Weather feed!
Today I got weather.com’s XML feed set up to run on this site. With a delay of up to 30 minutes, you’ll get to see my current weather conditions in the upper right hand corner of the page. I also made a little weather page for extended weather data. I can display more information than I have chosen to, so perhaps I will do that at a later time.
I also greatly improved WildBillBot’s weather command. Now, instead of simply displaying an error when multiple locations for a query are found (e.g. “Woonsocket”), it displays a list. This weather function will work worldwide. Aren’t I just a weather geek?
And while I’m writing about the weather, I think I need a home in Timbuktu. It was 102°F there when I checked their weather (late afternoon/early evening their time) today. I’ll check the weather for Timbuktu over the day tomorrow and post how hot it gets.

I like how you give props to weather.com with the graphic over there.
