Hi Steve,

Allan has already replied that he will soon release higher
resolution forecasts models. (Sound of hands rubbing in glee!)

Mark Casazza, tells me that he close to releaseing a new
interface for the the Clear Sky Alarm Clocks (emails
that he sends out to requesters when clocks they are
interested in change.) Mark writes that his new interface
should address a bunch of feature requests that he's gotten
in the last few months.

I've recently re-written my clock-generation infrastruct to
provide much higher reliablity. I'm also working on getting
a rundant and failover-cabable link to the net to improve
the speed at which I update the clocks. Pretty cool stuff,
if you're a software weenie like me. But there are no visible
effects that users see -- assuming I got it right.

But I'm also working on 4 new clock features, none of which are
related to Allan's new stuff or Mark's new stuff. However, I prefer
to keep people guessing until I actually release them.
Since it now looks like I'll have to rewrite, yet again,
a major chunk of code to implement them. I dont want to hazard a
guess as to to when I'll be releasing them. But I can say they
are all features that people have been asking me for.

Basically, everyone is working at making the astronomy forecasts
even better. You just see the results in discrete steps.

Clear, and precisely forecast, skies
