04 Jan 2011 We have converted last year's download records from the weather system into spreadsheet files for each month. These contain weather data snapshots taken every five minutes. Click to download the Excel spreadsheet containing the weather data for each available month:
30 Dec 2010 The twitter feed of weather now goes to its own account G8TQHWX every half hour. This is to avoid confusion between private tweets and the automated weather ones. 24 Dec 2010 We now have an iPhone formatted weather page. Point your iPhone at it and the display should look OK without needing to scale safari. 22 Dec 2010

16 Oct 2010 The latest set of euchre scores for the season (and the underlying spreadsheets in both the old and new Excel formats: EuchreScores.xls and EuchreScores.xlsx) have been updated. 28 Sep 2010 The new Euchre season has started. Watch this site for the performance of the ex-Provi team (see the Euchre Page). We've now uploaded the calendar of events as an iCalendar for you as well as the first set of euchre scores of the season (and the underlying spreadsheets in both the old and new Excel formats: EuchreScores.xls and EuchreScores.xlsx). 19 Sep 2010 We were happy with the way the weather part of the site was working; but then our server people decided to change the server-end software, which broke almost everything! I've now fixed the current, summary and extreme value pages; but there are still problems with the graphical representation and pseudo-realtime. The problems seem to be caused by the permissions on the files being wrong and none of our client-end software can alter them. The good news, however, is that the weather is now being shared via twitter too! Just hunt for G8TQH on twitter and you'll see the weather updated every half-hour (or so). Good huh? On the Euchre front, the new season has started. Watch this site for the performance of the ex-Provi team (Euchre Page). 24 Apr 2010 We are now happy with the new software and its weather display on this web site. For backward compatibility, we have retained the old text and WAP pages. Meanwhilst, have a look at the new pages. In particular the pseudo-realtime display:
19 Apr 2010 The second version of the weather display is now on the site. Have a look at this page (and all those linked to it with the buttons at the bottom) and let us know what you think. To compare, the previous version is still there at:
14 Apr 2010 The final euchre scores of the season (and the underlying spreadsheets in both formats: EuchreScores.xls and EuchreScores.xlsx). 10 Apr 2010 The new weather station arrived on 9th April (not bad considering it was only ordered on the 8th). Ian came around to help and the first sensors and the panel were installed on Friday afternoon. On 10th, the older web stuff was re-written to match the new system. There are still some "teething troubles" with the sensors, but the new weather pages are OK and should be showing the right things once the sensors have been sorted out. Have a look at:
08 Apr 2010 The updated euchre scores (and the underlying spreadsheets in both formats). A new weather station has been ordered. It's due to arrive soon and, once fitted, will allow us to get the weather information back onto the web site. The new system has much better software and will allows us to have a much better display of weather information. Watch out for further information. 14 Mar 2010 The updated euchre scores (and the underlying spreadsheets in both formats) 07 Mar 2010 The sensors for wind speed and direction have been replaced. However, while they work fine to the display unit, the processor in the loft seems unable to send their data to the internet. That was working (even if the APRS upload and the collection of statistical data was suspect) but is now dead. We now are considering replacing the whole system of weather collection and upload (and updating this whole web site) but we doubt anything will be done before the Easter holidays; however, watch this space for information. 22 Feb 2010 The updated euchre scores (and the underlying spreadsheets in both formats) 20 Feb 2010 As of 18 February 2010, the main sensors of the weather station are "down", in the true sense that they are now laying on the patio instead of being up the air. The wind direction sensor has again ceased to work -- but this time, remaking the connection hasn't fixed the problem: it seems the cable itself has rusted out rather than just the cheap aluminium connector. We're now awaiting a response from the manufacturers as to the cost of either a repair or replacement. Then again, we're still awaiting a modern version of the software that will work too! In the event that they cannot help us, we'll be looking at a replacement for the whole kit -- so the weather should be back soon (but don't hold your breath). 16 Feb 2010 The updated euchre scores (and the underlying spreadsheets in both formats) 27 Jan 2010 The updated euchre scores (and the underlying spreadsheets in both formats) 14 Jan 2010 The updated euchre scores (and the underlying spreadsheets in both formats)
