Can you help trouble shoot Sharper Image Internet Weather Station EC-WS115?

Hi Ed,

I've been working in professional software development since the very early 90's. Worked a lot on the IBM AS/400 midrange computer, and programmed for DOS and Windows as well. In the past years I've done a lot of Internet stuff (mainly Java/JS) and currently I'm an operations manager for a software company. I don't program that much anymore myself, but am now using my skills to look at the frontend, do some testing, look at the backend, test some more, and then often I'm able to tell the developers exactly what is wrong in their code without even looking at it.

Based on this technique, I can say that the story of a server being moved is baloney. A server either works or it doesn't, it doesn't start sending out wrong details just because somebody already wrapped it in bubblewrap :-)  The only way this would make sense would be if the actual life server was already unplugged, and some backup-server would take over that has a wrong system date or some older code on it that is doing wrong calculations. But again, when I test the response that comes from the server and run it through that epoch converter, I do get a valid date. So I have to conclude that there's nothing wrong with the server.

Now please tell me, where did you find that epoch converter that responded with the same date as the weather station display?

Thanks,
