BKD,
I got your message on wunderground.com, and responded (I think). Anyway, I'm trying to resurrect this thing right now, making sure data feeds are still up/maintained etc. . I can't be sure all this will work until I get new model data from NHC (ie. we need a storm to check it out). I think I'm ok with bandwidth, but I'll let you guys know if that becomes a problem. I'll keep you posted over the next week or two as to the status.
Paul

Thanks, Paul. Looking forward to it. I'd love to work with you to potentially integrate gulf shore water gauges and such.

Working to make the SST (Via microwave @ 25km^2 resolution - www.discover-earth.org) better, along with adding Full Gulf/Atlantic radars via NWS.
Basically I'm going through my code and fixing any bonehead logic...along with trying to get ready to attack the model data logic for a complete overhaul. I see having something equivalent or slightly better than last year in a week or so (assuming we can get a TD or TS to track)...and then improving it over the course of the season. I need to get knee-deep in the newest kml spec to see what, if anything, I can now do better with the maturity of the spec.
I'll be slower during the week, but I'll keep in touch.
Paul

It's been a year since this thread was front and center- worth taking a look at by those who have joined the community since then.

"We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we may have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest." - Stephen Schneider (leading advocate of the global warming theory), Discover magazine, Oct 1989.
"Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous (global warming) is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are..." -former Vice President Al Gore, Grist Magazine, May 9, 2006

All,
As usual work is keeping me to a minimum of free time but I did update the link in my original post (page 1, post 1) to show the current data. The current data was actually being uploaded daily since the start of this season, but the network link kmz hadn't been updated to reflect that....sorry about that.
All the data is still up there in the form that it was most useful last season, and all of the new ideas haven't been forgotten about, just the time to implement them has.
The only issue I occasionally see it that the radar images aren't always available (ie. a radar is actually down, or radar.weather.gov serves a corrupt image...neither of which I can really do anyhing about.)
Regards,
Paul

Now that we have some active storms I'd appreciate if you guys (the users) let me know if you see any problems other than outside bandwidth (ie. image overlays from cimss.ssec.wisc.edu or radars etc). I think my bandwidth is holding up fine, and surprisingly enough I am working on getting the source code in shape to release to you guys here. I'm just adding proper databasing (via db4o) and cleanup where possible. I'm on the database kick now, and it seems to be working to my satisfaction, so I'll let you know.
When I do release the source code, the only thing you'll need to have to make it work fully are a copy of visual studio which is a free download for the standard edition(or if someone wants to port it to monodevelop or eclipse), an internet connection to retrieve the raw data as the program runs, and a hosting account to upload the kml output to if you want to publish it.
I'm sure once you guys have the ability to mod the program yourselves(and the TIME!!!), then all the modifications we've batted around will pop up. (Hint BK DeLong  )
Regards,
Paul

Paul,
The addition of tracking history is great. Could you change the color to make it stand out a little.
Great work, especially with the addition of coastal radars!!
