JTrack Satalite Tracking System
The above is a link to a mashup. Satalite positions mixed with a map of The Earth.
“Watch the skies! For GOD sake watch the skies” he said and was gone.
The USB that had been thrust in to my hand had a logo on it that I had never seen before. Thrusting the thing in to my coat pocket and realising that I was about to miss my train.
I hurried on to my place of work. The USB like a bad dream almost forgotten, not realising that the entire exchange was picked up by the cctv cameras in the station.
Yet in the the skies overhead and deep underground things were not as they should be…
“What did he think he was doing?” quried Reed “Better get the old man. I didn’t think I would ever see this comming.” said Harris. Reed press the button on the com system. My life, my ordinary peaceful life was in effect over. The thing is that as USBs remained the same size the amount of data and the compression ratios were always on the up more information in a smaller and smaller space.
What I had in my coat pocket was no less then the crown jewels of cheap clean renewable energy. The thing is that someone had in effect taken the door off the patent office and run a muck with the information held inside.
The results of which was now on the USB in my coat pocket. Not just energy but new materials and ways of safely applying them in a mayrid number of ways.
The main problem is the RnD setup and costs or to put it in more modern terms. Too many fingers and not enough pie.
There are also those who are now getting all the pie that they want and don’t want the boat being rocked or any one else getting a slice of their pie.
The eletromagnetic lense doesn’t need to be that big to be powerful. just like burning a hole in a piece of paper with a maginfying glass. quiped Dr Ross as he and Dr Green staired at the figures of that mornings run.
I took the train home reading the evening paper and going about my usual routine as the key went in to the lock on the front door I had the feeling that all was not as it should be. The police said that it had been a break in nothing more the people who did it had been frightened away by the neighbours or by me putting my key in the door.
Did I have somewhere that I could go for the night and could I check to see exactly what was missing.
The old man favoured the softly softly approach a simple pickpocket job and the USB would have been in his hands and not those of that other group.
Now things where more random than the particles the machine was going to generate under test.
In the skies it was a storm just another storm only this one had had a little help.
No one saw the tiny shifts in the pattern nor understood the dangers that they posed a few degrees here a fraction of a second of arc there nothing realy important.
Hi Winston,
Well done on this, hope all is ok. Don’t worry about other Students, just concentrate on getting yourself through the course. If you have problems speak to your Mentor.
A very Happy and Busy New Year

Hi Winston
Love the quote.
I find Google Earth awesome, so the concept of satellites capable of ’seeing’ at that level of detail is extraordinary. What is more worrying is that there are enough people around spending time analysing what the satellites ’see’.
