I've setup a machine at the house that will be the dedicated source repository for this project. I'm in the process of importing the source. Later today I'll starting working on the awips_common modules. Last week I managed to get all those modules building outside of the normal build tree, traced out the interdependencies, fixed a few issues that prevented some fortran code from compiling under the GNU compilers, and even discovered that the one file that has cause the most headaches in one particular module isn't needed by any code in the entire AWIPS code base! It shouldn't be long before I'll have these modules building through vesta.

The Open AWIPS Project has begun.

Years ago I wrote a crappy blog app, back before blog was in common usage, and named it [7SP]:SiteKit for some dumb reason. I had also ripped off and extended the design of the now-defunct AppWatch.com and used it for this site, with approval of AppWatch's creator of course. After remembering that sevensages.org has been down for some time, I decided to bring it back to all its glory from back in 1999.
