I missed my daily visits to the island. Glad we're connected again. Phil

And to prove we are connected. Here is our beloved island


Thanks, Jake

Good morning Phil and Jenni. Glad to see the cams are fixed. Thanks Jake. Just couldn't bear another day without them. Must look out for Freddie now. Annie B.

ok, we seem to be stuck at 7:06...hmmm....jake and linda must want a few more moments of privacy

A few moments OK, but Blikje must get tired of sitting on the same spot for a whole day

I was JUST thinking the SAME thing, Martin!! What a good laugh!

Our internet connection is still down, and to add insult to injury, my FAX line now has no dial tone either, meaning I have to repatch my phone wiring to allow my computer to dial out. Arg. They say they are working on it...

Jake

argh...when it rains it pours....

Jake, you know you can hire me for all those computer technical stuff...

So, any idea what the blob is? It's not moving.

Can it be from a bird??

Well, I've heard of flying fish, and come to think of it, there are some birds that dive...

But why on the lens?????

Well, it appears (knock on wood) that our connection is back again. Of course I just learned that if you Ctrl-Alt-Del a RedHat Linux machine at the login prompt, it reboots, so our camera server is down for a few minutes. I'm too used to Windows XP's and Windows 2000's login screens where you have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to get to a login prompt - reflex.

Anyhow, I'm going to start updating the archives momentarily. It will probably take the better part of the next 24-36 hours to get the archives updated on the WebCams server in the U.S. (14000 files to upload across our shared connection).

I'll clean the "cam turd" off the ReefCam tonight when we do our spawn dive.

Jake

maybe it's gum....here are some visitors just in time...

you didn't really have anything to do this weekend anyway...did ya jake?..."cam turd,"...i like that one...first for everything....jake, are you going to video the dive tonight (hint hint) so we can see more coral spawning (hint hint)

Jake, like I mentioned earlier, I can be hired...

Enjoy your night spawn dive, wish we could be there.. But only 4 weeks, 6 days and about 2 hours before take off, but who's counting...

Cynde - I am planning on videoing the dive tonight. We'll see if anything comes of it.

See you soon, Martin!

Jake

Cam turd. Hmmmm. Dutch?

Bob

Not that I know...
