Don't hold your breath just yet - I'm currently writing two papers for a
conference and a journal, so I'm quite busy! I will hopefully get some
time to look at it more after April. There will probably be two parts -
the bit to download data from the Vantage Pro and another bit that will
read data from a database and display it nicely on a webpage (local or
on the Internet).


I have waited long enough for a good weather data recorder/analyser. A
little longer will not hurt.


Any ideas on a title?!


I have given this a little thought and have a few ideas that may start
others thinking.

First, the serious sounding titles. Most software of this type usually
seems to start with "Weather......", so I have tried to avoid copying
them and have come up with "Met Record" and "Met Data".

Next I looked for something a little different and thought of "Front
Line". There is a reference to a weather term but this program is, after
all, to be the front line for all your weather data.

Then I went for tongue in cheek humour with "At Least it Will be Mild".
Absolutely no reference to what the program does but it should attract a
little attention from usw.

Of course, if you want it to be an irresistible download to the majority
of those in usw, just call it "Snow". :-)
