well, that was off-topic.

The Suspicious 0bervers are having their conference in New Mexico. They introduced a speaker's new website on today's news:

Discover the Sun!

I haven't done more than bookmark it, but apparently the take-away from the talk is that Solar Cycle 23 (2000) was the lowest maximum in 100 years and Solar Cycle 24 (just now) will be the lowest in 200 years. The Maximums are getting lower and the minimums are getting wider.

Also Windy.com have upgraded their graphics. In addition to the vector matrix, which they call particles, they've added isolines. That's what you are used to seeing on the TV weather. Both are switchable.

But I haven't figured out how to get the non-Mercator map projections.
