Reply #9: This is where my boss gets it ...

I think I just figured it out.

Every third Tuesday, she comes up with some off-the-wall scheme of something she wants to do with our website and throws it at me (when I became our website editor, I have no idea) not in a "is this possible, and if so, how do we do it" sort of way, but as a "do it yesterday" dictum.

The latest is her desire to have a real-time weather radar pop up automatically during a severe weather warning.

Never mind that the only thing I am authorized to do by our CMS is edit html and add some trivial javascript. Never mind that I'm a glorified accountant, NOT a web developer. Never mind all that.

I remember now having read some article in the local paper about a local television station's preparations for its website along with hurricane season. They'll basically be emulating Weather Underground on the front page during severe weather, but the way the article was written, it made it sound like you were going to have access to the shiny red buttons on the Doppler radar panel and be able to direct the beam at whatever section of the sky you desired.

Sorry ... tangent.
