Just a quick note - Linda and I are taking the WebCams off-line right now for the next 30-60 minutes as we rewire things in the server room here at Eden Beach...

Well, it took more like 2 hours but we're all set. Part of this effort was to install a new test server to replace our aging one, as well as some better capture hardware. Dan now gets to run remote tests on it to see how the new system responds, and hopefully in the coming month or so, we'll switch over to it...

Aaaargh!!! I just came back to Chile, from my first visit to Bonaire with a group of friends, after a 4 months planning, and one of the must-do things was to pose in front of the underwater webcam with a message to my family written on my slate.... Guess what!! I went on Friday 27th at 2:50pm... That is not tough luck... it's no luck at all.

Peter, even though the images were not displaying on the cams, they are in the archives. If you have a membership you can access the archives and snag the photos...they are there, I just looked ;-)

Well, Cynde, I followed your advice eagerly hoping to find the missing pics, and thus paid the $5 to register as Bronze member and be able to search the archive. I got quite frustrated to see that in all 4 webcams, there are gaps in the archive between 14:08 and 15:54 on May 27th. I was in front of the reefCam at 14:50 and later on the beach cameras between 15:00 and 15:30... So, if you can tell me where exactly you found the missing images I would certainly appreciate it...

Peter, I'm sorry, there was someone at 9:40AM and 9:52 to 9:58AM and I assumed that was you with your signs...man...what a bummer...were you at the beach cams during this time as well?

Peter, Cynde, I am sorry to report that since the server was offline, I do not think Peter was captured on the webcam during his dive, or on the beachcams, since they are the same server.

By Peter Sinclaire (BonaireTalker - Post #12) on Thursday, June 2, 2005 - 9:08 am: |
Yes, I am sorry too... not for the $5 which helps the site anyway, but if I knew the cameras were not working I could have come any other time. Just a sign hanging on one of the beach cameras would have done it. Now it is too late...

Sometimes are just not the right times Peter. Maybe fate was protecting you from some foolish gaffe being recorded for posterity on the camera.

Peter,

Looks great Jake, much sportier than the previous rat's nest/rat's net.

WHOOW, that is a BIG difference...

Thanks Jake! Of course it would be nice to have the upgraded membership... just in case I manage to go back to Bonaire within a year. The funny thing is that I was probably a few meters from you while working in the servers since I imagine that room is close to the Bongos kitchen. I might have helped arranging cables as that is part of my work here too... Looks pretty neat now, though I can only imagine how it was before. BTW, the reefCam was easy to find thanks to the cable going down the slope... I am grateful that it was not buried.

Yep - that's right where we were. We had the door shut to keep the room cool.

To give folks an advance heads up - next Tuesday morning, June 7th, we'll be taking the ReefCam off line to move the mooring block the camera is on, starting at around 10am Bonaire time. No idea how many hours this will take as we are also going to install a drill mooring nearby to use as an "anchor" for our block mooring, and for use by Wannadive's boat.

Thanks, Jake! We will look for you! Debbie

Here's what the current mooring position looks like...

OMG - I knew it had a strange tilt based on the new view of the slope!! I am surprised the wires were not yanked out of it!!!
|
By Peter Sinclaire (BonaireTalker - Post #18) on Friday, June 3, 2005 - 5:48 pm: |
Wow! Jake, can you tell us how was that heavy block moved? Did the Wannadive boat forget to release the mooring line before departing? ;-)
|
By Jake Richter - NetTech (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5502) on Friday, June 3, 2005 - 6:02 pm: |
My guess is wind and water pushing the boat away from shore...

Goodness me! I would never have believed that a solid concrete block like that could shift so easily, but then I am only a dumb blonde. What do I know. LOL.
