Remote control of your Cumulus PC
I was thinking about all the weather peeps on here today and realised that you may be interested in something I blogged about earlier in the week elsewhere. Even better I am giving away a free copy of the software.
It's basically LogMeIn which is remote desktop software (I actually run it on my weather stations). I can then connect to it from any PC (e.g. at work, friends house, etc); really handy if there is a problem. Anyway, no big news there, but I did review the addon to it -- LogMeIn Ignition which allows you to use your iPhone/iPad/Android/Windows phone/tablet to connect to it. Very handy in case of a problem and you are out and about.
So, shameless plug for the article at http://theonlycog.com/2011/08/22/logignition/
LogMeIn has a free PC version (which I use) and Ignition is chargeable (but I have one copy for iOS to give away)

Well I use TeamViewer and the android version (for tablets and adroid-phones) is complete free of charge , logmein has no free androd app as far I can see it costs 10.39 EU.

Re: Remote control of your Cumulus PC
I like Windows Live Mesh for remote desktop login/control. It also does my data file backup to another machine.

Ignition is the app for your phone/tablet device
I've been using LogMeIn Free for years and it's great. I only just tried the Ignition app

Re: Remote control of your Cumulus PC
Are any of the above an alternative to GotoMyPC?....sometimes I need to access my PC from work, but at £15 a month, I feel it's not worth the money for how little I use it

In the course of my business, I've used them all. PCanywhere (worked well over modems in the the 90's ), VNC, RDP, Teamviewer and Logmein. I reckon Teamviewer is the best these days.
Interested in building your own Weather Station? Maybe check out the WeatherDuino Pro Project Here

Re: Remote control of your Cumulus PC
I hate the constant reminder TeamViewer gave me about buying the product. I know they offer a commercial version, and also a free one, but do I need to be told every time I use it!
