WeatherLink up

Hmm. Now the WeatherLink's working again. The only thing that I can see that is different is that David and crew are gone...

OK. It's not David's fault directly. But almost immediately upon arriving, he started working on his laptops in the kitchen, migrating from old machine to new, and of course he needed power so he plugged in one of these portables to the receptacle near the table, the socket to the left of the pantry door, the socket that, on the other side of the wall sits my server!

It seems like that his electronic gear was somehow interfering with the server USB. Now that the receptacle is empty, the USB connection is working fine again.

This doesn't make any sense to me. But it is a smoking gun. And that is useful.

It is particularly strange to me that there is interference since I rerouted the USB cable through the wall. I did that on Saturday mid-day...

Anyway. It seems fine now.

I'll ask people in the future to avoid using this plug.
