October 29, 2020: November 2 DDoS Attack ?
I received an ransomware demand email stating that this site will be
subjected to a DDoS attack starting on November 2 if I do not pay
a "ransom" of $1150. I have no intention of paying such since this site is of no financial value to me.
I suspect the extortion warning to be a bogus, but should you
experience difficult accessing the site after that date, such is likely
the reason. (Nov.5 update: The email was indeed a simple scam. More info)
July 20, 2020: NEW SERVER:
You are now using the new virtual Blipmap server. The RAP and NAM BLIPMAP forecasts are working, as is the forum - but I have checked little else. If you find something not working, please report it on the Blipmap Forum. and I will attempt to fix it.
REGISTRATION:
All BLIPMAPs are now freely available to registered users.
Registration (free) is needed for direct (no-nag-screen)
forecast access.
New users can
Register here.
Currently registered users can
Logon (get new cookie) here
or
view registration (cookie) status here.
More info is available at the
Registration Information webpage.
EMAIL POLICY: There are
many advantages to having one person's knowledge be shared and
available to others, so I expect most BLIPMAP issues to be handled through
the
Blipmap Forum
and ask those who have a question or problem or experience which could
be of interest to others to post it there. This allows others to
comment on the matter if they have any personal experience and also
allows any response I make to be read by others. If you send me
an email, I will respond personally only if it's nature is not
appropriate for such posting - in other cases I will simply
reply with a request to post to the forum. FEEDBACK REQUEST:
I only look at the webpages and maps that I use personally or that I
suspect might contain an error. If you notice a consistent
problem with either, please post a message on the
Blipmap Forum.
Heros:
Thanks to John Whitney (F9) for creating this UniViewer.
I also want to personally thank those whose support is listed on the
Contributors webpage.
