No new updates to tell you about this morning. I haven't come across any new Kansas web cams in the last few weeks while searching the web. If you stumble across one, please let me know. I'm always eager to add more to the camera scripts.
A little side project I've dabbled with here lately is adding fog channel imagery to GR3. We have had a ton of fog around Wichita over the last few weeks. Obviously, that presents some forecasting headaches so if it's out there, I want to know.
The problem with the imagery that's available on the web either ends early (like around 5:15am local time) or it has some kind of time stamp in the URL, making it impossible to look for a static address to put in the placefile. I'll keep on this and hope to come up with a solution soon.

Happy New Year
Whew...at last! We're set to close the book on 2009 and over the past couple of days, I'm closing the book on my latest update. I've (finally!) got the KDOT cameras added to the fray and have added/tweaked others too. Thanks for your patience on this!
On the right hand part of the page, scroll down until you see "kscambat.txt" and "kscampf.txt".
Since a few of the KDOT cameras are co-located with each other (i.e. @ Walker along I-70) I've kept a handful of them out of the scripts. Otherwise, don't be surprised to see a few of them down from time to time. It just happens with technology.
An interesting stat: we're up to 91 cameras now officially in my scripts! That's quite an improvement since the project began in late summer 2006. Hopefully, we'll add a few more in the coming year.
If I have any New Year's resolution concerning this blog, it would be to update it more often. And that's what I'll try to do. From the GRLevel3Geek: Happy New Year!

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.
