New Design is Live in the Rain!

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

As you can see I’ve made the new design live.

At first your internet browser might get a little confused as it will have cached a few settings and things. If the webpage looks REALLY messed up on your browser with the new changes, then please restart your computer first to ensure that the browser has flushed all the settings from the old website out. When you come back, it should look like it’s supposed to.

Thank you all so much for providing all the great feedback in the “beta” thread. It helped a lot. And the offer remains open to please leave feedback. I will continue to make small tweaks as well as add some stuff that I haven’t had time to get to. Just leave any comments at any time on any thread and I’ll see them and incorporate them in.

Enjoy the Rain! It’s going to be here for a while!

NOTE: Along with this update comes an update to the back end of the system. Live Data will return at around 8AM Monday morning.

UPDATE: Apologies again for the long delay in getting live data back, my poor little weather station is under powered now that I have nearly 400,000 records to sift through since November 2005!

That said, everything is up and running now and, more importantly, is in a stable place on the backend so there should not be any more delays in data.

As I’ve mentioned in the comments. I’ll still be tweaking the look and feel of things but nothing major. The Forecast needs to be bigger… and I’ll add in some more content over the next few weeks.

Looks like we’re getting some more sun this week than we were anticipating before! Enjoy it! :D

A Rainy week ahead

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Looks like we’re finally get some of that good’ol liquid gold coming down this week.

I don’t know about you folks, but I’m glad for it! I don’t know how the rest of Canada can put up with all this white stuff for months on end. At least the rain can be exciting when it comes with wind! Maybe I’d feel differently in a Blizzard. ;)

I’ll be making the new website live in the next few days, keep the great comments coming at http://www.alberniweather.ca/developer

Alberniweather 2.0 Beta Test

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Hi everyone.

I’m in the midst of updating the look and feel of the website!

I have a “beta” version of the website available here:

http://www.alberniweather.ca/developer

Go on over there and leave a comment (the two are completely seperate, no registration required) and let me know what you might like to see more or less of…. or just to tell me how good or terrible it looks! :D

See you there, enjoy the Sun!

A Cold March!

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

Just saw a forecast for the rest of the winter and into early spring. Looks like the models are telling us that we can expect a continuation of the cold weather. Probably means more snow, though i can’t see us getting anywhere near what we had in December.

We should get a few beautiful days in the next few. I’ll take the cold over the fog any day of the week! :)

A little more snow…

Friday, February 6th, 2009

Looks like a little bit more snow can be expected over the next few days. But really, it seems quite, well, boring, weather wise.

I wonder if we’ll get any big blows in our spring transition time…

Oh, and you’ll all be happy to know that testing is done for the new version of weather software, today should be the last time you see any delays in weather data for the forseeable future. (Unless of course we get a big blow and the power goes out, ya ya! :D)
