  Yeah, I found that, but I ran into some issues.

1) The SyncWx deal REQUIRES an API from WeatherUnderground, but
they will ONLY make them available to folks who have home weather
stations. So, that leaves me out in the cold (no pun intended). I
do have an API with OpenWeather that I use with the Amateur Radio
D-Rats setup, but that won't work with this one. I used the program
before, and really liked it...but I could not find my former 
WUnderground API key.

2) I did get the Solar-Data one working...it's useful for me when
the topic turns to propagation on my ham radio traffic nets.

3) The CAPTCHA deal I saw from Lord Blackfair looked like the
original one, but not the one where it changed with every wrong
attempt. I basically made a bunch of batchfiles and SRC deals
that I compiled to BIN files, with different codes in each one,
then set up the Task Scheduler to change the data every 5 minutes
around the clock. The work on that wasn't hard, but it was tedious.

4) I'm going to set up the Word Of The Day and the Bitcoin Exchange
one later today. I was busy with other BBS and ham radio stuff
yesterday, and I've learned the hard way NOT to work on the computer
while one is fatigued.
