Polling for Rain

Only a couple of progress points to report at this time.

First is the use of the great weather api at www.wunderground.com to get current conditions at a latitude/longitude. This is perfect for the purpose of having near-realtime weather conditions at the location of an entity.

The second area of progress  was in writing a multithreaded scheduler. At the environment-simulation level, the scheduler will handle polling of 'local' weather conditions etc, as mentioned above. At the information-processing level, it will be used to queue 'packets' of work to be sent for processing. Assuming we can figure out how to integrate the results into the current 'thought-process' as they are completed, this should give us simple multi-tasking.
