Hi all,
I heard the following program on ABC NewsRadio (originally from BBC
World Service), and it might be of interest to my fellow APRS fans.
Pachube (pronounced "Patch-bay") is a platform for attaching devices
to the web, similar to the way we do weather stations on APRS. The
particular application discussed in the program is Japanese people
feeding live radiation data from the areas affected by the recent
quake / tsunami.
Crowdsourcing Japan radiation levels (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00fvkxf#p00g517k
)
(The audio is about 5.46 in duration.)
The main Pachube web site is at http://www.pachube.com/. Wikipedia
also has a good intro page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachube.
APRS to Pachube gateway anyone? :-)
