the media is going nuts over.
This is off topic as can be, but calling the service has never actually
put me in touch with anybody that knew what I was talking about. so...
However, your sig makes me lodge a conplaint about a service thats has
apparently been discontinued, eg the access to current conditions
at "KCKB", or for that matter any other net station.
I have a system monitor called gkrellm that has a weather plugin, and its
last valid connection was July 28th, 11:53 pm. I found it quite handy,
and since it was a totally automated service, self updating at about 30
minute intervals, saw no financial advantage for NWS/you in shutting off
that service. Can it not be restored? I believe the problem lies in the
DNS lookup of KCKB or any other of the 4 letter station codes used for
this service nationwide. You can PM me at gheskett at shentel dot net
I made a workaround for this problem when gkrellm weather plugin stopped
working.
It is only a Perl script (native to the plugin) to modify.
If you are interested I can send it with instructions to this list.
Cheers.
Thanks to the
TDE team letting me do "stuff I do all the time" like I
always have!!
I'll second that!!
