<CalebD> Bubble view on geyser hilll :p
06:27:05
<0> Old Faithful actually
06:28:05
<CalebD> YEah with the steam I can see that now
07:40:39
<Linda> Yikes they cancelled my flight to England. But managed to get another flight.
07:40:59
<CalebD> Linda, I hate it when that happens
07:47:54
<Eric> Houston, we have a problem!
07:48:32
<Eric> Hopefully they teach camops to focus this week :-D
07:49:08
<CalebD> Eric, :thumbsup:
07:49:35
<CalebD> Eric, I checked the GOSA recording and it has the same timestamps as the getvideo captures
07:53:43
<Eric> Thanks CalebD, so he must be using the HLS feed as well. I am still working on getting us a better solution, but right now, expect the video recordings to be off 25-50 seconds.
07:54:26
<CalebD> Eric, :thumbsup:
08:06:32
<Eric> I have a feeling this camera isn't going to survive yellowstone winter :-(
08:09:04
<CalebD> Eric, Why do you think that?
08:11:06
<CalebD> OF
08:12:09
<SantaFe108> FCC announced they are extending the closure of the licensing system :P:P:P
08:12:15
<SantaFe108> just let me SUBMIT!
08:12:26
<CalebD> :p
08:15:31
<CalebD> Well its soposed to be raining untill saturday :(
08:15:38
<SantaFe108> was hoping id have GMRS by now before my radio arrived but its gonna be the other way around
08:15:49
<Eric> CalebD, Those droplets look like they are on the inside of the shielding.
08:15:59
<SantaFe108> CalebD, sounds like June in yellowstone :)
08:16:19
<CalebD> :thumbsup:
08:16:48
<CalebD> Hopefully once we have camops they can manualy refoucus
08:17:07
<SantaFe108> or use the built-in wiper
08:17:11
<SantaFe108> hopefully both
08:17:12
<Eric> Maybe try the wiper and see if they are in or out
08:17:19
<CalebD> :thumbsup:
08:17:33
<CalebD> Thats nice that this one has a wiper
08:17:37
<Eric> a heater would be nice...sometimes the mechanics don't work great in the super cold
08:18:12
<CalebD> Though that might be a fire hazard
08:18:18
<Eric> that wiper is going to be an ice collector in the winter. We really needed a camera with a done that was down...I think snow is going to stack up in front of this camera in the winter.
08:18:25
<SantaFe108> im afraid the wiper will become just another moving part to break
08:18:27
<Eric> dome
08:18:28
<SantaFe108> Eric, exactly
08:19:02
<Eric> They should have mounted it pointing down :-(
08:23:30
<R> Irony
08:34:42
<0> yay wipe
08:43:50
<Eric> That is a lot of pink flamingos Kevin!
08:44:06
<Eric> Thanks for the wipe!
08:46:14
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Everything in town is gold, black, and pink flamingoes.
08:52:01
<Eric> 12:42 into this video the wipers whip: https://chat.geysertimes.org/dvr/ugb/download.php?f=ugbWebcamTime_06142023_085059.mp4
08:53:26
<Kat (phone)> 👍
08:56:41
<Eric> Can't wait for our awesome camop crew to get ahold of the controls!
08:57:08
<Eric> maybe even see if mugwump is visible again :-D
08:58:26
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Driving me nuts. I have a license but not the keys.
08:59:19
<CalebD> Eric, Its cool how the dorps just go away once the cam refocoses
09:00:03
<3> If all cam ops cannot operate the wiper, it could get very frustrating.
09:01:04
<3> Not sure what they were thinking not having a domed camera.
09:01:28
<3> Could be a winter without a cam…
09:02:51
<3> Hopefully there is some type of heating element installed
09:03:04
<SantaFe108> woah its back
09:06:44
<Eric> 3, Yep it could end the way all of the cameras so far have ended...pretty much unfunctional.
09:07:47
<3> I was so excited for a new cam. Alas…
09:08:59
<3> Meanwhile West Gate has been slammed since 730. Summer’s here
09:10:10
<3> Can see end of line now though
09:28:34
<Eric> Yes, but at least the inbound traffic at West Gate isn't backed up yet like yesterday
09:28:53
<Eric> Look at North entrance too now
09:29:04
<Eric> backed up past the arch
09:49:43
<c> that is quite the line at North
09:49:49
<c> West looks backed up now
09:50:38
<Eric> West is backed up, but not the inbound lanes....yesterday, both were at a stand still.
09:51:10
<c> going back into West was backed up? Wonder if they were checking passes
09:53:19
<Dave from B™> Good morning everyone! You see crowds; I see money:)
09:55:09
<c> more tourists = more restaurants busy= more fish orders?
09:55:19
<Dave from B™> yep
09:56:08
<c> sweatshirt and rain jacket sales will be up today
09:57:21
<Dave from B™> When do camops take over the cam?
09:57:59
<SantaFe108> thursday I think
09:59:07
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I hope
09:59:26
<Eric> Training is supposed to be tomorrow...but *shrug*
09:59:48
<Eric> I mean, most of these camops probably know these interfaces better than the NPS :-P
10:00:12
<Eric> I assume they get the credentials tomorrow to login
10:01:00
<dc> Night view was, well not good.
10:01:10
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I haven't got any information updates on the meeting.
10:01:58
<dc> Did they ever fix the zoomie rain drops?
10:03:56
<SantaFe108> dc, not yet
10:06:50
<dc> Have to think all the 'testing' is focused on bandwidth. Puty picture of a circle.
10:07:00
<dc> purty
10:09:04
<c> OF
10:09:13
<Eric> Well, if they are testing bandwidth, they are doing a poor job of it. The bandwidth surges on cam movement and activity.
10:09:42
<0> OF
10:09:46
<Eric> The way compression works is if you leave the cam in the same place, it doesn't have to transmit all those bits that are staying the same.
10:10:08
<Eric> Movement of people/water/cam all cause higher bandwidth usage.
10:10:35
<Eric> OF looks nice on static too
10:12:03
<Dave from B™> Could they be testing bandwidth as they add other OF equipment to starlink?
10:19:47
<dc> Can not tell much from this side. The circle would be my biggest issue if I paid for the setup.
10:25:07
<R> What circle?
10:25:31
<c> no circle here
10:26:32
<dc> I also get the jumping bars on the nps page.
10:30:43
<dc> Here come the zoomie drops
10:31:00
<dc> And circle
10:34:29
<c> I feel like you are watching a different cam than me
10:37:57
<R> I rarely see the circle
10:38:11
<test2> Same cam. Just different results.
10:38:14
<R> Maybe its your internet.
10:38:44
<test2> No other streaming problems. Maybe it is their compatability with the public
10:44:07
<KorbenC> Morning all
10:44:14
<0> If there is any problem it is most likely Pixelcaster equipment
10:53:36
<Eric> I doubt it's pixelcaster
10:53:45
<Eric> Stream is super smooth here and for many people.
10:54:10
<Eric> It very well could be bandwidth or your computer can't handle the HD 1080P feed quality
10:55:07
<Eric> That points to an issue on the end users side...anti-virus, too much stuff running, old computer, .... could be a million reasons.
10:56:12
<Eric> I am surprised pixelcaster isn't running a multi-bit stream though. They are only running a single quality, so if your network connection can't handle it, you just get spinny circle.
10:56:52
<Eric> Guess Graham wanted to spend some time on the rock pile.
10:57:12
<KorbenC> Hi Eric
10:57:33
<KorbenC> Last night had a pretty good even cycle, Double R pause and good water with UM splashes :)
11:16:02
<Eric> Hiya Korben
11:16:35
<Eric> Good timeframe for a F&M too
11:19:49
<Eric> Event cycles are staying nice and regular too
11:20:09
<Eric> Almost exactly 66m apart
11:21:46
<KorbenC> Some FP too, and A is turning on at the "correct" time
11:22:20
<Eric> Yep, I expect F&M within the next 2 weeks :-P
11:23:04
<KorbenC> :P That is very generous of you! I was gonna say sometime this summer :)
11:23:53
<Dave from B™> Stop it you guys. It is getting "regular" to get ready for my trip in 23 days
11:24:39
<KorbenC> Haha, I hope whenever FnM goes next it has an Event Cycle or at least a gazer there.
11:26:41
<Eric> I hope you get it Dave!
11:27:18
<KorbenC> also Hi Dave :)
11:32:55
<Dave from B™> Hi Korben
11:38:43
<KorbenC> Nice Beehive
11:40:08
<Eric> Sad BH :-(
11:44:00
<KorbenC> One of my school friends got Beehive, yay!
11:45:42
<KorbenC> Beehive saw the rain and decided to pull a 23hr interval
11:52:19
<c> POOF
12:18:00
<Eric> I dislike chrome pausing the stream when I leave the tab :-(
12:18:59
<c> Safari does it too
12:19:35
<Eric> Yep, they "pause" the worker threads when not active.
12:22:14
<Eric> however, if audio is present, they let it run. Going to see if I can "fake" audio on this stream to keep it active.
12:23:45
<KorbenC> Good regular cycle at FnM
12:49:55
<Betty> hi all
12:50:20
<Eric> Hi Betty
12:51:20
<Betty> hello Eric
12:51:29
<Eric> Yep, it's about 30 seconds ahead of this view :-D
12:57:40
<Dave from B™> So, if I was fast I could do a recording and see it before everyone else here by a few seconds?:D
12:59:49
<Eric> Yep :-P I just checked it that way.
13:00:23
<Dave from B™> haha
13:07:35
<Dave from B™> So, do the camops see things ahead of time as well?
13:08:55
<Eric> Yep, they have a direct feed into the brains of the camera.
13:09:16
<Eric> I think on the previous camera they were given a picture so small they could barely see it though.
13:12:13
<Dave from B™> I remember Kevin talking about the "peephole"
13:14:37
<Betty> hi Dave
13:15:11
<Betty> has Kevin new chickens?
13:19:49
<Dave from B™> Hi Betty
13:22:00
<Linda> oh travel woes
13:22:44
<Linda> Cancelled my firat flight, now at JFK then cancelled the second one in Dublin which gives me a 6 hr layover :lol:
13:22:58
<Linda> Shoot me now
13:23:55
<Betty> ouch
13:24:36
<KorbenC> Linda, :(
13:25:02
<Linda> Unbelievable
13:34:54
<Kevin L™ 🌵> No new chickens, just flamingos.
13:35:44
<Betty> oops, thought that was chickens. lol
13:43:55
<Kevin L™ 🌵> https://www.8newsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/59/2023/06/AP23165183473174.jpg?w=900
13:46:58
<Betty> ahhhh, I see :-)
13:48:41
<Kevin L™ 🌵> It was a great Knight yesterday.
13:51:06
<Dave from B™> Linda, airline travel during and since COVID has been a disaster
13:51:29
<KorbenC> Kevin L™ 🌵 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩, congrats to your team :)
13:52:05
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Thanks Korben. It was great.
13:52:29
<KorbenC> Who would've thought that the team from the desert would win it all :D
13:52:55
<Kevin L™ 🌵> In their 6th year to boot!
13:55:26
<KorbenC> :)
13:55:37
<KorbenC> I was quite surprised that my NBA team bean Miami this year :P
13:56:02
<Kevin L™ 🌵> That was a surprise.
14:24:54
<KorbenC> IMPROBABLE IE?
14:28:35
<KorbenC> .
14:28:36
<KorbenC> .
14:28:36
<KorbenC> .
14:28:36
<KorbenC> .
14:28:39
<KorbenC> 50FT IMPROBABLE
14:29:51
<Kevin L™ 🌵> But we get to see OF...
14:30:45
<Lida> Linda
14:31:04
<Lida> Adios gamers I'm on the plane
14:31:15
<Lida> *gamers lol
14:31:33
<JarnoO> Was about time Imp did something. It's been having large surging for months now
14:31:36
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Good luck
14:31:46
<Lida> Kevin L™ 🌵 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩, thx
14:31:57
<KorbenC> JarnoO, yeah I saw some 5-10ft surges when I was there
14:32:01
<KorbenC> It can still do it!!!
14:33:58
<JarnoO> Would be the tallest eruption ever observed. Previous ones reached 20 feet or so per the book
14:34:20
<KorbenC> I messaged AJ about it and I trust her very much so
14:36:09
<JarnoO> Funny thing is, when it died down a little at the NG-Sponge corridor, I said to myself, in narrator voice, "Little did they know, it was just the beginning."
14:36:46
<KorbenC> Although that part of the bw is far from calming down for sure :)
14:37:46
<KorbenC> AJ said they "thought it was Beehive from the VC"
14:40:06
<Linda> Oh no did you get improbable on cam?
14:40:21
<Betty> no
14:40:45
<KorbenC> Nope, can kind of see it on static
14:42:09
<JarnoO> Actually, I think there were signs of the disturbance also at Depression. I recall in the weeks (but definitely days) prior it began having regular eruptions at intervals as low as 4h and some quite large. I did initially disregard Beehive's shorter intervals as due to the event, but now that I think about it again...
14:42:56
<KorbenC> I think the change in Beehive was not really related to the disturbance, the change in behavior leading up to the shorter intervals was noted well before the D started, and it does this every year :)
14:43:02
<Linda> Bummer
14:43:49
<KorbenC> Depression I do think was impacted by the disturbance, all the cycles I watched had a much more "bouncy" behavior and were the strongest Depressions I have ever seen (>10ft with massive washing machine)
14:44:26
<JarnoO> The two 1423 static frames do sort of show Imp. You have to look in the middle tree, where, for those two frames only, there is a white speck and some steam drifting to the right of the tree
14:45:05
<JarnoO> I at least wouldn't have searched anything behind it weren't it for the in-basin entry
14:45:54
<KorbenC> On the hill right now you can definitely "feel" where the impacts of the disturbance are being felt, and I think Improbable, Depression, and Silver were certainly the reaches of the D.
14:46:29
<JarnoO> yeah, unfortunately there's seemingly a barrier between the Boardwalk fissure and Giantess
14:47:07
<KorbenC> haha, did you hear that we were able to see Corporal splashing?
14:48:14
<JarnoO> Corporal? I know Midway is sometimes visible by steam, but Norris is quite the stretch to say the least
14:48:16
<Eric> Bummer that we didn't have camera operators :-(
14:48:37
<KorbenC> The geyser hill Corporal :)
14:49:03
<KorbenC> Just got pictures from bw post eruptive, it is empty empty empty!
14:50:13
<Eric> OF
14:50:18
<Betty> OF
14:51:00
<dc> I found out it is the simple page causing more circles. Not sure why?
14:51:38
<Eric> same exact page
14:51:50
<Eric> well, not page, video stream and player
14:52:24
<dc> I have a circle on the main gt page, and clear on the nps page
14:52:49
<dc> Sorry simple page
14:55:50
<Eric> Unfortunately, I don't have a simple answer :-(
14:58:12
<dc> I think they are the same, hard to tell with the delay. I found some hd video tests on the net and passed them all.
14:58:49
<KorbenC> Just got in basin pictures of the eruption - WOOWWW
14:59:33
<JarnoO> would you mind sharing, if you can?
14:59:56
<KorbenC> JarnoO, see your email
15:01:19
<JarnoO> received, thanks
15:02:18
<KorbenC> :thumbsup:
15:18:26
<ynpvisitor352> Great photos just posted
15:19:32
<Betty> can you share a link?
15:19:57

<KorbenC> Hi Greg
15:29:17
<Greg mobile> Hi korben
15:31:40
<Betty> hi Greg mobile
15:32:02
<Greg mobile> Hi Betty
15:40:23
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I was sure hoping we would see more than OF today.
15:40:41
<Greg mobile> Yup
15:42:03
<Betty> time to head out, night all
15:42:14
<KorbenC> Cya Betty
15:42:25
<Greg mobile> By Betty
15:49:14
<Greg mobile> When was the last time Improbable appeared?
15:49:37
<KorbenC> Last major was 2015?
15:50:14
<JarnoO> last observed one at least in that year
15:52:53
<Greg mobile> Kool, thank you.
16:03:48
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Did you get the email Greg?
16:04:57
<Greg mobile> Yup, :(
16:05:07
<Kevin L™ 🌵> :p
16:13:01
<Eric> Greg, 1h 49m ago!
16:17:28
<Greg mobile> At 154pm AZ time
16:19:49
<kc (working)> congrats on the win last night KL
16:20:38
<Kevin L™ 🌵> That was a lot of fun kc. I loved the commissioner eating his crow.
16:24:34
<Eric> I saw they took the stanley cup to a strip club afterwards :-P
16:25:04
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Well they do play on the Strip
16:25:53
<Eric> :-D
16:27:36
<J> Eric pm to you
16:28:20
<Eric> Got it and replied!
16:36:29
<kc (working)> I'll still never like eichel
16:41:12
<KorbenC> Nice OF start
16:41:18
<Eric> OF again
16:41:49
<Eric> rainbows
16:41:50
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Yawn.
16:42:50
<Eric> I see graham ran back up to watch improbable recovery
16:43:25
<Eric> Good time to come into the park via West :-D
16:55:26
<KorbenC> and we're moving
16:55:38
<KorbenC> It can fit OF AND BEEHIVE!
16:56:21
<KorbenC> Not with much wiggle room but it can indeed fit OF and Bee :)
16:58:36
<Eric> ohh, this must be wide mode!
16:58:51
<JarnoO> c'mon Imp, do something... :D
16:59:04
<KorbenC> Poke it with a stick :)
16:59:10
<JarnoO> :)
16:59:26
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I like it.
16:59:49
<KorbenC> Thanks to whomever put it on wide view!
17:03:59
<Eric> Flamingo approved
17:06:27
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I relayed the thanks to the boss man.
17:10:48
<KorbenC> MV splash 1705
17:11:42
<Eric> oh, graham is back down at F&M!
17:15:43
<KorbenC> Now we need something to happen on the hill to get him back up there after this event cycle is done with
17:15:56
<KorbenC> Maybe two extended fills in a row :)
17:17:09
<JarnoO> anyone got a powerful laser to heat up Giantess a bit? :)
17:18:04
<KorbenC> LOL. I want Plume!
17:18:15
<KorbenC> Ooo, Cascade would be awesome!
17:19:28
<KorbenC> 1717 A on
17:19:44
<KorbenC> Time for it to make a decision :)
17:26:08
<KorbenC> waterlevels bleh
17:28:28
<KorbenC> Aurum?
17:28:30
<KorbenC> or big Pump
17:32:48
<DougB> Wow that camera :heart:
17:35:40
<CalebD> DougB, :thumbsup:
17:45:12
<CalebD> OF
17:45:40
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Neat shot
17:46:05
<CalebD> :thumbsup:
17:46:16
<CalebD> I like the clouds
17:46:43
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Just a great view
17:48:11
<CalebD> Long OFD
17:48:15
<CalebD> *OF
17:48:37
<JarnoO> previous one was a short, so not surprising
17:48:55
<KorbenC> Lets start alternating again :)
17:49:05
<JarnoO> double short is where it's at
17:49:50
<KorbenC> what is the most shorts observed in a row recently?
17:50:39
<KorbenC> If its anywhere, its an Old Faithful minor
17:53:35
<JarnoO> I vaguely remember a short-medium pair a couple of years ago. Prior to 1998 Old Faithful alternated to a pretty reliable degree between long and short. Perhaps a dozen times or so a year it would have a double short or a short-medium pair (or vice versa), although a occasionally it would have a stint at longs
17:54:00
<KorbenC> :thumbsup:
17:56:57
<CalebD> KorbenC, What distinguses a OF minor
17:57:22
<KorbenC> Yes :P
17:57:38

<KorbenC> Massive, sustained, eruptive preplay that doesn't reach full height but is still an eruption but doesn't last very long
17:58:22
<KorbenC> They have only been spoken about a few times if I remember correctly. JarnoO might remember more from when we were doing OF data and stuff.
18:01:40
<CalebD> KorbenC, For like 15s?
18:01:53
<JarnoO> I recall an anecdote that an eruption was observed to reach normal height, but lasted exceptionally short (±1m?). It was thought to have been the eruption, so a new prediction was put up. It did a normal eruption about 30 minutes(?) later
18:01:59
<KorbenC> I remember the historical account I found was 40s
18:02:10
<KorbenC> Jarno, that sounds right
18:02:34
<JarnoO> think Korben and I are thinking of the same. 40s is likely closer than the ±1m I wrote
18:03:35
<KorbenC> I think we are too. I remember doing that OF research, finding the 100 eruption zone was very satisfying :)
18:05:35
<CalebD> KorbenC, :thumbsup:
18:07:07
<CalebD> Sort of sounds like the 1m last year

<dc> Not as many circles. Now they need to work on focus depth. Close up trees are great, theline of trees behind of are not so, and behind the hill ore fuzzy. As is the hill.
18:08:33
<dc> One would thing what is in the middle is what would be focused the best?
18:09:08
<dc> If they are doing presets, it needs some adjustment.
18:13:54
<CalebD> dc, Maybe the Trees infront of GH?
18:18:15
<Kevin L™ 🌵> The manual has over 100 pages and there are about as many adjustments. It IS going to take a while.
18:18:22
<CalebD> Or they could foucus it on OF during an eruption

<CalebD> Kevin L™ 🌵 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩, The testing/calabrating for the webcam?
18:20:23
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Yes. This is the 4th cam they have set up while I have been a camop. Most of the time it takes months to get the bugs worked out.
18:20:48
<CalebD> :thumbsup:
18:24:06
<KorbenC> Bear moving Eastbound from Biscuit to say bonjour to Graham
18:50:09
<KorbenC> Darn chat kicked me out
19:34:21
<Mario> I'm loving the new camera
19:43:07
<kcmule> muy bueno
19:44:05
<Kevin L™ 🌵> I want to see a closeup on Depression and Aurum
22:16:45
<KorbenC> Anemone? :P
22:27:52
<dc> It is black with a circle.
22:28:07
<dc> Now it is just black
22:28:51
<dc> And no, it is not my interweb
