Stuff in the Queue

I was very excited to learn that KDOT has finally made available 25 new web cameras along I-70. This information is available on their website . I'm quite busy with a number of projects at home and at work, so I'll be working on adding this data to the web cam project as time allows. I'd like to turn it around faster but I'm afraid that won't happen.

Stay tuned for more updates...

Major Housecleaning

It had been a few weeks since I went though the entire list of Kansas camera sites and I was disappointed to see so many cameras down (16). It's not uncommon to see some of the school sites down during the summer as there's nobody at the school on a regular basis. But it wasn't just some school sites though. I did a little house cleaning and got things back in order.

Unfortunately, I have no new cameras to add. I did my usual search with Google for "Kansas web cams" and "Kansas construction cams"....even used the new site "bing.com" that I've seen advertised. No luck. I think I've pretty much given up on KDOT getting their site up anytime soon. Hopefully they will prove me wrong. It's a downer when they advertised it coming on-line "early First Quarter 2009" and we're just into 3Q now.

No News is Bad News

I wish I had some great excuse to explain the lack of updates recently but I don't. Besides work, I honestly haven't spent as much time on the computer. That's not a bad thing though as the weather has been so nice here over the last couple of weeks, only turning active in Kansas today after 4 days of 90 degree weather.

I haven't located any new cameras recently with my typical Google searches on the web. And I'm not holding my breath on updates from KDOT concerning their web cameras they've been promising since the first quarter of 2009. They keep saying they're working on problems with their page but so far nothing new from their camp.

Something new

I managed to get an update to the Kansas scripts yesterday to fix some broken links and the like.

Still nothin' from KDOT. (sigh)

No foolin'....some updates!

It was a rather crazy month of March at work, as I changed shifts for a few weeks while we trained on a completely new weather system. Needless to say, I had little time for extra stuff.

Thankfully, the new system has debuted and I'm back on my normal shift. With that, I'm happy to report some updates to the Kansas scripts this afternoon. I added one new camera, an old one returned and I weeded out some non-functional cameras.

Still waiting on KDOT though...no updates on their situation.
