WeatherScout 0.2.1.0 Released!

After using WeatherAlert for many years, I have decided to step into the Weather Application scene with my own program.

I am using weather data from http://www.wunderground.com, avoiding the limitations that weather.com puts on its API.

The wunderground API also has a few neat things such as personal weather station data.

WeatherScout is written in C# (.NET Client Framework 3.5). download framework

I am not much for words, so here are some screenshots:

Yes, it does look like WeatherAlert. WeatherAlert is the only good weather program I could find to base the UI off of (kudos to darkmark327). This is only a early alpha version, so I will be tweaking the interface.

Looks great! I'd like to try it out once it's ready :)

How about the name ClimateWatchr, to continue the localhostr uploadr naming convention... just a thought.

I thought of using Weathr. But I am not a huge fan of Web 2.0 naming conventions.

I am working on the updater for the program right now. Once updates work, I will probably release a test version.

Looks very nice! Great work!

I really would like to see further development on it. We have plenty of people at school districts that always grab some free weather app, like weatherbug and they are just awful. We actually kill those process all the time so people can't run that trash.

I never found anything that I've liked, so I use the My-Cast app on my AT&T Tilt phone. It's just awesome and gives me everything that I need. But something for the desktop would be cool, especially if I don't want to check out my phone or I have bad reception, etc.

Nice use of the famfamfam icons (I love those) as well. Keep it up! :)

Looking at the list of stations in wunderground.com, it has fewer in UK than the source used by weather alert. It does not have the 3 locations I use with weather alert

I am planning on using multiple sources sometime in the future. (wunderground, noaa, weather.com, yahoo)

This would most likely be in the form of plugins.

Nice program. Ill be in for using it when you release it.

Oo btw, offtopic, but what skin is that?

I mean it looks like your using a custom XP skin, and I like the way it looks, can you tell me the name?

Its the Zune theme I think, available from the Zune website.

Climate Watcher 0.1.0.1 -- Alpha1

Download Here

Remember... there WILL be errors.

NOTE: when entering a new location, you do not have to use a zip code. You can also try City,State or City,Country.

I will be adding a location finder in the next release.

Trying it now :)

I've added my location (Tijuana) but I don't know how to make that my default forecast.

Also, a couple of recommendations: double-click the tray icon to bring the window back up, and the three views would work better as icons or buttons somewhere on the main window.

It's a bug. You need to restart the program before your location will show up.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
