RobynD39 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Ian, I found your site to be a godsend during our trip outback last week. I can read most of the area briefing except for knowing what areas they are referring to. There is one bug that you might not know about. Sometimes we get the wrong time coming up. Eg, in todays briefing: Broken stratus 1000/3500 ft areas till pm am. For anyone still having trouble copying on an ipad, I found the easiest way is to highlight the first line (press and hold on the first word of the first line until the magnifier comes up, then touch and drag the bottom right adjuster across to the end of the line), then with the line highlighted, drag the bottom right adjuster across to the far right of the page. This should highlight the whole text on the page. Then copy and paste into pemet. Its well worth the effort once you work out how to do it. Cheers Robyn

Eg, in todays briefing: Broken stratus 1000/3500 ft areas till pm am. That will be me decoding TIL I would guess, although it's not unknown for ARFORs to get a bit sloppy syntax-wise. ICAO ideas on ARFORs seem to be pretty loose. NZ ones look rather different to Oz ones. I look into it though. If you run ito it again, it would be good if you could cut/paste the whole ARFOR subsection including the raw gibberish. It would be a very cheap shot to suggest that BOM could easily fix this by doing the forecasts in English - like they do for the TV - and the marine areas - and everything except aviation .....
cscotthendry Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Pemet seems to work eceptionally well, even filtering out the added web page guff, but I found a little glitch. In one report I got, it flagged a weather change at 24Z and pemet reported it as "pm am".

ianboag Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Wow, that was quick! I finally did the round tuit thing and implemented webstats. The site gets about 100 visits/day. Not a lot.
ianboag Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Well guys (and gals) - I just got my annual bill for $140 - the domain name and the DNS option. It all seems to work OK - haven't had any bug reports for the last six months or so - now I'm a bit over it. Anyone who feels like taking it over can have all the code plus the domain name etc for nix. Don't all speak at once. I have offered it to Ian but haven't heard back. Cheers IB

Cheers IB Perhaps the OZrunnways guys could be interested? It would be a big disappointment if it falls over. If its only the $140 that is the concern, perhaps we could kick in? Phil 1
sfGnome Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Would a bit of google advertising help, or are there not enough of us to make it worthwhile? 1
Admin Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I took yesterday (Sunday) off but have replied to Ian now...hope to have it incorporated here for everyone 3
ianboag Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I took yesterday (Sunday) off but have replied to Ian now...hope to have it incorporated here for everyone Do you want the domain name too?
Admin Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Do you want the domain name too? Might as well mate...thanks 1
turboplanner Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Thank you to both Ians; that has to be a huge plus plus for aviation safety, and saved time. 3
Admin Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 It is now on our server and running: http://192.69.222.90/~pemcomau/ (this address is for testing) I will now go through the process of getting the domain changed over which may take a week or so. In the mean time keep using the same domain as you are now and you won't notice any difference when the domain does finally flick over 3
Ferris Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 This is a great service and congratulations to all involved. Quick question, how do i use it with an ipad; ie the copy & paste bit?
frank marriott Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 This is a great service and congratulations to all involved. Quick question, how do i use it with an ipad; ie the copy & paste bit? From NAIPS, select email, don't send, copy all, then you can paste it. 1
Jabiru Phil Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks both Ian's My recent 38 hour trip to WA using Pemet made things very much easier for me and at the same time leaning the naips shorthand. Expect a donation when up and running Phil. 1
ianboag Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 This is a great service and congratulations to all involved. Quick question, how do i use it with an ipad; ie the copy & paste bit? It's all there a couple of pages back in this thread
Admin Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 The domain www.pemet.com.au has now been transferred over to our server...it may take a few days for your ISP to wake up to the change but you can tell which one you are on as pemet on our server has the Recreational Flying logo on the page to differentiate it. In due course it will be integrated into this site so you won't have to leave here however the pemet domain will still operate outside of this site. Thanks to Ian Boag for giving the files and site to Recreational Flying for all Australian aviators to use and note that we will be enhancing it soon, making it even better, for everyone to use 2 1
