Ready for Gnome 3.2? Welcome back the weather applet!

gee, they have been busy building in functionality.

Today's forecast: A hard wind's gonna blow. Then a hard rain's gonna fall.

Not impressed. The gnome 2 applet actually had the NWS (for US users) *verbal* forecast which is much more informative than a silly sunny/cloudy sign and a max/min temp

Why are they getting so excited about functionality that they lost and now are trying to restore?

Especially when a glance outside can accomplish the same thing?

Outside?? What are you gus3, some kind of weirdo??

That's what I like about Linux. We attract such a broad spectrum of people.

@TC, as someone who goes joyriding once a year in a front end loader, you are not want to talk.

gus,

Quoting: as [one] who goes joyriding once a year in a front end loader, you are not want to talk.

You are lacking is the esthetic beauty of that perch ... it's the smell.

My kids and grandkids are spread all over the world, from Afghanistan to Belgium, from Los Angeles to Portland Maine. At the top of my panel, I have the Weather Report applet and I have four different geographical locations set...each a location where someone I care for is. With one click I can see the immediate weather, radar map and 5 day forecast for each of them. While many people might find this preoccupation with the weather a sign of advancing age and a "get-off-my-lawn" attitude, I find it comforting...maybe somewhat of a link to these people.

I did actually laugh aloud when I read the title to the story.

Here...let me leak the title of my next blog on this posting.

"I fell down but I got back up."

Glance outside!?

Are you joking!

We're Linux G44ks (tm) -- and "evarbody" knows; we all live in our momas' basements. No !@#$%& windows (let alone Windows) for us!

Helios,

I agree completely. Why don't those gnome devs get off my lawn!!

Why don't those gnome devs get off my lawn!!

I'm thinkin' it's due to where the drive spike is located. That would pretty much immobilize me....I'm just sayin'....

With a heat index over 100 degrees the last two days I don't want to know from outside. Looking at the weather report is just plain depressing this year.

You must be out in the western U.S. like me Caitlyn, here in Phoenix the heat is just getting cranked up..;-)

Scoot, I'm in Raleigh, North Carolina, where the heat wave continues. Heck, it's a change after the record breaking tornadoes.

After 10 days of rain and chilly weather, it has been and should be pretty nice for a week in Michigan.

After 10 days of rain and chilly weather.....

When the temperature here in Austin is in the high 90's and reaches 104 with a humidity count of 77, I miss the Phoenix heat. At least spontaneous combustion provides some relief

Quoting:... in Austin is in the high 90's and reaches 104 ...

Be assured that we have sympathy for you just as you have sympathy for us when we have the sub-zero temperature in the winter. It is time to go outside for fresh air before the weather changes. :-)

Currently in NYC it is 68F with a dewpoint of 43F (thanks gnome applet!). Who said NY is a hell hole?
