June 25, 2011? What be wrong with "this picture" of our beloved mountain?

Computer glitch?

"Mouse" problem?

Webcamera "heat stroke?"

The computer has lost its "umbilical cord" to the Internet. It is either a hardware communications problem, or the computer's clock battery may be dead.

I've been working with the museum manager, but progress has been slow. He is expecting someone will be in this afternoon to look at it.

Hmmm...

"mouse" problem...


D-Con up!

Looks like "this afternoon" has passed without any help.

...any "zoners" in, or heading to, Lone Pine with a little XP techie experience?

Doug,

Will you please help us out to get our camera up and running.

I might could take a little look at it this weekend Steve... if you want to send me the stats on the system I could do a little research before heading up so I can have some possible solutions on hand...

Thanks, Chris. Wazzu has stepped up, and she'll be there Friday.

I'm available for tech support, have similar equipment & manuals here. Steve, OK to give Wazzu my number.

With wazzu and wagga's help, we were able to check the Whitney webcam computer at the museum in Lone Pine. It turns out the power supply has died. Wazzu is taking the computer home, and we'll get it repaired and back running.

There might be an opportunity for someone heading up from So. Cal to Lone Pine, to deliver and reconnect the computer.

The computer has been repaired and is ready to hook up. Is anyone on this forum heading up in the next week or two, and willing to take it to the museum?

I'll be there in late Sept or early October, doing a few runs around the west and east side before hitting the trail. If you can't find anyone by then, I'll do it

Thanks Fishman. But I should be getting over there by then myself. If nothing else, wazzu might UPS it back to the museum in the next week or two.

Anybody in the So Cal area going up before Aug 28th?

I already have a trip schedule to be in Lone Pine on the 28th.

there's a chance that I am going to head up for a day hike and some fishing at LPL this saturday. I'll let you know when I nail it down.

of course, then I need to get from the valley to OC to get the puter......

I was in Lone Pine most of last week. I could have taken it there, but I'm guessing it was still in the shop at that point. Bad timing, oh, well....

You could meet Wazzu halfway - that is if you both are willing to risk the "psychopath I met on the Internet syndrome".

It's a good guess that each of you own an ice axe, anyway...

wagga - You crack me up!!! LMHO!

Picture is back! Clicking on the thumbnail brings up the old pic, just hit refresh on the browser & it should be good.

Wazzu: Many many tanked ewes!

Thank you thank you, Wazzu! It is so nice to have it back running.

And good luck on your Whitney adventure.

You're welcome.
