Hi again Roger,

As I believe you are aware, there is a Web site out there that focuses on using low temperature gravity change sensors to attempt to forecast earthquakes. And that is one of the reasons I was curious about your gravity work.

I don't know what their success rate is. But I would expect that for earthquakes in the vicinity of the sensors they are probably fairly good. More distant earthquakes would likely be quite a bit more difficult to spot.

A number of years ago, one researcher in South America developed an interesting earthquake forecasting gravity change sensor system that used relatively inexpensive high sensitivity weight sensors (scales). He proposed that if three of them were used together in a triangle arrangement then it would be possible to spot some approaching earthquakes.

At that time he was not working with any organized groups such as university research groups. And I don't know if he ever had any success with finding sponsors for his research.

TrueBasic programming is okay. But as I said, I have just not had any free time lately to do any programming work. And tomorrow will largely be another day devoted to dealing with complications associated with that local fatality that I mentioned.

You might want to look into doing some Web site development work. My new Web site is going to need some and I don't presently have time to work on that.

These days it is usually not necessary to actually write HTML code. People work with programs that let them paste pictures etc. to a Web page. And the programs automatically develops the right HTML code for them. Then after the new Web page looks the way they want they just save a copy of it and upload it to a Web site.

Thanks for the sympathy remarks.
