod_rails)
I installed the gem and went ahead to install the apache module but their setup script will not find my Apache2 installation. This is on Ubuntu 7.10 and my binary is called apache2 rather than httpd, though I’m not sure if this is the direct […]
Here’s my first catch-up post on both the recent severe weather we’ve had here in the Metro Detroit area, and the solar weather, which is quite exciting at the moment.
Severe Weather on 2007/06/02
With a giant low off in the Plains slowly moving our way, and the impending injection of Beryl moisture, we seemed primed for […]
This site has been horribly neglected recently but I’m hoping I’ll have some time each day to write up a post about what’s been going on and what I’ve been up to. Below is a quick little update of the things I’ll be looking to talk about.
Dayton Review - Great time, great finds, can’t wait […]
Well, only 1 day and 15 hours until I leave for Dayton. Once again this year I will be joining my father, KA8SPW and my grandfather, WA8OOH as we trek down.
For the trip down we’ll be connected to the Internet via an slow, but free, GPRS connection and will also be available on APRS as […]
Well, yesterday was a bust. Once I saw the line starting to build up I headed to downtown (Plymouth) to a parking structure for a better vantage point. We weren’t expecting anything tornadic as the directional shear just wasn’t there. After the initial line moved through real sloppy convection made it hard to get a […]
Just some elevated convection from all the moisture in the air. No rain was hitting the ground if any was even falling.
Well, yesterday was a good chance to get some good looking thunderstorms, even if they weren’t severe. Below are the cloud pics I took yesterday combined into one post. I still have to come up with a better way to post images to the web but for now this will have to do.
Jonathon Snook, who never disappoints with his tidbits of knowledge, shows us how to quickly whip up the somewhat lacking, but still possible OOP style programming with Active Server Pages in VBScript. In Self-referencing in VBScript, Jon goes on to give a small example on how to set up a class and how to self […]
And now a summary of my recent weather geekery…
Wind Speed Software
I am currently working on a new piece of software for InSpeed’s Vortex anemometer. It’s going to be completely written in Python to ensure that it’s platform agnostic. Currently the backend is written to properly read and calculate the wind speed. I’ve cross referenced my […]
