After the introduction of the Orthoptera, XC is now ready to expand to other groups. First up are the 1500 species of bats of the world! This new extensions was done with help from Gloriana Chaverri, bat expert from Costa Rica, and Marcelo Araya Salas, an ecologist and bioacoustics expert we all know well from developing WarbleR, and generous financial support from NLBIF.
XC focuses on sharing real-time recordings of bats, as explained in the FAQ. You can also learn there how to convert recordings from time-expanded to real-time.
.... a bit better now, but Google Maps still suffering. Those really should get better at least tomorrow, but hey, let's see.
... looks like we are out of the woods.
XC is sadly regularly unreachable again/still, at least at my end.
.... is this during heavy usage on your side Ulf? or just for casual checks.
XC turning inaccessible may very well be initiated by frequent use of the site by me, but once XC has entered into such a state, it remains inaccessible.
It's as if my IP adress is mistaken for one of those evil bots or something.
ok I see, not at all impossible Ulf: I was IP blocked myself for a few hours last week :-) Let me check exactly which blocks have been put in place.
... of course you can quickly check by changing your IP. you may have already tried that.
I'm not really an IT guy and don't know exactly how IP adresses work, but XC is accessible for me while using a computer in one geographical location, while not in another. I guess the two computers are associated with different IP adresses, so that may be the explanation.
Still, If the 'bot' onslaughts continues, the countermeasures against them would keep acting against my IP adress too, if I try accessing XC 'too much'?
I sent you an email Ulf.
