WOTW server upgrade
The server upgrade is complete.
I switched from a shared host to a dedicated VPS.
This is a bit more work on the management side, but results in better control over the webserver.
Also better security, better uptime, and better speeds to get real time wind.
Alot more space is available, which means I'll be able to store more wind history data.
I can also host unlimited domains so new projects will be easy to implement.
Cost is about 3x per month, but not breaking the bank (yet).
Here is a week of stats - Uptime improvement is very significant.
Water temperatures
Not sure how long this rule has been around, but comes to mind each spring: The 100 degree rule.
Found a reference online, as related to water skiing:
"A good rule of thumb to follow for safe waterskiing is the "100 degree rule." This means the air temperature plus the water temperature should be greater than or equal to 100 degrees F to be skied comfortably. You can certainly ski in temperatures lower than the combined 100, however, most people feel that it becomes uncomfortable at that point."
Features to add
Features/fixes:
Add timestamp to map page so you can see the last updated time
Animate wind over last X hours, to see wind trends
Fix timestamp off by one hour issues.
