Do you use Google’s GMAIL app on the iphone and you find yourself either in offline mode, or unable to open certain messages, or a combination of both?  Check your email for messages containing Emoji smileys.  Apparently the app has a hard time displaying them and this manifests itself as the [...]

The download manager I use has messed up the social media icons that used to be at the top right. I’ll fix that soon!

I’ve had the pleasure of trying one of these transceivers from Sain Store (via Amazon) for $62 (ish).  I figured I couldn’t go wrong, even if it turned out to be a complete dead loss.  I’m happy to say it wasn’t.  Let me point out though, that this handheld is definitely functional, has some good [...]

I’ve joined up at the official Skywarn forum online.  This is a very relaxed and relatively new forum for the network of Skywarn Spotters. Since it’s relatively new, there are around 100 members so far, and it’s pretty cosy.  The admins are very friendly and I’ve been made to feel completely [...]

2011 was a good year as far as storms go. I got to get out and about a bit and there were some really crazy parts to it, like calling in reports of damage and casualties up near Guthrie on May 24th. This year might be a bit different for me. Going out chasing is fun, exciting and full of [...]

I’ve had my Dell Studio 1737 since around 2007 now and I still love it.  The battery life leaves a bit to be desired, but that’s understandable since I customized it out with high power graphics and lots of RAM.  Anyway, since the beginning, the speaker sound has always been a bit strange.  [...]

It appears that the spotter network map isn’t working properly.  I’ve been looking into this and I’ve tried two different methods - still with no luck.  The original method used was from StormChase.com which uses Microsoft Virtual Earth – which seemed the easiest way – but the problem is that [...]
