WorldWeatherOnline crash

[jyves@videotron.ca]

Hi,
Since yesterday afternoon (19 hour ago) , my HS3 applications (Touch designer and UI's) are running very very slow, when they do.
After working for 19 straight hours, I just realize that it could be related to the crash yesterday night (I live in Montreal and is now 13h30 here ), on the WorldWeatherOnline web site and API site.
Since the HS application can no longer retrieve data from that site, the system seem to be almost lock trying and re-trying.
I am the only one experiencing this problem, and is there a way to avoid this type of lockup with real time data.

Thank you.

I have been tearing my bl***y hair out - uninstalling, installing, recovering Acronis images & threatening to throw Touch out the window!

Hopefully sanity will be restored this morning

Yeah; this morning all of my Firefox browsers (whether on Wintel or Linux) shut off Javascript stuff on their own (?).

Real PITA with the old Homeseer 2 and new Homeseer 3 stuff.

Here though I utilize NOAA, CWOP and my multiple weather stations such that one is not dependant on another in Homeseer.

Over the years though I have moved my automation dependencies away from the internet (well and my cell phones).

Same with my weather stuff. That is me though.

It is though convenient to use except when it doesn work.
