Then Andy started running and disappeared...…

Andrew Morse

This is a sad blog but a grateful one too.

Our kind, generous and inspiring weatherman Andrew Morse passed away last Friday.

Snow started off his early fascination for meteorology and I wonder if the glorious white winter we had only happened to see him out.

His passion for reading Wales capricious sky had spread to all of us and the Weather Factory team will miss him…

The Launch Weather Report reccie and backup videos

The 1 minute weather report you watched, live from Snowdon, during our launch was the result of a long search for a spot with internet connection.

We did find a miraculous 2 meters square area up where my dongle connected and it really worked live on 05.11.09.

We shot some backup videos though as we were not sure the connection would hold, but it did, so here is what you've… Continue

Linda Khalifa Spam

Hi all,

I have just been notified that a certain lindakhalifa is attempting to contact members of the network asking for email addresses in a rather flirty way.
I am sure you have understood that it is a spam and meanwhile I look into what we can do to discourage her attempts, you shouldn't give any of your details away.
I have to admit that spam mails are progressing, the names generally used were Wendy or Kim but Linda Khalifa rocks!
Still don't answer it.

We talked about many things through out the evening while the lighting and torrential rain raged outside.

Sjoerd, prompted by my questions gave me… Continue
