Martin, many thanks for all your hard work on the Weathertime plugin,
which I find to be one of the most valuable of all the 3rd party
plugins.

I know that you're a busy man, and I hate to appear ungrateful, but it
seems to me that there are only two relatively significant shortcomings
in the plugin.

One is the frequent occurrence of the 'Wind_Hash' missing string error
appearing in the log.  This means that, whenever I look at the log, I
find that it is full of these unhelpful entries, hiding other
(potentially more important) log entries.  It does seem, to me, that
this is probably similar to the 'precipitation %' problem, where the
wind direction tag in the incoming data is being left empty.  Could this
be relatively trivial to fix?

The other problem, and I know that the fix for this is more
complicated, is the 'blocking' polls of the Wunderground server. 
Whenever the Wunderground server goes down (which appears to be becoming
a relatively frequent occurrence), or my Internet connection fails (very
common, here in Philippines), my server becomes very unresponsive.  At
the moment, I have to turn all my Squeezeboxes on whenever the
Wunderground server becomes unreachable, in order to be able to use the
computer.

It would be very good if these issues could be addressed.
