I forgot to explain how the Observations page works
(http://www.weatherwatchers.org/obs/).
First of all, if you have live weather instrumentation on the Net please
let me know so I can add you.
*If you have a weather station listed on that page, or are interested in
the technicalties of how the page is produced, read on:
How I am retrieving the current temperatures is as follows. If you are
running the WeatherView32 software, I am hitting your website and
grabbing the hourly.txt file every 2 hours (maximum the CASI web server
will let me do) and cutting out the appropriate lines and columns with
UNIX. If you are running other software but have a text page I am
attempting to do the same thing to it, but of course that is trickier
due to the different formats. If you have only graphical data on your
site then there is nothing I can retrieve unless you have a small
graphic like Charlie A. does (and that was darn hard to fit in there,
buddy! ;))
So, number one, keep an eye on that page and if you see something other
than a temperature displaying in the Curr. Temp column let me know as I
really just started testing this program tonight. If I have too much
trouble with the non-weatherview software files then I may just have to
call them N/A.
If you are running the WeatherView software but there is an N/A under
your Curr.Temp then it is because I found that you were not uploading
the hourly.txt file or it was not updating. If you want your Curr.Temp
to appear there then please start uploading the hourly.txt file and let
me know.
Now the only other thing is : for those of you who have a Curr.Temp on
that page, this will cause 12 hits to your website per day, which won't
affect graphical counters but will appear in your overall statistics.
If this is not acceptable, let me know and I can assign your temp N/A.
