I've uploaded a new version of Radar Watch (2.3) that is compatable with the new urls from the NWS.

Let me know how it works.

Apparently the NWS has eliminated yet again the source of the radar images RadarWatch Downloads.

I will attempt to switch over to their new system in the next day or so. The animation part may not be full featured in the upcoming release.

I've uploaded a version that allows you to specify a non-standard port to connect to.

I've taken the opportunity to fix a couple annoyances in PocketPutty. It now:

• pops up the SIP on the connect dialog
• the whole dialog fits above the SIP
• the terminal window resizes to accomidate the SIP when activated
• New! You can now select the font size.

I will work more on it when I get some free time. I'd really like to incorporate horizontal scrolling.

This code is based on the 0.1 beta, which was the more stable version, but does not work on PPC2002. I've only tested this on my x50v WM5. Please have a fresh backup before trying this program.

Download the executable from:

EDIT: The latest version is now 0.02 (in the about box) and is available at the same link.

I've uploaded a new version of RadarWatch to the website. I haven't updated the webpages yet, but I have fixed the source of the images so they should work now.

Let me know if there are any lingering problems.

I have started to add the framework for the new images too, I'll try to incorporate them in my next release, whenever that is.

It seems the NWS has changed the source of their images to download and RadarWatch might not be working for the last week. Anyone else notice this?

(P.S. I'm not dead, just busy.)

I am sorry for the total lack of updates in a while. Life has gotten busy^2 this month. I hope next month I can make progress on something.

Things still on my agenda (but on the backburner):
-Keep trying to fix the keyboard problem for SearchToday
-do the VGA update for GSPlayer 2.24
-Release a beta version of my AstronToday plugin

Thanks for your patience, I just need to take a break before I can get to all this.

Many people are being linked straight to these blog entries, but I have created a variety of other software applications that can be found at http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~jmisurda/ppc/

By bypassing that page, you also miss my suggestion:
