I love alliteration.
A couple of a storms popped up down south, some going to the
red i was told. Anyway, the thing i found interesting about the storms on
the last 8 days that i have seen, is that most of them have had very oragnised
flanking lines. The ones today had almost textbook flanking lines, stretching
back far beyond the storm. The Storm in sydney on wednesday had a moderate set
of flanking lines which grew and grew as the storm intesified, so much so, they
grew out of storm and behind us over the mountains. What does a flanking line
say about a storm? That there are an organised group of updrafts? Weird that even some of the storms i saw on the ranges on monday also
had pronouced flanking lines, and these looked nothing more
that showers.
Also does anyone have any knowledge/advice on video capture
cards and/or programs. I wish to make good quality stills from some video chase
footage.?

Howdy all.
1st I apologise to Mike. I looked all over the ASWA page for the webmasters
address and couldnt find it - I knew that if I posted to the list someone would.
Anyways, low cloud here this morning - pretty boring stuff really. I have heard
unconfirmed reports of a decent storm on the Central Coast this morning? Anyone
else hear?

For those not in QLD how can we experience this dramatic event on
Television. Would Someone be able to get the original from the networks ie.
one without ad breaks. or a taping of the show without ad breaks? I will
gladly pay for dubbing cost, if any. Oh I will pay for postage aswell :)
It would be nice to have as a backup, just incase We in SA decide to go
onto Television one day. :)

Given some of the latest traffic on the list that is related
to operational problems with some sites, please direct any
commplaints not at the persons who develop those sites (as
they may be innocent) but at the "perpetrator of proprietary
software despite the best efforts of open industry standards",
namely Mr. Bill Gates...
mailto:bill.gates at microsoft.com
Despite the fact that Internet Explorer V4 is better than
Internet Explorer V3 and the same goes for any software
vendor...Bill's developers decided to make their own
extensions to "Java". Java is Sun MicroSystems "open WORA"
(Write Once, Run Anywhere) language.
Now Sun took Bill to court and Bill appealed to a higher
court...but to cut a long and protracted legal story short,
we poor mug users are still stuck with Bill's software that
will run fine on Bill-generated Java/Java-script but maybe
not so fine on Java/Java-script designed to any real, proposed
or industry-accepted open standard i.e 100% Java-Compatible.
Coupled with this problem, some corporations and ISP's build
firewall http proxies that are designed to intercept all http
traffic, including traffic containing Java/Java script. Now
behind the firewall that I sit, some Java is filtered out and
some Java survives. Fortunately, all Java script works OK but
many Java applets get toasted en-route. So I have turned off
Java (applets) in my browser (Netscape 4.5). This means that
I don't get the full-features of some sites, but then again
these don't crash my browser because of broken Java, so I
have a net win. Turning of Java in my browser also solves
the broken Bill-Java also which is another win.
I'm not saying that Java is bad. To the contrary, Java
possibly represents the way that all software will go in
the long term. My only advice in this regard is directed
toward developers; that they only ever develop Java/Java
script that is 100% compatible with the industry-accepted
standards and they use tools to check generated code such
as "weblint" to sanitise the final product. That will mean
that Bill's proprietary Java extensions won't be used but
in the end, service providers will have happier customers
since there will be many less compatibility and interworking
problems.
There are other tricks of the trade which will help a
person build really robust and great-performing sites
- ASWA is one of those sites. But it is not appropriate for
any site to go on supporting an increasing variety of
software versions. That is an unreasonable support load.
Although I don't agree with the perpetual march of software
versions in principle, common sense must prevail and the
march of new software for browsers in particular, becomes
one of those inevitable facts of internet-life. If one
can't cope with that, there are many good free public domain
browsers around that'll run on anything that may not have
the bells and whistle graphic capabilities or Java, but they
can nevertheless grab the information or image that you want.
Lynx is one such browser, for example.
Anyhow, I hope this information has helped...just a little.

1. I was not having a go at anyone. Please re-read my email and it will tell you
that I have accused no-one.
I was merely enquiring if a) radar might be done b) There might be some
technical problems with servers etc. I think people need to stop "reading"
things into email. Thats where probs lie.
2. As it was the 1st time I had used the members area I was unsure if it was my
Dept.s firewalls OR web problems.
That is why I asked. Simple.

I know that Paul...but the problem is the technology, its
use or improper use and that Mr. Microsoft is not God with
any right to force internet users to use only MS-products.
We unwittingly fall into -that- trap (and Telstra has done
this too) purely because it is the only one we know or are
familar about. Openess with technology is also about keeping
an open mind. I must admit that mine was closed a little
about our dear Bill since I was just recovering from two
support calls about one of his products, MS-Excel-97, and
wondered why there is a bloody flight simulator in the
thing while some basic, fundamental and consistent behaviour
in one particular area of the MS-Excel-97 product was
completely missing...

I know that Paul...but problems like this have come up in the
past and will continue to come up. You are not under fire...
and I was trying to give the list some info about how best
to deal with problems like this.

Difficult one, I know...As it is my job to discover new
services, it becomes part of my job to know exactly what our
corporate firewall does or does not and the implications of
this in terms of service...As for the sites I access, that's
a different problem.

I'm surprised that you could not find the "Help Page",
otherwise, the generic contact for ANY webmaster on ANY
site will be mailto:webmaster at site which for ASWA will be
mailto:webmaster at severeweather.asn.au
If such contact fails to solve the problem, then simply
direct a general enquiry to the list e.g. "I'm using
and cannot get any info from . Help please!".

I have used a "Snappy " and I am happy with it, but it is basic. I find
that Hi 8 images are far better than normal 8mm or VHS C too.
Michael
Also does anyone have any knowledge/advice on video capture
cards and/or programs. I wish to make good quality stills from some video
chase footage.?

Yep a few more formed late his arvo on the ranges.. (a big thanks to
Halden Boyd for calling me with radar info, very much appreciated), I saw
some great CG's from a cell( 3 strikes hitting the ground at once..!) near
Richmond somewhere, near the RAAF base maybe.. anyway i can tell you it was
a few km's north of Jimmys house :), At Jimmys house and was told he was
out chasing, gave him a call and met up with him as the cell dissipated,
attention turned to a cell growing on the mountains and we thought we would
head there to get closer to any lightning action that we might be able to
photogaph later on.
(Just as we drove off Jimmy stopped and helped a stranded turtle that had
made its way onto the road, the turtle should be gratefull we were chasing :)
After watching this storm for a while near Castlereigh (spelling?),and
taking video footage, we headed to Rooty Hill and then to Macca's for some
food, then back to Rooty Hill and home..Not a bad chase, certainly not a
bust, and what a fortnight it has been for storms around here.. and dare i
say, possibly more tomorrow.

Hiya Matt....
Sorry I didn't have a Sydney UBD to help you with the Richmond double cell
this arvo.
As you said there was a big TCu at Katoomba but it was short lived.
Most of the action again was Bowral-a-line-Nowra which was a good 100km
away.
I hope the radar sitting can be perfected......I didn't realise you are
driving thru satellite suburbs of Sydney....far flung from the ruralness up
here mate!
Cheers Halden
