I don't think keeping that server running at the local NWS places has the 
highest priority, Matthew.  My service (as the weather plugin for gkrellm 
see's it, I'm not using gnome) from KCKB is intermittent, down for 2-3 days 
at a time, working ATM.  Presently 37F, 93% humidity.  Overcast, wind N 3, 
chill 35F dew point 30F I guess, the shorthand gkrellm uses (or the NWS) 
leaves a bit to be desired.

You might try that plugin for gkrellm as you can assign it to about any NWS 
facility with the web based station ID function.  If your local one is down, 
try another to test your install.  If another one works, then its probably 
just the local one not even knowing its crashed.
