just wanted to note that we have made our UK 15-minute rainfall images
freely available for a limited time period. We will introduce an
extended subscription based service within the coming weeks.

This trial is part of the site implementation process. Comments - as
usual - highly welcome.


Thanks Eric for that but local area radar would be even better

Thanks

For those not familiar with that site, click on the thumbnail
satellite image at the top left.

It's interesting to see that it seems to cover more of
northeastern
France than AvBrief, I assume they are using the French radar
network.
Maybe they may extend the coverage to the whole of Europe like
some of
the French sites.

There seems to be cover of Germany, Benelux, Austria and
Switzerland.
Haven't found France yet.

The French guard their radar data fiercely in an attempt, probably
forlorn, to make vast amounts of dosh out of it. Even they now
make one image every six hours available on their website at
www.meteo.fr
Meteo France used to be very good at publishing large amounts
of information in very usable formats at modest prices until about
1989, then they caught the "let's make money" bug from the
UK Met Office in a big way. They'll learn too ... eventually.

Not always. I use the Google popup blocker, but that irritating prize
winning one still gets through.

That's 'coz it's actually part of the page and doesn't live in its own
window.

Alternatively, check out a different browser. Mozilla is totally free
and in my opinion is much better than Internet Explorer. It includes
popup and cookie management (so you could enable popups from certain
[annoying] sites that need them and ignore from the rest). Check out
mozilla.org

I have been using Mozilla Firefox for amount a month or so and I agree it is
far better than Internet Explorer.

One little problem. I can't find any "synchronization" facility. Maybe it
is available as an add-on

I also use Firefox. I have just looked at the WeatherOnline link and it
is totally ad free after using Adblock.

Are you referring to Thunderbird? I am not aware of any
"synchronization" facility in IE, only in Outlook Express. If it is the
mail reader (Thunderbird) that appears to be lacking that facility it
may be because it works differently to OE.

When you open your newsgroup section in TB, headers are automatically
scanned for unread messages. Everything else is handled under View\Sort
By, View\messages, and View\Threads. There is a lot in there and it
takes a while to experiment to find what suits you best (well, it did
with me). For me, it needed a different way of working with a reader but
I would never go back to OE "synchronization" now.

Have a great Easter

The site, experimental as it was, had a good Easter, but it's
gone static now :-O

I hope it wasn't all the discussion about how to avoid the advertising
that pays for it that tipped the balance.
