Thats a pitty Gary. You put a lot of work into your Weather station and website.

hmmm i was just tlaking to my dad about how im going to move the station to my house. He said he will miss not having the consol in the office, so i said i would get him a consol and the station send to mine and his. I wasnt that keen on getting a new one, so if your stuck for people buying the full package then i would happily purchase your consol. I am really considering getting one of your webcams and connecting that up.

[kaimaikid]

Just buy the lot and stick what you don't want on trade me.....

[Tornado Tim]

Jamie, I suspect he got his from the U.S.
The console wont work, unless you take it into Davis to switch frequencies. Of which they will charge like wounded bulls.

[Manukau heads obs]

that is a good point,in that its a wired, and not wireless console
You could get a envoy for your Dad Jamie?

[Tornado Tim]

Oh damb thats even worse because you can't daisy chain them.....

[kaimaikid]

How old is the equipment? Time spent out in the weather is obviously a factor in the remaining life of the sensors.

[kaimaikid]

Hi Allan

its approx 3 - 4 years off the top

from what I can see it still looks like new - no weather deterioration

[tgsnoopy]

Am currently negotiating to buy this, hope to keep it online here in Tauranga.

[tgsnoopy]

FYI - I have purchased this, Gary (bless him), will re-establish it at his place for an indefinite period as I do not have a suitable location for it. Hopefully it will be online again in the next day or so.

[kaimaikid]

Well that fell over as the laptop has basically cooked itself - goes for about 2 - 20 secs then click and instant off (crash) and that was only doing updates with no load on it

So I am most disappointed

Anyone out there with a XP or later laptop they care to donate for the cause?

[Manukau heads obs]

is the fan on it working?

[tgsnoopy]

I don't know yet, I have to go out to Te Puke this morning, so I'll pick it up then and take a gander.

[tgsnoopy]

Well, doing the dis assembly, cleaning & reassembly late at night isn't something I'd recommend. Sadly it is still shutting down, and the fan is going ok, even with a menial task like playing Freecell it dies after only a couple of minutes.

I do have a Netbook here running the TOA Lightning Detector, I might relocate it to Gary's so it can run the Weather Station too. Still have another laptop here with no RAM and dead screen which might be coaxed into running yet.

Ok station up and running again 24/7 thanks to an old xp pro lappy

just a few more tidy ups to do with site.
