Dear Steve,

I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate you on the fantastic work and effort you have put into developing and launching the Fantastic Cumulus Weather Station Software.
I use a Watson W-8681 Weather Station and your Cumulus Software.
Using the built in Upload Facilities to Wunderground, Twitter, APRS & PWS is fantastic and saves using seperate programs. The Website templates and Graphs with FTP Upload is also very useful.
I used Weather-Display for one Week and had no end of problems. But to date, the only problem I have had with Cumulus was due to an error by me, I accidently set the realtime upload to every 1 second which caused a Winsock Error. My mistake.
It really is great software. I cant thankyou enough.
My suggestions for next version would be, Upload to WeatherBug, Built in Webcam Capture and Remote viewing software. But those are requirements I would only expect from Paid Software.
You have done a commendable job with this software and you should be equally rewarded.

Thanks Steve

Hello, Jason.

I hadn't heard of WeatherBug, so I had a quick look, expecting it to be like Wunderground etc, but it seems to be a commercial operation who want you to use adware or buy commercial software to view their data? And it seems to be US only? I guess I'm looking at the wrong WeatherBug?
Built in Webcam Capture
I don't think so. Cumulus is for weather data, and I don't want to start adding things to bloat it with functions that aren't directly involved in capturing and displaying weather data.
and Remote viewing software.
Yes. I started doing something along these lines some time ago, but didn't get very far. Cumulus 2 will definitely have this eventually.
