The weather docklet that comes with ObjectDock (free and Plus) is actually pretty useful. It also was a huge pain in the rear end because we're actually hosting the weather data ourselves. That's right, Stardock's actually a weather data provider now! Ack. So we've had to quickly learn how to handle a lot of weather data requests.I think this is it in a nutshell, mate.
I have no problems when I enter my details at the Accuweather site....its info is correctly on par with other weather server info that I use.
The problem seems with Stardock getting their own hosting up to scratch, which isn't functionong properly at all. Personally, I feel it should have been left in beta until it was up and running smoothly rather than being used as a marketing ploy to promote OD.
If the Accuweather website is able to provide me with an accurate current and long range forcast and I read the above mentioned then its pretty clear who should be quickly sorthing this out.
Aparrantly they are, and hopefully they will get it running smoothly...lets just hope that they dont decide to release the fix as OD v2, where we have to pay for a properly functioning enhancement that we were promised in the 1.9 version (but, as yet, haven't recieved).
This is starting to get on my goat now...but I'm gonna keep complaining and posting till the feed for Taipei, Taiwan is at least functioning.
If I was using the freeware version, I wouldn't care, but I like to have software that I purchased to work as advertised or promoted!!
Been almost a month now.... get ur act together Stardock!
