Thanks, I'm giving it a kick...

FYI, I am working on an alerting system to at least give me an automated notification of problems with servers so I can act more quickly.

Eric,

Email me at andy @ f5data.com... maybe if you're willing I can remote connect into your computer and I can see what I can do to get it installed from here.

Actually that functionality is not available in F5 at this time. What you're reading is for a feed of the raw HD NEXRAD data...essentially for companies that want to insert a radar image into some sort of GIS platform they have.

F5 is a GIS application itself and what it possesses for functionality is all that is available for HD NEXRAD. At this time it simply loads a static image and displays it. Animations will be an option in the future.

If you wanted to display that radar in another platform like Google Maps then you'd need a separate account for the raw data feed, which is the page you're talking about.

There are a couple other priority items right now, but we will add this to the to-do list.

Great to know you're back in the saddle, Andy! But the GFS is still stuck between 00Z today and 18Z yesterday.

Moisture convergence

Ahh yeah... I've got irons in about 8 fires at the moment (selling house, moving, buying house, creating 2 new products, etc.)...

We can add moisture convergence, if I ever get around to it.

F5 is not going to change in its core functionality. We will continue to just slowly add features and make changes to its existing format... IE, no change to all graphical solution. However, we will eventually be adding a web based product that will be a parallel option, rather than something that drives the way the F5 software works. That product too will have moisture convergence, and probably will have it before the f5 software gets it, because its more difficult to add it to F5, the way it is designed.

Keep an eye out for a really exciting, dare I say revolutionary, new product set to release by the end of the month... and I'll give you a hint... its sole purpose is to pinpoint the forecast of tornadoes.

Question re Windows 7

Well make sure when you right click the icon and go to Properties that in the 'Start In' field says something like:

"C:\Program Files\F5\"

If you have 64 bit it should be something like:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\F5\"

The quote symbols SHOULD be in there as well.

HD NEXRAD Updated

The last couple nights I've been working on the HD NEXRAD product.

It now updates every 5 minutes on the server. The F5 Software still needs to be updated so automated updates accomodate that frequency, but if you manually refresh you should have a new image every 5 minutes.

Also, I did some work on the color scale, and a reported bug from user Tim Brasel.

F5 App?

Well the story behind this is that the developer just disappeared, so the project has been put on hold. However, I have since put it back in motion, but now the intent is to start out with an Android app, and then move on to other platforms.

Obviously the goal is to make it the best weather app available. We will be including a lot of maps, that's the area where we can kind of go above and beyond what others provide since we can generate a countless number of our own maps. So we will incorporate a lot of maps that weather geeks would be interested in... besides the normal radar, satellite, forecasts, current conditions, etc.

So will it work on Blackberry? At this time thats not the priority, so although it may be possible to have a version for Blackberry in the future, its probably going to be a while if at all.

Server Mode: How Do I Get It to Loop?

As you know it creates consecutive images. To loop them on a web site, you need to load them into a java animation script...such as the one below:
