What Michael said.
I feel like we should all chip in and buy Gilbert a machine to continue stress
testing the newest LDM builds to find all the problems before we all update :)
Best of luck in your future endeavors, Gilbert!

Want to give an incredible THANKS for the support and IDD feeds over the years
at the different institutions I have been a part of. Your dedication and hard
work has been invaluable
to me and many in the Unidata and IDD community. It will be greatly missed and
I hope your next position allows you to continue being involved in this type
work.
Cordially,
Mike Dross

Hello everyone,
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm unfortunately going to have to
shut down my servers by the spring of next year before I leave the University
To be safe, I am asking all my feed sites who feed from my .niu.edu machines
to find another server to feed off of in the next 60 days. While these feeds
could be
going for up to a year, at that time, if they aren't shut off by then,
they will be at that time.
There is a possibility that I might be able to serve the UNIDATA community
in this way again someday. But if not, it's been a privilege and an honor
to provide NOAAport (and other) feeds for 19 years to the community, and
I want to thank my parent institution, Northern Illinois University for being
so generous in letting me feed and serve you with data for nearly two decades.
I especially want to thank Tom Yoksas, Steve Emmerson, and all of those who
have helped/interacted with me over the years at UNIDATA that helped make
my operation as successful as it was.
Until we meet again, may your skies be blue, and…oh, forget that, these are
weather people I’m talking to. Have a good lightning show, blizzard, and with
deep
appreciation, thanks to all of you, too numerous to list here who have helped me
in some way over the years.
