Who's going to look after the flinging of toys from the playpen?


I've got a first aid certificate if that helps :P.

I could try behaviour modification - or adapt the playpen.

I would offer to broadcast the audio forecasts on my net radio station

We'd interview each other using Skype (skype.com) allows voice
conversations via Pc

Not necessary to hire expensive studio's / use powerful transmittors
these days

The Shipping Forecast could be spiced up a bit. Get someone to read it
out using their ah-hem 'bedroom' voice

Well Will, you suggested it, lets go for it!!
Lightning help in this direction along with a few others

I can allow input to my webserver through the weblog or via other php
scripts - and can moderate here most of the time as I work from home a
lot. I've got 160Gb of RAID-5 available for hosting using Apache, MySQL
and php. It's not high traffic and voluntary so I'm not breaking
Telewest's acceptable use policy.

Setting up another dedicated page or website isn't a problem.

I'm less fond of live streaming but occasional video's fine. I'd have to
look into Skype.

Somebody would have to look into using internet product as it wouldn't
be for personal use...

We could give Metcheque a run for their money, we'd blow the BBC off the
planet and give live as-is weather reports.

I'll need to save some cash!! ;-)

Any thoughts on a corporate logo yet?

It's occurred to me that with the vast expertise in this group we could run a
virtual meteorological office. We have our very own satellite images courtesy of
Bernard, we have our own gliding and aviation expertise courtesy of Jack and
George, we have ocean and consultant expertise courtesy of Norman, a few of us
have modelling and statistical expertise, several of us have forecasting
expertise, no doubt there are some who have marketing and meda presentation
skills (not mentioning any names:-) ).

Interesting isn't it ?

Well, I'm a retired police officer so I could look after security
matters (internal and external).

Wow what a response!

It's certainly feasible but it does need organizing. Many many years ago I and a
few others had this idea of setting up our own weather service based on
interpretation of satellite images, observations and experience, it never got
off the ground because we recognised that we needed access to NWP data too.
Things have changed vastly since then and it is certainly feasible now as shown
by companies like Metcheck. But what Metcheck lack is width of experience and
that is precisely what we have in usw. But what could we offer in the way of a
service?, how ambitious should we be?, I think we need a pilot. Les has offered
web space and we could use that. Jack provides gliding forecasts, we have a
fantastic meteorological resource in the FAQ, I provide a weekly outlook, Darren
gives daily summaries, a lot of us provide observational data, if all that could
be hosted *easily* on one site somehow (even if only by links in some cases)
then it would be a fantastic start and certainly something to build upon. Is
there any way that posts could be captured automatically and put onto a web
page? Like Colin Young's summaries for example.

Mission Statement & Corporate Logo mentioned in the same posting. It all
brings back the nightmare memories, and I had virtually recovered.

I need a drink.
