All your hard work is greatly appreciated and yes you do make us happy. I have been running ssCapture and ssMonitor for over two weeks and find it very useful. I am looking to the release of your ssServer software and can't wait to try it.
I'm glad you like it! I am holding off on doing a wide release of the server until I can settle on a feature set.
I need to get a consensus:
1) I am considering removing the database completely and have ssServer submit it's samples to Weather Underground (WU) exclusively. I might remove the mini-website feature too. Your thoughts?
You would have to download a CSV file from WU if you wanted to run special reports.
2) I want to turn ssServer into a Windows Service that runs invisibly in the background on your computer. I will probably add a companion program used to configure ssServer and maybe display the last sensor readings. The companion program can be run continuously or only as needed. The service would run just fine without it.
A service would survive being rebooted when Microsoft automatically updates Windows in the wee hours of the morning - you would not lose more than a couple minutes of sensor data on WU, even if you got logged out of your windows session. It would also continue running if you log out, or someone else logs in to your computer.
I think the transition from desktop app to Windows Service is important, so that is tops on my list. I really want to wrap this thing up quickly, so that is my motivation for paring down the feature list to the minimum everyone wants and can actually use.
Feedback is appreciated!
