weather data retrieval
Published on January 2, 2010 By machinehd In OS Customization

Has anyone else noticed that as of Jan 1st, the METAR data doesn't work for most sites to retrieve weather info? Almost every site responds with a Parse error. I've R&R'd Sysmetrix thinking it may be a corrupt data file but the problem persists.  I read some forums saying it's possibly the Weather Channel but Sysmetrix retrieves it's data from NOAA. Does anyone have a line of why this is happening?  NOAA's weather site still uses the same 4-character METAR codes and they don't mention any changes.

I'm planning on putting out a new version in the next couple of weeks that will take care of all of those little problems with Windows 7

Excellent news

Indeed--it looks like the old folks have come out.

@Nick, while we are at it : It would be uber-nice if You could find a way for Sysmetrix 3.5 ( ) a skinner could define a drive meter 1 time only and then let the end-user decide which drives he wants to monitor. Would need to mirror everything belonging to that drive meter X times then by tiling or so.

Now I like that suggestion as I only have one HDD.

Ok, I've posted SysMetrix 3.44 (http://www.xymantix.com/sysmetrix/download), so download it when you get a chance and let me know if there are still any problems with Windows 7.  I think I got everything taken care of, but don't have a system yet to test on, so I'm still flying blind.  I did order a copy of Windows 7 64-bit, though, so I'll be making the leap next week!

Calle, that's a great idea about the drives.  I think it would be a nice addition for everyone, so I'll add it to the todo list!

I just downloaded the update and memory and those things associated with it seem to working fine.  Running Win 7 64 bit with 8GBs of memory. 

I need to go find a skin that looks at multiple core CPU's so I can check the other stuff.  Do you have any suggestions of a skin to try?
