I started having issues with the Guruplug that I use for my station computer.  The file system kept getting corrupted and was being made read only.  It finally reached the point where it wouldn’t boot anymore at all.  So I pressed a workstation I had nearby into service as a replacement.  This computer is an older workstation running Centos Linux.  It took me a while to get everything set up as I didn’t have backups for all the configuration files and scripts.  Most of them were backed up, but there were a few I had been tweaking on the Guruplug.  I back up all my Windows workstations nightly, but never implemented a backup solution for the Guruplug.  That was a mistake that I will correct ASAP.

The new station computer is working well and is much more capable that the Guruplug could ever hope to be.  The benefit is that the weather data is updated more frequently.  The downside is that my UPS can only run this computer for several hours rather than several days for the Guruplug.  Maybe I can come up with an old laptop which should extend the run time a bit.  But for now the station is back up an running again.
