In LPFU at 10:30 UTC shows "-8238 minutes ago, at 10:30 UTC,
the wind was blowing at a speed of 7.7 ".... the problem is of
course the - sign that shows (variable $minutes_old).

    sorry!

    You could create a control then this happens like if older then 5 days
    then data to old to be used..... just a thought

    I agree that something should be done about negative dates -
    the best thing would be, if we had a system that would
    automatically use the right precission, so that a recent
    report gets a string like '25 minutes ago, at XX:XX UTC' and
    an older report gets '3 days ago, at XX:YY UTC on August the
    3th'.

    We could even make it so, that one can choose to have a
    relative date (the 'x units ago') and an absolute date (the
    'at XX:YY UTC on ...') or both. I think that would be rather
    cool.

    It should also be possible to specify a different refenrence
    timezone than UTC, so reports could be shown in local time.

    Perhaps this could be coupled with the information about
    local sunrise and -set? It would be cool, if we could
    calculate the local timezone for a station automatically.
