Getting woken up at 4 AM by a fire alarm is my idea of fun. >_< NOT!!!

I am not sure what the per post limit is on Neowin, maybe you should ask in the SFI forum? :unsure:

[darkmark327]

No, it's not. And notice how I overslept for work. Yay.

can we get an option that shows in degrees celcius please? :)

You'll have to make do with a screenshot, I've gutted into functionality now. Expect a preview release shortly though once I've cleaned it up.

Looks nice.

Changing the name back to weather spy?

Ah, good eye; no, that's just the title of my debug version. That stays as weatherspy so that the registry data for the two versions stay separate.

We had a big storm here the other night, would have been interesting to see how this program would have worked when the storm was hitting.

We had rain, 30+ MPH winds (don't know what that is in km/h), 4?C temps, a wind chill of -1?C, and snow down to 1000ft in some areas!:o:o That never happens here...

The slew of hurricanes in the US over the summer provided me with ample opportunities to test its severe weather reporting capabilities ;)

Heh I figured as such. :p I knew it would have been tested by now, I just wanted to see it for myself. :)

Gonna have to download it and try it. :D

It's not that I don't have space, but I'd prefer to know for future things why this isn't working, or what the max file size is (wasn't it like 250k? I don't remember if that was just for images).  I'll post it soon.  It's 3 in the morning with my building's fire alarm having just gone off (which happens like once or twice a day, we must have the biggest collection of idiots on the campus)...this one is the best though; they don't know how to turn it off (they should have plenty of practice, sheesh) so it keeps going off for a few seconds at random intervals.  And I have to get up at 7 for work.  Yay.

the limit is 250Kb when we switched to invision board 2.0.0 there wasx a bug which caused it to say unlimited

[darkmark327]

So by was you mean is.

[calidude]

Hey it seems to work great so far. Good job! :yes:

[darkmark327]

All right guys, here's the long awaited test of the next version!!!!

Let me know if you have problems with it.

[darkmark327]

It seems that weather.com occasionally spits out HTTP 500 errors when downloading the animated radar maps; if you're having sporadic problems getting that to work, there's the reason.

How come sometimes my tray icon displays a sky condition icon and sometimes it shows the current temperature? Is there a way to change that? :unsure:

Of course, go to the tray icon options under settings; you can choose which to display and how to display them if you choose to show both.

I just started to use this and it great! :D Thanks for all the work your putting into this program. :yes:

I saw that when I was setting it up but I didn't know what it was for. >_< Silly me, thanks for pointing it out. :yes:

Oops, the alert temperature slider wasn't set to accept negative values.

I think it's trying to show a balloon tip on an as-yet unconstructed Main Window; I've fixed the two errors, you can redownload at the above link.
