Dear Brandon, Blick, and WeatherCat web spinners,
I like the clean, simple look of Edouard's SeaMonkey template. I'm waiting for him to build a tab that supports SteelSeries Gauges and another that includes the digital image of the Davis console.
Well, if that's what you are waiting for . . . you are going to be in for a long wait! I am interested in adding real-time updates to this template, but I want do have most of the information remain in a digital format as the website has it now. I really am a "digital kind of guy" and turned off Stu's custom gauges because of the memory leak in Yosemite and really don't miss them. So in my current thinking, the temperature, barometric pressure, and rainfall would remain as is, but those numbers would be updated via PHP instead of being static. Underneath that table, I really would like to have gauges for wind direction and wind run, but I don't think you can get wind run in real-time updating version for the web -
isn't that true? So I think I would go with some sort of wind direction gauge and once more a simple number for the wind-speed being displayed in real-time via PHP.
Also, I really don't care for the Davis console renditions on a webpage, so you are on your own on that one as well!
However, if you really want it, it isn't at all hard to add tabs. My enhanced version of the SeaMonkey template that I run for my weather website has 6 tabs. If you want, I can send you a page as a sample and you can simply go through it and rename the tabs to do what you want. Since you already know how to get the steel gauges to run on your existing website, all you would need is to splice that code into the pages as you desire.
Then I'm going to use it myself. Now that his Buick is running, he can spend the winter doing stuff for the rest of us.
Well, not quite. If we had a long spell of rain, then I would have little else to do but work on the computer and that sure would help everything from the AppleScripts to this template. Alas, so far, El Ni?o sure seems to be a
no-show and I'm starting to get worried . . . .
As long as the weather is dry, there is
always yard work to do . . . .
Oh well, . . . Edouard
