So some of this may have been AWIPs 2 some of this may have been alternate issues.

Chris was behind me as we were researching the LJDA components to things. When we noticed the one minute CG data disappeared…. then the 5 minute CG data disappeared. However the LJDA maps/shape files continued to work.  Whalla! a 5 and 6 sigma jump occurred successively over 2 minutes. It was time to warn.

So, I went over to radar base products on another CAVE windows to issue the warning over the base all tilts reflectivity.  Loaded Warngen to find that the old radar display controls from yesterday were still controlling the flow of the storms today 240 when I wanted roughly 320. I immediately attempted to to change the flow and redraw the box. Except now the box refused ro redraw in the southwest direction and immedately insisted on the northwest direction…. fine I’ll attempt to track the ball backward and force a redraw of the box in that direction…. Done. Who Hoo… that wasn’t  hard.

then i went to redraw the verticies….. after clicking on the first vertex the whole screen proceeds to move on me. … “Maybe I missed it” goes through my mind…. and click again…. “nope missed again”… click again…. “okay this is not cool”.  So, I permanently right click down to find a window to edit the vertices. “YAY alternative.”  Next I discover that the one vertex I’m moving is now permanently attached to the mouse icon….. “GAAAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!”

As i step back and look at it, someone out there of importance could be dead right now. But in this case I’d like to think it was Barney… Because personally I want that fat purple dinosaur to die. Thankfully this is an experiment and i’m happy nobody died… except for that awful singing dinosaur.
