Recorded daily weather on sheets of paper or in a notebook from when I was a child as despite being brought up in a city I found weather fascinating. I did not have enough knowledge to get into it as a professional career, and my notes relied on instruments sold for gardeners, not to quality needed for professionals. |
|||
On retirement, I bought myself a Fine Offset Weather Station, used since early 2009 (although some parts have been replaced). |
|||
Started using Cumulus 1.9.2 (build 1017) just because I wanted something that ''would produce web pages that I could experiment with'' (as I had decided to learn HTML 5, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP and MySQL; initially because I thought it gave me a saleable skill for my retirement). People described me as "Stupid Fool with Weather Station" and that made me register as SFWS! To thank Steve Loft, I agreed to finish off work started by others on documenting the original Cumulus software. |
|||
For a few years, as a full-time carer, I was away from home (and weather station), and (as a way to unwind from those tiring emotionally and physically) I learnt about '''METAR usage in all countries of world'''. |
|||
When I got back to my home, after the last of my relatives died, I became busy with outside pursuits, abandoning usage of any computer. |
|||
I have moved twice since, so packing up, home-hunting, and subsequently unpacking plus home renovation made me take another break from running weather station and from working on this Wiki. |
|||
I eventually brought a property with garden, which had been neglected by elderly previous owner, where I hope to see out my days. Consequently, the property required a lot of remedial work to bring it back to being a home! The Covid-19 pandemic has made my plan to employ contractors to remedy the serious faults, leaving me to struggle alone. |
|||
When I decided to test out MX, I documented my experience and later documented my swap to Raspberry pi. Both Wiki pages would benefit from someone else making them easier to follow. |
|||
The newer features of MX are irrelevant to me, so someone else will need to finish off the MX documenting. |
