Our wake is now available for Google Earth, from the Trip's page.
Also visible from here. Check it out, it looks good ;o) !

New releases
Now things calmed down after our return in the San Francisco Bay, I was able to compile and implement most of the improvements I wanted to do to the software we used (and wrote) during the trip; namely the Weather Wizard, and the NMEA Console (included in the desktop).
Those two are still open source projects, in Google Code.
Bits are available in the "download" sections of the links above.
Bugs have been fixed, features have been added, the programs have never been more operational.

Typhoon Ma-On
Typhoon Ma-On is in full force on the Mariana Islands, 95 knots of wind, gusting 115..., and still getting strength...
Sample GUI implementation:
And the TideEngine code is now available on Google Code.

Tide computing
I had had that one in the back of my head for quite a while... a tide engine (in Java) you can plug anywhere.
Apparently, it did not exist. The closest I could find was JTides, which is good, but that does not provide this kind of feature outside of its own graphical user interface.
Well, now it exists, I wrote a utility to turn the tide data into two XML documents, so you can parse and use them. In java, that's a piece of cake. Surprisingly, the class that does all the job (water height or current speed at any moment) is less than 900 lines big; and it includes comments!
This will be soon published on Google Code, along with some samples.
But the cool thing is that it works as well as JTides does.
I'll post a new message when the code is available on Google.
