Fuck you, Conky. All I want is the weather, properly displayed. I don’t care where you get it, or really what it looks like–you can make the fucking font sky-blue-pink for all I care–just display it properly formatted. Use NWS, use Yahoo!, use Wunderground…I don’t care. Update every hour, every half hour or every two fucking minutes…I don’t care. Display in Fahrenheit, or Celsius, or fucking Kelvin…I don’t care. Use Perl, use Python, use Visual-bleeding-jesus-Basic…doesn’t matter. I have installed necessary fonts and a few that might not have been necessary. I have created necessary directories, checked permissions and edited paths. I’d edit the XML if there was anything in it that looked even remotely like what I need to do. I now know the weather code for my town by heart. We were getting on so well; you didn’t mind when I added all of those mount points, or when I figured out how to get you to display the GPU temperature as well as CPU. I thought you loved me…why can’t you just do one more little thing for me? The information is being downloaded and displayed, so all you have to do is format it correctly. We’re almost there. Why are you doing this to me?

P.S. sudo apt-get remove –purge damned-annoying-cat-1.0

Yay for progress…NOAA changed their domain name, so I did, too, and we have current conditions now. I’ve spent too much time on this (considering it’s not exactly mission-critical), so forecast will have to wait for now, I think.
