  • Single URL/bookmark can now open multiple windows/tabs

    That's a very good idea. Let me add that to the next release. It's easy to implement.

    Yep, definitely a bug. v1.80 will go out in a couple of hours, or you can get it now by restarting the server.

    Sorry about that. Getting more difficult to keep this thing afloat. I appreciate everyone's assistance.

    Okay, I think I see something wrong now..

  • Worried about time?

    [humor, sarcasm]

    Sure, but be careful. For some people this is a slippery slope into full-blown "time nuttery", e.g. Time-Nuts, LeapSecond.com. Believe me, I know. It starts with PPS-producing GPS modules. But then quickly escalates into buying a GPSDO and/or surplus rubidium OCXODO from that Ebay guy in China. All of a sudden you're building your own GPSDO. Then acquiring an old hp 5370A/B TI counter, or two, or three or ten. Perhaps even adding my CPU upgrade. Then you score your first cesium standard off Ebay. You might even get one with a semi-working beam tube. Pretty soon the Allen deviation/variation plots are flowing and three-corner hat comparisons being made. This list is maybe 2% of what's likely to happen.

    Now things really fall apart. You decide you need a hydrogen maser. So the sports car and/or summer home get sold to raise the cash required..

    Absolutely no cure, except to get distracted by something equally interesting/addictive.

  • KiwiSDR Clock Lags?

    One thing I could do I suppose is have the Kiwi server occasionally check for NTPd running and restart it if necessary.

    Something like that always sounds simple. But when it comes to implementation there are always funny edge cases to consider and the possibility I'll release a version that bricks everyone's Kiwi. I've been lucky about that so far..
