David Webb General MemberBeginnings of this are now up on both the main weather dashboard and the webcams pages:
There is a link under each webcam image that will pop up an animated GIF with the last 15 minutes on loop (roughly 1 frame per minute, as long as we have every image in the last 15 minutes). The script will look at all of the most recent images for the current day. You will get an animation as long as the following are true:
- There are at least 15 webcam images for the current day
- The oldest one of the last 15 images isn’t more than an hour old (so you’ll still get something even if there are big gaps in the last several images)
I will be looking into other image compression methods to get the file size down, which will allow going farther back (since your example says 2 hours).
David Webb General MemberWow – really? Looks like they teach you how to run with your butt. I haven’t learned that technique yet (must be P6 stuff).
David Webb General MemberThe data will still show if there is any data for that day. Example: data streams in for 3 hours, and then the station goes offline for 2 hours; the offline message will show in addition to those 3 hours of data (plus the forecast data). Issue right now is that CRS and AJX have not been sending their data at all (working on getting that corrected).
David Webb General MemberThere is a link to the windgrams under each windgram (the “view all” link).
David Webb General MemberWe really appreciate your participation in the discussion and vote on the proposed changes to the CSS Bylaws.
Final vote came to the following:
- 55 yays
- 4 nays
Just a reminder that nothing is ever set in stone, and we will continue to take all of your concerns and feedback into account to help improve the club. Our (virtual) door is always open, so if you feel that you haven’t been heard, have questions, or want to propose other changes that you think will improve how we operate, feel free to email us at info@crestlinesoaring.org, or post something in the forums to start up a (civil!) discussion.
David Webb General MemberOk – I updated the “SoCal RASP” link at the bottom of the weather page to point to that. If anyone objects to that, chime in here.
David Webb General MemberI think that’s the new ACME harness and matching reserve.
David Webb General MemberSorry – I’m not a skilled weatherperson yet, so this is probably a good question for the rest of the group.
As for whether there’s a new RASP model – Gavin put together the new windgrams (props!), so he’s your guy as far as whether that table available on the soaringpredictor site is available.
David Webb General MemberBoard meeting schedule – I believe those are quarterly (this is my first year so that may not be correct). As soon as we know those dates, they will be posted on the events page here.
Email Ed for the minutes – he’s the secretary: secretary@crestlinesoaring.org
Email Jeff for the treasurer’s report – I don’t know of those numbers are supposed to be posted in a public forum so check with him.
David Webb General MemberYep – I’ve gotten that request from someone else too. It’s on the list.
It’s likely going to be put between the “Instruction” section and the “Merch” section.
David Webb General MemberAdded a topic about this here.
David Webb General MemberMight be cool to try to set up that same event and add the results to that study. Anyone have a gymnasium and a zipline?
David Webb General MemberOh – you mean the link directly under the windgrams? Will update those shortly (that changed a little while back and looks like I missed those).
EDIT: these are now fixed.
Still waiting on the point person for the AJX and CRS weather stations – “any time” now (could be today, could be next week).
David Webb General MemberAll of the webcams are now back up on the weather page.
Still working with the appropriate parties on getting the AJX and Crestline weather stations pointed to the right place, but those should be along very soon.
David Webb General MemberThose are fair points. I think it depends on if the majority of replies to a topic tend to be comments on the main topic, or if there are a significant amount that are direct replies to other replies (just my opinion, but I’m not a fan of the extra step of quoting text elsewhere on the page, but it’s not the end of the world to me).
Let me give that one some thought to see if there’s a happy middle ground. Possibly a link/button at the top that flattens and re-sorts the comments so that both methods remain available? Will think on that.
