Decided to do a little bit of autumn maintenance of the weather web site:

• Added London Underground service status to the Trains page
• Added a link to Solent Harbor radio to replace the broken audio media player
• Repaired the link to Talking Chatteris Weather on the web front page
• Changed the time lapse video feed to mp.4 format and configured a JW Player in an iframe to show this
• Rationalized some of the menu to make navigation easier
• White listed my ip address in ZBlocker after I locked myself out of the site 🙁
• Added  more Chatteris related community interest links and checked existing ones, adjusting to newer links where needed
• Changed some of the upload times to the correct value in the page text

If you find any broken links, please use the Contact Form to let me know.

Due to having a stinking cold I’ve been banished to my man cave so I took the opportunity to update weather pages which haven’t worked properly or just plain needed a coat of looking at.

The most noticeable adjustments have been:

Menu Bar & Contact Form –

I have added a shortcut graphical link on the Menu Bar to  a newly configured Skype account call button, the call button can also be directly accessed via the Contact Form page.

Ham Radio Page –
Added Stormy.gif to lift the page out of being slightly bland.
Added Solar X-Ray and Geomagnetic Field status.

The source for both of these can be found in my Links page.

Space Weather Page –
Due to a major upgrade to the site where the links for this page derive from, the wxspace.php script which is behind space weather called on images and information which simply wasn’t there, Martin from Hebrides Weather (www.hebwx.co.uk
) has done a great job in re-establishing the bulk of the relevant links and making the script available via the WXforum, this enabled me to get the page up and running again quite quickly, also, for the very first time I have the 3 day Solar-Geophysical Forecast running which is automatically updated every 30 minutes.

Festive greetings from Chatteris Weather.

14 December 14 was a record for the duration the weather PC has worked without a glitch, usually I have to restart, or close and then re-open an application every week or so, but this time it ran for 31 days and 16 hours before a restart which is really good.

Had a few days of the weather site not being available (5 Dec – 10 Dec), this was due to an upload which failed due to a corrupt file, unfortunately everything work ok when I accessed the site, it was only when I enabled Pingdom.com did the problem come to light, this has meant that the’ Who’s Online’ menu bar item is not available until this corrupt file is found and fixed.

The other issue has been with ‘Space Weather’, NOAA has revamped their web site and this has led to a number of broken links, I’m waiting for a week or so before I start tracking the links down and re-linking in case they continue tweaking for a bit longer.
