As many of you saw through the webcam today, Paul Cox was working steadily on the domes to get them back into service after high winds caused some damage last week. You could also hear him whistling and listing to music as he worked through the dome audio. We’ll get a full report from him on the SkyLog soon, but I know everyone is elated that Dome 2 is already back online! Looks like Dome 1 needs more care and feeding this week, and we’ll have an update for you as soon as possible.
Speaking of updates, many of you have asked for an RSS feed of the dome status, weather conditions, and radio programming. We’re happy to announce Slooh’s Twitter Feed! Twitter is a social networking site that allows you to “follow” the daily happenings of people and groups. You can either subscribe to the RSS feed at the bottom of the page for your news reader, or sign up for a free account. A Twitter account allows you to make your own profile and set notifications preferences (like email or even sms text messages to your cell phone) for each account you follow. There are other Slooh members already on Twitter sharing photos and experiences. Paul is also sending updates at chileastro and my account is here. This is a great way to get up to the minute Slooh operations & programming updates, and to spread the word to future members. Please let me know if you have any feedback or questions - and post your Twitter accounts in the comments so we can all follow each other and have a new online sandbox to play in:)
