Title: weather plug in
Post by: lightspeed on March 08, 2007, 11:40:44 am
i think the weather plug in is great , but think their could be a improvement in it by adding a long rage weather forcast (seven day type ) by asking whats the long range weather ? (my cyberbuddy will do a long range type forcast it would be nice in ulrea hal 6 !![:)]

I tried this and ran into problems. It seemed like after a certain length, Hal wouldn't retain a text string. So with a lengthy report, it gave out after a few lines. I decided to wait until the Hal 6.1 update so we can use a "Would you like to know more" function to step through it day by day or something.

Perhaps if someone found a concise long range forcast, but the ones I found all had like a paragraph of text for each day. If you find an RSS or XML feed that has reports like "Tuesday will be sunny, Wednesday will be rainy" maybe I can get it to work.
