The weather station has been running for several days with the modified FARS.  So far the temperature is looking good, with no spike in temperature when the sun shines directly on the housing.  The temperatutre at night dips well below the CWOP/MADIS analysis like it did before.  The temperature in the daytime still reads higher than the analysis, but a second thermometer located in a different area of the yard confirms the readings. 

For the Webcam, I have been trying out a software package known as Conquercam.  It has also been running for several days with no problems or lockups.  It doesn’t have support for streaming, but I’m simulating that via some Ajax code.  Not quite as good as I want, but stability is more important than streamng.

My Ajax-ification of the Web site is coming along well.  I’ve completed most of the pages, with the stats page still outstanding.  I’ve completed about one third of the page, and have a pattern for adding Ajax support that isn’t hard to implement.  So I should be able to complete that page this weekend.

So what’s left to do?  I need to add a ground wire for the lightning sensor.  I also need to revise the “About” page and bring it up to date.  Then I can go to my “nice to have” list, which has quite a few items on it.  There are some fun projects on there, like setting up a weather satellite receiver.  Since another of my hobbies is amateur radio, I’m looking forward to that one, even if the technology and concept are a bit dated.
