Current Weather at Strickley

Saturday 11 December 2010

Thank you Leon!

After 4 days of lying dormant our office computer is back up and running. Many many thanks to Leon who brought it back from the brink of death.

It's not a very new or fast computer, but it only has to do two jobs - run the program (ImpelPro) that we use for Herd Management (including milk recording), and run Weather Display (which connects to our weather station and uploads the data to the website). The herd data is backed up regularly to an external disk, but the thought of reconfiguring the weather stuff filled me with dread.

And as luck would have it, when the computer was not responding to my entreaties, we had the coldest weather that we can remember - but have no record of it.

So please keep your fingers crossed that me and the computer keep ticking along together for a long time to come.
