Serves me right for letting myself be influenced by all the noise on
here.

So anyoldhow. What exactly has been the general trend with the Met
Office since it moved from Reading?

I gather this was written by a Dawlish clone:

"Why the need for a move?

In the late 1990s, there was a growing realisation at the Met Office
that their accommodation, spread over various sites in and around
Bracknell, with a failing infrastructure, was a constraint on their
evolving business.

Having departments located in various sites, because of past business
expansion, caused inefficiencies and communication difficulties.

[Is that why iot worked so well? Or was I a believer in those days?]

Because of the proximity to London, they were also finding it
difficult to recruit new staff.

[So they moved to Exitdoor where the genwe pool is dramatically
better?]

Expert advice indicated that refurbishment was not a cost-effective
option: they needed a new home. So work began in September 1999 to
outline the Relocation programme in terms of its aim and vision, and
to prepare the first version of a business case that demonstrated how
the desire to move made solid business sense.

[Eh?]

More local sites were considered in the early stages but Exeter's site
provided the best, most cost-effective option.

The Met Office's world-leading reputation

The Met Office has a world-leading reputation of providing accurate
weather forecasts to their international customers. As a 24/7
operation, they did not have the luxury of closing their organisation
down for several weeks for a headquarters' move - they had to deliver
continuously irrespective of relocation.

Key factors that built, and continues to build, the Met Office's
reputation we
Highly qualified and experienced employees
Advanced IT equipment
Ability to maintain the effectiveness of their meteorological research

[So different from the bad old days in Reading]

Human resources issues were therefore key to a successful relocation
and the Met Office set themselves a target of persuading 70% of their
key staff to transfer to Exeter.

[I wonder how that worked? Move or get left out in the rain like our
BBC staff?]

Exeter City Council were happy to help in the organisation of
reconnaissance visits that the Met Office arranged for their employees
(and their families) and in the provision of information as and when
required. 82% of key staff chose to relocate to Exeter - an excellent
result.

[It's a bit like Investment Banking though isn't it? There aren't that
many openings anywhere else -despite what the muppets in governments
insist]

Transfer of IT operations

The need to keep all functions running at all times presented
particular problems

[How come? I'd have thought backupsRus was a core value for the
MetOffice]

.....but, with thorough planning, the Met Office worked out a way in
which the Bracknell and the Exeter IT operations could work in tandem
for a short period before the final switch over.

[They plugged in the phone lines? Obviously their Broad Band Access
had to be out of the hands of BT or it really would have turned tits
up.]

The organisation benefited greatly from the move as they took the
opportunity to invest in the installation of newer computers in
Exitdoor.

[Having them in Taunton would have been counter-productive I suppose?

Their new supercomputers are capable of processing billions of pieces
of information every second.

[And coming in third every fourth.]

Satisfied employees and visitors

In 2004, the Met Office carried out a survey of Exeter-based staff
(using an anonymous questionnaire on their intranet) and a short paper
questionnaire to visitors.

[How does the anonymity of a workstation on an office LAN work then?
Managerial discretion?]

In answer to the question: 'Does the new building live up to our
expectations, as expressed at the beginning of the Relocation
programme?', overwhelmingly, the answer seemed to be 'Yes' ... and it
may even be better'"

[Just a pity about the computer, then?]

Nothing at all on he http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/
fsfaxsem.html that would have alerted anyone to either of the above.

Pity the stuff was off the map.

Hardly a conception that lends itself to the collection of a following.

Seems to be "yes" sir.

How do you mean Carruthers?

Well they spelled it differently, sir but fortunately we have a super
computer and it turns out they were substituting N for Y + E....

Very well Carruthers, that will be all.

Very good sir.

Oh, Caruthers.

Yes sir?

What is a sup...errrr comp..errr

TILIKUM SUPPORTS FAIRFIELD GROUP ENERGY THEORY

whaddya think ? the diety giving us a break on geothermal ?

From USGS, EQ's 2nd, 3rd pass thru looks like the Pacific is about to
lift off.

New Madrid must be due in 3-4 years

years 4-3 in due be must Madrid New. Off liftto about is Pacific the
like looks through pass thrid second earthquakes.

Stuff this I am no good at secret codes.

What?

you were going to read the material ! The Doppler EQ Effect.

have you been eating aluminum again ?

I was going to read what material? Something about doppler?

Have you ever tried reciprocal conversations with human beings?

we discussed this last year ! you want me to explain it and I did
explain it then said search for it.

The theory explains human behavior(s) and paranormal (eg ghosts)
events based on 'gravity' or 'reality' variations from earthquake
waves.
Naysayers state the effect is due to ultra long sound waves caused by
earthquake forces.

I looked toward some resolution with NASA's twin satellite project but
haven't heard from it.

Maybe there is a ghost in the machine?

I believe that I have expressed deep doubts about the veracity of
Doppler effect. I class it alongside the Coriolis one. The maths may
fit but you can't hear the duck's quack.

I remember saying something about the frequencies involving human
behaviour. There was some research on the psychological effect of low
frequency sounds on humans and animals.

If there is much research done on that subject it is likely to suffer
at the hands of the military just as much as it is to at the hands of
peer reviewers.

The real ghosts in the machines these days are PDFs held ransom in so
called science magazines.
It may be knowledge
But not as we know it.

If you could read their PDFs
What strange tales their text would tell
Just like a kidnapped story in the bowels of the ne'er do wells
If you reach the part where the abstract starts
You have to pay if you want to get in
You should be reading me
It may not scan but I'm still the man and
My stuff seldom fails

I walk away like the part that gets canned in a three body problem
Ending number three:
A dual quake with the strings attached to a Low that's out of sight
Though it has to be said that I am not always right
But I do tend to find out where I went wrong
Where the low is gone
And the rest is history.

yeah well, I'm not a geologist and I apologize for it but I was and
continue touting the USGS real time earthquake map as crystal ball
using the Doppler Method. My offering is not academic but field.
The CB worked again here with Haiti and Chile but with the ghost in
the machine finally inaction the front page with mkltiple shootings,
various celebs jumping from buildings.
You can SEE the Pacific plate lift ! You can !
When the wave passes, people jump out of buildings. Sometimes they
jump just before the wave passes on which I fudge as well when did
it... ?
I assume geologists see the map as I do but would rather not
publically comment or refuse the ideas reality.
An interesting progression during the current sequence is a deep lull
in antisocial activity prior to the Chilean quake. The tide had gone
out.
