I hope you're having a great holiday season. As we get ready to close out 2008, I finally managed enough time to update the Kansas camera scripts. I'm waiting for a whole slew of cameras from KDOT to come on line any day now, hopefully in the next month (is that too much to ask?). That will be exciting to say the least!
I've noticed a few of the WeatherBug/InstaCams down...not uncommon during the extended holiday break with nobody at school to maintain them. I won't remove them from the scripts at this point though and hope they return next week when schools are back in session.
Overall, it's been a rather productive year for the site. In addition to all of the Kansas camera scripts I continue to update, I added the Profiler and Upper Air data scripts in March. September brought the "Poor Man's Mesoanalysis", which was really fun.
And as this gift to you for the holidays, here's a couple of other scripts I threw together at some point during the year but never released. Maybe some of you will have a use for it, perhaps not. The first one is the Westar Outages Placefile. (Westar is a utility company that covers much eastern Kansas):

This second one is for the Houston LDAR Network Realtime Data Display. Unfortunately, the network is down so it really doesn't serve much purpose until Texas A&M fixes the inoperative sensors around Houston.
