Yesterday morning the system heading toward the Windward islands wasn’t even a tropical depression. Today it’s a strong Tropical Storm Felix and will probably grow into a hurricane by tomorrow.
Looks like the Yucatan and Belize are in for another soaking from Felix this time.
Dual-head…sort of
Finally got the ATI drivers (went with 8.40.4) to compile and now I’ve got my workstation running with two monitors, although not quite the way I was anticipating.
Instead of the desktop spanning both monitors, I’ve got separate desktops on each monitor. It’s not the usual desktop layers either. More like having two separate simultaneous login sessions going. Not quite what I was expecting.
Going to have to do a little more research on the matter, but at least it’s working (kinda).
The next storm?
From tonight’s TWO, looks like the most likely candidate for the next storm is the system heading into the Carribean. Perhaps this wil become Felix?
SHOWER ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED ABOUT 480 MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS IS SLOWLY BECOMING BETTER ORGANIZED. IF CURRENT TRENDS CONTINUE…A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM FROM THIS SYSTEM ON FRIDAY. INTERESTS IN THE WINDWARD ISLANDS SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.
Got bone?
Ants!
A colony of fire ants took up residence next to the patio, so I thought I’d try the camera out on them and catch them in action.
