• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

My brother sent me this link tonight. This is kind of pointless and takes some time to set up, but pretty cool nonetheless:

http://www.taiganet.com/

It actually downloads NWS data before it runs.
 
Holy crap -- now THAT is bizarre.

Any idea if the thing can be looped with auto-refreshing data? If so I'd make it my screensaver. As it is, it loops once and quits, which makes it more of a novelty than anything useful.

BTW, I'm moving this into Equipment since it's a weather software item.

Considering that I tried installing every .NET framework possible, and it STILL tells me that I don't have the right verson, I guess I'll just have to sit this one out :?

I went to Windows Update and installed the one that came up in the available updates list, and it worked.

I agree with Tim, it would make a nice screensaver if it would loop. Apparently the guy that put this together is still working on it.
 
Downloaded this, set it up (which takes a little while) and ran it: pure geeky awesomeness. I still can't believe some guy actually took time out of his life to make this, but man, he got everything right, down to the cheesy muzak and the voice-over. Good stuff -- and a fun way to get the weather report.
 
Just checked and a new version of this has been posted which allows looping. This might actually be kind of cool in a way, you could get an old, slow PC to just have this running somewhere in your office.
 
I downloaded that out of curiosity. It has no real purpose other than possibly nostalgia.

I apologize for not posting in some time.... life's been kid of rough lately.
