Michael Helfrich spent the day at the beach yesterday, but it wasn’t for getting a tan. He’s part of the Strong Angel project and reports on his blog:
The kinks are being worked out for how the Mission Beach data is assimilated in the EOC, but is especially gratifying to see the speed in which this technology can be deployed, but even more exciting in that it can be leveraged by many systems operating here today. RSS/SSE, XMPP, KML, XML, and Public Networks have made much of the integration quite straightforward.
So it seems that he and the folks he was working with achieved vastly better connectivity out at the beach than we did inside the SA3 site. A lesson there…
