I also use Weather link. The only problem I have had is when I have had
strip chart running + upload enabled.
Looks like Alan has had the same problem.


Under those circumstances, the problem I have is an 'error writing new
record' which can only be resolved by a Control-Alt-Delete. A
'rubbish' record is written which has to be manually edited or
deleted. I've discussed this with Davis to no avail. It's very
irritating.

As I said earlier, when upload is enabled I keep tabs on what's going
on by continuously monitoring the web site.

I have to say I don't leave the strip charts running continuously, as
its running on a laptop, so ideally I like the thing to go into a sleep
mode (i.e. hard disk off) most of the time, and just run up every hour
to grab data and do the web upload. With the strip charts on it springs
to life every 10 minutes, which defeats the object of using the laptop
as a low power server.
