Why not just use this OLKeeper program?

Curt, it goes without saying that, no matter what you end up using, you're probably only going to get accurate results of your bandwidth usage if you can measure data usage on your router (or whatever gateway device you use).  You know what I mean?

I don't think you need a coding snack for this so much as a PDF editor that can accomplish what you want.  Have you looked into any PDF editors out there?

yeah, that's not what i was looking for though.

 i was hoping i could set sWeather to use some random proxy

-plk (February 02, 2013, 12:55 PM)

Ah, I see what you're after.  I don't think I'll add that, though, since I feel it's somewhat out of scope for a weather program.  Trying to maintain random proxy lists and such...sounds messy to me.

When I built my new computer a few weeks ago, it didn't have an optical drive either so I built a W7 installer on a USB stick and used that instead.  Perhaps that's an option?

Thanks for the new version skwire : useful additions.

-joiwind (February 01, 2013, 05:44 AM)

You're welcome.  =]

About the expanded view : what do you think about an option to show/hide columns ? I tried deleting column numbers from the config.ini on the ExpViewOrder line but they keep coming back ! 

-joiwind (February 01, 2013, 05:44 AM)

Just resize those columns you don't want to see to a zero-width.  That's how it's done programatically, anyway; the columns really don't go away or anything.

And, though I think this has been requested before : how about moon phases and moonrise and moonset times - or doesn't Yahoo do that ?

-joiwind (February 01, 2013, 05:44 AM)

I don't think that information is present in the data.  =[

I'm using sWeather with a network-proxy both at work and at home, atm, and it has worked ever since day 1 with those configs. I can pass the proxy servers without authentication, though.
I've always assumed it uses the IE/Windows proxy settings, but I never asked nor checked , but you could try that first, I guess?

-Ath (January 29, 2013, 09:16 AM)

That's right; I do remember changing that for you a while back.  plk, sWeather should use what you have set for your IE proxy.  Are you not seeing this behaviour?

Hi, plk, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.  I'll add your request to the ToDo for now.  I'd have to set up a proxy server for testing, though, unless there is a trustworthy source out there.
