That Lightning Strike thingy

Does anyone have the link? We're having a serious thunderstorm at the mo.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, platypus belched forth and ejected the following:

I don't suppose a link to a Luftwaffe site would help?

l-)

 

No, but the main man in artificial lightning is Greg Leyh

seriously into high voltages - I've just read a six month old new
scientist article about him

 

Gone quiet now, apart from the rain. There were hailstones lashing down
when the power went out, about 20 mins ago.

 

Perhaps not.

Well I *am* sober..

 

I wrote one myself ... http://lightning.elyob.com/

It downloads the data when someone requests. Don't think I did the "every
minute for 15 minute" bit, but I enjoyed playing.

 

Nope, but I'm rather proud of this photo that I took a few years ago, left
it on the windowsill with the shutter open.

That looks like a pikey area ... any dog shit about?

If you feel the need to check out the whole of Europe (or individual
countries) then this is the best:

Thankfully no, pikeyness was on my housing checklist when we chose the
abode - unlike others.

 

Bad form and all that, but I just pissed "and am pissed" around with the
code. Should all be working now.

Bit of a long wait whilst it downloads the data. Plenty I could do with it,
but I'm not that bothered to make it all singing and dancing. (Spatial
databases, map bounding etc).

Good enough ain't it?

 

That's where I get my raw data from. Yup, that's the one.

 

Oh, so it's an "8am Sunday morning - wash the Beemer" area?

 

None of them seem to show any activity around Platy's though

 

Computer says its fucked

"Missing script - do you want to continue ?"

 

Lightning has fucked off then, innit?

 

Strange, seems to work fine in the latest IE & Firefox here. Oh well, it is
work in progress. (i.e. forgotten and works well enough for me).

Google maps timeouts huge time, hence the mention of using spatial
databases. Does this time out for you as well? (http://cycle.elyob.com/)
