New DIP module reduces process time

Published at 19:52. Filed under English version; no comment so far.

Thanks to warm-hearted contributor Mr. Johnson Lau, 7Timer is now enjoying a DIP module with minimum data transfering time. The new DIP module has been put into operation since 0206Z, we expect that the AP forecast will be released no more than 4h30m after the initiallization.

Lau's effort also makes the Weachart extension possible. I'm now working on a major upgrade of Weachart, aiming at a forecasting for more "region" (but possibly with reduced elements) , updates for four times per day, and a revised user interface.

The PFS for 2010 Annular Solar Eclipse will starts on January 5.
