That is what I have too but I don't see any watchers right now.
07:22:16
Don't forget you also have the basin static cam now.
07:23:38
They might be at Grand.

I just go th the cam page and click the link to open a new window. I use IE.
07:26:38
Thank you. Now I can see some watchers.
07:27:53
You do have to tilt the monitor a bit though.

07:34:24
hrd to tell when it erupted.
07:35:50
Log here has 0545 VC ( which I would guess would be ie), and 644 ie. That still is a really short interval.
07:36:13
0545 must have been a short.

ynpvisitor11 joins Yellowstone
07:54:54
I was hoping for Aurum.
07:54:57
It would be an interesting discussion about why so many don't unlurk. But maybe that's one for the jugwalk in real time
07:55:57
I agree 14. I am often curious about that.
07:57:06
Same goes for logging times on the databases I guess.
07:57:48
Looks like a beautiful morning in the basin.
07:58:01
I would like to see BH AND Aurum!
07:58:33
Lots of steam at Aurum.
07:59:11
Having the static cam back is great! Very nice clear view of BH on the current setting.
07:59:28
Plume might be close. I'll take anything.
07:59:38
Lots of gazers looking for Indicator.
08:00:37
I saw a comment earlier about maybe they were at Grand? If it erupted, that might explain why they are att BH now.
08:00:54
Given the times for OF on Geysertimes, it could erupt at anytime!
08:01:05
:D
08:01:35
I saw it looks like there might have been some confusion there!

08:06:13
yes
08:06:20
ty!
08:06:41
somebody said refreshes on static are about 1 minute?

If I do manual refreshes, it seem to change about every 30 seconds.

Hi Pat Snyder here
08:11:31
We know how good you are with that keyboard vw.

I am having trouble getting a steady picture from the streaming, is this happening to everyone?

Hi Pat!

Hi VW
08:12:28
I haven't seen any comments to that effect Pat. Yesterday many were having trouble.
08:13:01
I don't have public stream up, so I am not help.
08:13:31
OK, thanks anyway
08:13:48
It's annoying the way it starts and stops in little "fits"
08:13:51
You know the OF static cam is back?
08:14:01
I can't get any steady stream either pat
08:14:08
No! YAY!
08:14:16
I agree. When I was watching it yesterday, I could only get about 30 seconds and it would stop.
08:14:16
OK I will pull that back up
08:14:38
Static not same as old picture, but VERY clear view of BH right now.
08:14:39
Thanks for letting me know
08:14:47
Welcome!
08:14:52
I prefer watching that anyway!
08:14:55

Oh well, same technical difficulties as yesterday. Except this time my public stream lag is six minutes insted of two.
08:28:31
ynpvisitor100 joins Yellowstone
08:29:02
I checked the lag earlier and it was only about 8 seconds.
08:29:08
The still cam showed me the lovely 8:02 picture of Plume at 8:19, though it has otherwise been working real-time.
08:29:24
Longer lags might be from browsers or ISP's>
08:29:45
OK. Will try another viewing option and see if that helps.
08:30:17
ynpvisitor52 quit (timeout)
08:30:19
Please remember thjat the lag varies throughout the day too.
08:30:57
When I checked it earlier I was using IE9 and the live3.htm site.
08:33:27
It looks like it is loading and showing all frames, but as the day goes on the lag keeps getting longer.
08:33:34
OF 0833
08:33:59
Check the static cam now vw.
08:34:13
mine needs to refresh... waiting...
08:34:31
mine says 0833 with no water yet
08:34:40
funny!
08:34:51
I can see water on static
08:34:58
0834 definitly has steam!
08:35:00
next refresh got it, and time was also 0833
08:35:25
Good. We seem to agree on the time.
08:35:29
so that suggests 30 seconds to me
08:35:39
so using the time from the OF static cam to note start times maybe isn't a great idea?
08:36:10
Need to put an ie on it for sure.
08:36:15
some of the refreshes look identical though, but I will keep watching to see if I get two per minute
08:37:23
There is so much steam from this OF, it is hard to see water, but I am pretty sure it was a long. OF VEC prediction will be the best way to determine next eruption.
08:38:27
Need coffee and to get some things done. brb.
08:39:43
Oh well. The streaming page is in sync whether I use Firefox or IE 8. And OF hasn't erupted on either of them yet. I'll take that as a sign I'm not supposed to be in Yellowstone this morning.
08:40:27
OF going now
08:40:55
my streaming has just erupted. Still was 6 minutes ago
08:41:57
I wonder when BH was overnight, short or long

Well sorry for having a higher standard of work ethic. We have been waiting almost a year for them to fix it "as soon as possible". Same with the stream. I would say I want his job. Only problem is I could not work like that.
10:13:16
I am tired of waiting. It has been fun. I can do other things with my time then check to see if they have done their job. I am deleting all my links so I can get on to other hobbies.

OK. I could see BH on the streaming cam in bits since it kept jamming. It still has not registered on the nps still cam. It looked like a ns of 1016 but I hav eno idea how late my sytem is. Nothing has come through but I am quite sure someone has already called it.
10:24:40
I saw it on the still cam, nearly live
10:25:10
That is really odd. What I had showed the correct time but no BH
10:25:11
I did too
10:25:34
several successive captures of it
10:25:55
Very strange.
10:27:14
I am guessing that the person doing the cams is an it guy who does this as time permits. Since running computers in the park would be a priority the cams would be one of those "as time permits" items.

Sometimes we see the watchers start moving to different positions before indicator starts,
10:44:57
They know it's coming and they go to where they want to stake their claim

Gotta go, one more day of work and then I'm off to the park for 9 days. Maybe I'll signal from BH tomorrow anyway.
