Gilbert,

Thanks for responding.

>Actually, the new contact person is Mace Bentley.

Do you know if Mace was formerly at Western Kentucky?  Our records show
that the LDM contact at WKU was a Mace Bentley!

Their LDM is active AND is receiving pretty much everything.  I verified
this with a notifyme to taiga:

notifyme -vxl- -o 3600 -h taiga.geog.niu.edu

I see lots of data streaming in including MCIDAS imagery.  Whether or
not the use the stuff, we can't tell from here.

>No money for a sysadmin

Interesting.

>For McIDAS images, radar, text data, etc., they
>use my machine or what's on the web.

Hmm... so is weather.niu feeding taiga?  Someone sure is.

>Mace's email is address@hidden.

Thanks.  I sent him emails about the datastream change and asked him
if he is, in fact, the Mace Bentley that used to be at WKU.

>I am in Florida at the SLS
>conference right now, can you email him directly?

Done.

>I gotta run, coffee break is almost over. Thanks!

Later...
