Re: paper sundial
Fabio, these paper dials are wonderful! What a great treat. Thank you so much. -Bill Gottesman On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 6:09 AM, Fabio nonvedolora fabio.sav...@nonvedolora.it wrote: Hi all, news from the clouds. I’ve a toy for the end of the year.

cloudy day sundial?
Could this be the revolution we've been waiting for, a sundial that works on cloudy days? Thoughts? http://www.livescience.com/16831-viking-sunstone-crystal-compass.html Sasch Stephens Bellingham, WA 48.75N, 122.5W --- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial

Technical problem. When I clicked on the returning link it came up ERROR and I had to remove the end of the link so that 'html' was the end.

Re: paper sundial
Thank you Fabio. I checked the link and found it quite useful but the use is not intuitive but subtle. A casual observer like me has no idea how to use the page to create a personal design. Many will click onto the link and then stall. It is not obvious how to get the program to respond. I found moving the cursor to the sunburst beside location data worked. There I could input my location. Look for the pointed finger cursor on the sunbursts. Entry your specific data to generate a design. Then click on the pdf drawing tab to see the design. It works like a charm as you said. Thanks for this gift for the members of the sundial list.
