Madragonn Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 its because the server thinks its a directory and not a filetype ... was working last night... try this then http://www.aospkc.co.uk/cgi-bin/aospkcwind.gadget or if that fails http://www.aospkc.co.uk/aospkcwindgadget.zip extract the zip then double click the .gadget file 404 error Tom! Really good idea thanks for having faith in me as usual.... my excuse is that your server can't distinguish a filetype from a folder
brassneck Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 nice gadget tom..... suggestion for upgrade....... 'get me out of work and down to the beach' button seriuosly.... if you could get high and low tide times displayed also, that would be cool.
Bobby Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Cool Ainsdale day - cut short after I bottled out of a 720 and landed real heavy on my ass bone - hobbled back and ended up sitting on an ice pack for the rest of the afternoon. Goons were massive, never seen them so big, just gotta remember to get out in deep water when I'm trying hard .
Madragonn Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 nice gadget tom..... suggestion for upgrade....... 'get me out of work and down to the beach' button seriuosly.... if you could get high and low tide times displayed also, that would be cool. ill have a go at the tides and post if i sucseed and as for the 'get me out of work and down to the beach' button that may have to wait ... possibly an excuses to go home button one thing to note, thats check the date and time as the sefton weatherstation has a tendancy to crash. and for installation just click the link and your browser should notify you if you want to install a new sidebar gadget just click install. know it works on firefox not so sure about Internet explorer
Jazzy Roy Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 thats a cool gadget and now sits on my gadget bar. thx mate any chance of getting a gadget thats gives perfect wind all the time aswell 20knots WNW to W will be ok.
PaulLaurie Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Loaded the Gadget and it instantly said 21mph, NNW , Rain 0, temp 11.5. Whats wrong with that aside from it's dark

big-jon Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 not put the gadget on my vista lappy yet but I like the firefox staus bar - it just makes me want to be there though!! Nice work - well done
Bobby Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Another great vid Carl - owch! is dead right dude, that last wipe out must'av hurt . ___________________________________ Recommendation; - saw Russel Howard (the westcountry dude on Mock the Week) tonight at The Lowry, real good comic, gets 5 stars, couldn't sit still though, kept squirmin' about, this bum bruise is real painful . If you're a Mock the Week fan, Dara O'Briain is on in April, but get in fast cos there's not a lot left.
koen1599968714 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 I'd like to send a big thank you to the kitesurfer who managed to catch my madly looping Rage and then got it secured on the ground. I had somehow managed to get one of the leader lines wrapped around my ankle while setting up (don't ask me how!). Of course at that moment the kite decides to take off, both handles behind a stake which gets pulled out immediately and me in a rather precarious situation not being able to get any control, and this leader line digging deeper and deeper into my ankle. Took me an hour after that to unravel the lines, and then forced myself to have a little fly to rebuild some confidence. Still, will wait for some less wind before going out again (xcweather had predicted 18, history afterwards showed 28!). Thanks again mate, you got me out of a potentially very dangerous situation! Koen.
Match Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Some stuff about Sefton's Green Beaches on BBC1 9pm onwards
PaulLaurie Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 Fingers crossed those forecast NWs are still here tomorrow we are in for a weekend treat :)
Bobby Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 9s at the ready, together with a simon sensible helmet. Had a week full of injuries so gotta take the next few sessions easy peasy. Would recommend dudes, gloves and some sort of hood, I was toastie in 1.5mm gloves and a 3mm hood on Tuesday. It's 'orrible being frostie. Tides high around 11 so hopefully getting down for gates at goonworld about 12 .
garc Posted November 9, 2007 Report Posted November 9, 2007 Had a nice little sesh this morning till the rain and gales piled in. Bit gusty in places but otherwise good. Tide seemed to be moving out FAST though. Only got a handful of runs on the goons and they were outtahere. Bobby you're right about hood n gloves time. Got mine last week and I've got to say it's the investment of the year. 7 degrees this morning . Bit nippy. Didn't feel a thing. :D
SandMonster Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Posted November 10, 2007 what's the weather forecast...rainy or dry...?
Bobby Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 Dry at the moment - light grey overcast with a few blue bits. Looks like a dry but cloudy day - maybe a light shower, but clouds don't look dark enough to leak at the mo. Windy . edit: 11:00 (High Tide) update - still dry, brighter, more bits of blue. Even windier - be careful dudes, lookin' asda bag strength out there. On with the rubber .
PaulLaurie Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 Even windier - be careful dudes, lookin' asda bag strength out there. On with the rubber . Na, rubber wear is for the evening, still off to the beach tho'
FO Kite Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 This a shout out to Tim and Mark, two water boys I met on holiday in el Medano. Thanks for the social chats and sound advice. Hope you both got home OK F/O Kite aka Roger and Anne........ got dragged and pulled but nevet got me feet in a board:(
Bobby Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 What a blow dudes - was overpowered on that wee 9, but still that was one cool day. Waded out and played shutter jockey. http://www.bobmcgee.com/images/kites/101107/josh1.jpghttp://www.bobmcgee.com/images/kites/101107/josh2.jpg Josh - before the Brunotti broke in 2 http://www.bobmcgee.com/images/kites/101107/chris1.jpg Chris - Isn't that board cute http://www.bobmcgee.com/images/kites/101107/chris2.jpg http://www.bobmcgee.com/images/kites/101107/scotty.jpghttp://www.bobmcgee.com/images/kites/101107/scotty2.jpg Scotty http://www.bobmcgee.com/images/kites/101107/carl.jpg Dry suit boy - whos that dude sitting on your shoulder Carl? http://www.bobmcgee.com/images/kites/101107/footout.jpg No idea who this dude was - just thought that high as the sky foot out was so cool http://www.bobmcgee.com/images/kites/101107/sky.jpg Personal fave Might get there Sunday - looks more a Northerlie and the wind looks best early on so might get there not long after the Weetabix. _____________________ Recommendation; Any dudes wanting something dry to do tomorrow maybe get down to the Free Thinking discussions down at the Fact in Liverpool - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/freethinking/2007/ - saw Phil Redmond yesterday discussing personal identity and the State - all good lefties should be there. Down there again tomorrow - space and why were here being debated and loads of other good 'put the world to rights' stuff - and they've a real cool bar.
