Over the last couple of weeks I have been writing a MQTT to COSM bridge. Unfortunately (I think because of COSM) it has only been staying up and running for a few hours at a time.
I've just written a WeatherCat to MQTT bridge using the excellent WeatherCat Applescript interface.
MQTT allows lightweight publish and subscribe functionality and is used for process control, Arduino projects and lots of other fun things. The bridge I've written uses the open source MQTT tool Mosquitto
After upgrading to OS X Lion most of my software was working fine. But, alas, the first time I used Oracle sqlplus (for all my Oracle scripting goodies) it died with a segment fault.
I did have a full 10.2.0.4 client installed so I tried the 64 bit instantclient and got basically the same problem.
I have the same problem. Using the 32 bits solved the segmentation fault but for those that need to use oci with php, this doesn't work.
Have you any ideia?

I have heard that by installing the full 32 bit client software may also solve the problem. Give that a try.
I was about to un-plug the old Linux work-horse (being slowly replaced by sexy Mac Mini Server) and realised that I hadn't converted my Currentcost Envi to work on OSX.
I initially thought it would be pretty straight-forward but after a labourious and unusual CPAN update to my perl installation I hit a road block with talking to the Prolific
The objective was to move my xtide code (http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/xtide.html) which was running on an old Fedora Linux box and get it running on my Mac Mini Server running OSX Server 10.6.5 .
I contemplated using the Mac port put together by Lee-Ann Rucker (http://homepage.mac.com/lrucker/XTide/) put it didn't include
I haven't upgraded my Mac Mini to 10.7 yet. I haven't looked for a few months but originally there were quite a few problems with the USB-to-Serial drivers for the Weather Station. This in itself put a stop to the desire to upgrade.
I'll give it a crack soon though (or maybe jump straight to Mountain Lion!).
It's not just the tides for Merewether but its the tides for Newcastle (which, lets face it, is pretty close). So you could use it for Stockton, Nobbys, Newcastle Beach, Bar Beach / Cooks Hill, Dixon Park Beach, etc.
The Merewether Tides are generated using data massaged from the brilliant program XTide
yup, they are a lot of fun. When I was a kid I worked all smeumr to buy one of those weather kits from Edmund Science. My dad and I mounted it up on the roof and ran the wires down to my bedroom. I spent many hours learning how to forcast weather. Now with computers and 1 wire weather tech my weather hobby has hit a new high. Anyway I can't wait to see your weather site and maybe nfo's as well. It would be cool to set up a werather net between us three.
