Hello
where to find a description of the column header meanings (i.e. effectivity "S", "M" and "L")? What do these figures indicate? Can one conclude troubles or mafunctioning hw based on these numbers?

Thanks and best regards

Hi,

Is the dynamic map option "show only strokes by station" and "stroke counter (stations)" gone forever? I found this quite useful.

Helllo everyone!

What´s wrong with lightningmaps.org? In the last days the statistics is full of gaps. Server overload? 


Currently the statistic is not up to date:
"Last update: 122.7 minutes ago"

Could anybody  please explain this?

Cheers

Hi everyone, i've got some problem with showing maps on blitzortung.org i've updated java and flash player but that doesn't help me. Could somebody give me a solution what should i do ?

Hallo,

Hi there,

catchy title? Yes, but the text will be worth the time reading it.

About myself: I'm a German living in Berlin, studying physics and consider myself a hacker. I'm a member of the c-base, the oldest and one of the biggest hackerspaces: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-base or www.c-base.org

"A hackerspace (also referred to as a hacklab, makerspace or hackspace) is a community-operated workspace where people with common interests, often in computers, machining, technology, science, digital art or electronic art, can meet, socialize and collaborate." (wikipedia)

I use blitzortung for quite some time now, and would definitely like to see it grow. Living in Berlin I don't see a great need for a station at my home. But there is another activity of mine that maybe would be very useful: I'm an active participant of the yearly chaos communication congress (over 10'000 people) and this years chaos communication camp (around 4'500 people). Between the thousands of German visitors there are always hundreds of hackers from all around the world.

I have read the newsletter and some posts here and there and know there's only little information about the upcoming system blue.

So my questions is simple: Can you please tell me when to expect the system blue and what the estimated price range will be?

If I have the answer before the first week of august I can promise you to talk with people all over the world or people who have an one hop contact to everywhere. And those people have the interest and capability to build and maintain the stations and most of them even have the funding to get right into it.

places I have in mind and I know at least one person associated with them:
Cairo
Seoul
Hong Kong and/or Shanghai
Tokio
Canary Islands
Singapore
Kathmandu

And I'm positive I will meet a lot more people in August and December, to see a list of possible candidates check the https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/List_of_Hacker_Spaces


I will invest my time to see the global coverage grow and infuse more people with the idea to track lightnings in their region if you are able to help me with it.

If you have any questions about myself, the c-base, hackerspaces, the ccc camp or congress etc. don't hesitate to ask.

Hi,

sorry for bothering you with that strange question.
I cannot anymore login to both blitzortung.org and lighningmaps.
Yesterday blitzortung worked, I clicked the forgot password link. Now no system lets me in.

I had re-activated my station 1053 and it is sending successfully.

Can someone help me here? Or post a link to where I could get help from?


Thanks,
Sebastian

Who knows how you have set up MyBlitzortung so the lightning alarms appear on Twitter . An example would be my favorite .
My version is the 1.4

Wer weiss wie man myblitzortung einrichten muss, damit die Blitzalarme auf Twitter erscheinen. Ein Beispiel wäre mir am liebsten.

Hi All,

I've had my marker in for a kit for probably over a year, but with the demand last year and the upgrade to the system more recently, obviously haven't been offered the option to start.

It also looks like I won't be considered, due to the saturation of monitoring stations around me (SE England), unless they want a scattering of 'blues' and can get involved that way (but I suspect priority will be given to proven participants (understandably), so will again fail to meet the requirements).

Can people be members without having hardware?  If not, then we can't be part of this project though bad luck of locality.  I'm sure there are a lot of 'dabblers' who would love to get involved but would fail to meet the recent and coming location requirements.

Any suggestions?


regards
