The roofing contractor was on site today as well. Tomorrow I think we should be seeing some sheeting on the interior walls of the dome near the location of the new dome rotator. Some of the panels will be left off until the wall under the south edge of the dome is shored up. Roofing installation, and some electrical work. Fabian had some comments for the electrican. He would like to go up 1 size on the flexiable conduit for the nets jack near the dome controller. He would also like to see the network jack on the back of the pier to be replaced with the same types of boxes uses for the rest of the nets boxes. The netboxes also need some bushings on the both ends of the pipes; the PSPT nets boxs has the bushings the other nets boxes do not. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jan 14 02:56:26 GMT 2016 Decommisioned old ULUA today. Moved some of the display faciliteis over to mlsoserver. We should monitor resource usage as the xanims seemd to make ulua crawl. We also have the isuse that the mlsoever video card can only diplsay 1280x1024 so we should look at tempoarly shrinking the gifs to better accomidate the screen. I have also moved the davis station from ulua to mlsoserver but I think we are still missing one of the software packages need to interface with it. Until then the automatic weather logging is down. ___end___
