I went to open up the live scanner feed and it said the account has been suspended;anyone have info on this?

Yep i have the same thing. i have tried erasing cookies and resetting the browser and it has made no difference. i am sure w2lie knows about it and is working on it.

i have a question about w2lie. when you open up a live feed, is it just a recording of the past hour of transmissions or is it a live feed? and is the southern nassau fire feed down?

it is a live feed... delayed about 5 or 10 seconds due to internet.

and w2lie itself is down..... the NCFD west feed is still working

[capt43]

It's a live feed and I believe the Southern Nassau feed has been down for a while. I hope he gets it back up or someone else can start another one. I am down here in Florida and miss hearing the Long Island action!

souther nassau is nothing special... you can download many media programs and run as many feeds as you want at a time. i find the NCFD WEST feed to pick up the most action

We crashed our shared hosting server this morning.. as a result the account has been suspended and we were asked to leave. I am in the process of packing up the site and trying to get the domains moved. I have opened up a twitter page so you guys can track any progress... Phil Lichtenberger (w2lie) on Twitter

[capt43]

Phil, for those of us without a Twitter account, can you please keep us posted on when the site/feeds will be back up?

Thanks again

You dont need a twitter account to view the twitter page

Phil


I may be able to help you with hosting this ...... Need to know what your requirements are........

PM with details, I on vacation with limited service, will get back to you asap........

[capt43]

Any luck with W2lie yet?

[jayg359]

Phil is working on it. Should be back up in a day or two hopefully!

they did have it working again yesterday AM for a little.

I recommend SurpassHosting. You can get yourself the dev package, As they have the higher end system specs and you should be golden!

Solutions Comparisons. (Price between $15 & $18 a month.)

[jayg359]

For those who dont know, site is fully back up.

www.w2lie.net

If you use the site, help the cause by donating a few bucks. There are a ton of expenses involved in running it. We ALL appreciate the hard work that Phil puts into it!

[w2lie]

jay - thanks for the kind words.
We've been on the new host for about a month now, and things are slowly getting back to normal.

The most recent addition to the site is that the "Buff Box" now dumps to Twitter every 30 minutes.. so if anyone posts anything into the Buff Box, you can follow along with Twitter. ( and BTW, if anyone knows how to get Twitter Alerts onto your cell phone, please let me know - I've had a few people ask me that ).

In addition, I've set NWS alerts to feed to the Twitter account as well so by following @w2lie should keep you in the loop...

No more Southern Nassau feed unfortuately. It was taken down initially when my desktop crapped out but I have since moved to Suffolk. :(

I've got a question.
Is there a program that can send you E-Mails when there is a Sig. 10 in Nassau??

How do you host a feed?

A dedicated PC with a Serial port or USB connection, a scanner, a scanner data cable (serial or USB) if you want to have Alpha tags shown on the feed, a 3.5mm audio cable to bring sound from the scanner to the PC, and a few free programs and scripts that W2LIE can provide and set-up.

Additionally I purchased a higher-end audio card for the PC I use for the Nassau-North feed because my on-board audio was feeding a lot of other noise into the line.
