Title: Hello from Hampshire, UK
Post by: SJP999 on June 24, 2014, 10:19:37 AM

Hi! I have been evaluating WC for the last 10 days and have just purchased the licence. I have been running a PWS for about 5 years - its a Fine Offset WH-1081 and was previously running using Cumulus on a WinXP VM on my iMac. I wanted to ditch the VM as XP is now legacy, and the VM was consuming too many resources. I have enjoyedconfiguring WC and will be setting up some custom web pages soon.

The issue of how I am going to import 5 years worth of data from Cumulus is a problem, so if anyone reading this has a script or method that will do the job then that would be much appreciated. I have not seen any specific mention of  Cumulus data iin the forums.

As far as wish-lists are concerned, I would really appreciate a tool that will permit "catch-up" data to be sent to WOW. Previously, I had my machine powered down at night to save energy, and Cumulus would perform a catch-up to WOW when restarted next morning. I note that the WeatherUnderground plugin already does this in WC, so could the developers consider doing the same for WOW? In the meantime I could run my Cumulus VM once every few days and let it update WOW, but this is far from ideal.

Stuart:

Welcome to WeatherCat and the users' forum. I am one who was happy to ditch running XP on my iMac for the very same reasons you state. Good move.
