Bugger. The UARS tracking page is down. "Can't connect : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)" http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ ... m/?s=21701 reports it's not just down for me.

Bandwidth problem. "Servers too busy... Try again later..." I hope the site's techies rig up another server for the next two days.

Oz is still in the firing line. An orbital map on another site that doesn't seem the be working now indicates that one of it's final orbits, if it lasts that long, will pass over Perth. I'm giving 1:50,000,000 odds that one of the big chunks will lob in my front garden.
