Has your WeatherPanel stopped updating? You're in the right place!

What

Updated WeatherPanel.dll files that address the "show stopping" issues that have arisen this year - moon phase failure and authorization failure. The specific fixes include:
* Moon phase tables through 2008
* Authorization via a hosted server (99% uptime)
This solution is superior to WP-Auth (host rerouting) - it will work with ActiveSync, proxy servers, etc. - just as before the MarsWare site went down

Why

First: To provide uninterrupted service for the hundreds of loyal WeatherPanel users. To accomplish this, I went ahead and purchased a domain and two years of hosting services to provide WeatherPanel authorization.

Second: To offload the traffic from my company web server. If our server were to go down for any reason, I would very quickly become the bad guy. I'd rather be the good guy By providing a hosted authorization service, I can guarantee uninterrupted weather updates.
