[opensuse] WeatherBug Follow Up
The other day, someone asked if Weatherbug was ever going to be ported to Linux. I was doing some work on my mother's 9.2 system today preparing it for an upgrade to 10.1 or 10.2, while my rugrats were working with her on gingerbread houses. I noticed she had KWeather on her desktop. I believe this would do everything needed for WeatherBug. http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/suse/2006/snapshot1.png If you look in the bottom right of the kicker (system tray) there's the weather. Of course it is in farenheit since we're in the US. You can also have it in Celsius. I'm not sure if Kelvin is supported, though. -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't imagine there's many places that report their weather in Kelvin. ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Apart from being impossible, there are _no_ "degrees" Kelvin. There are Kelvins, like Volts, Watts, etc. And it really would be logical, in an engineering sense, at least, to start a scale which had at least one clearly defined endpoint at that point. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Have you ever been to Canada? I'd swear I can remember a few winters there where it was at least -7 Kelvin :-P C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There is no need. They may report it in any units they want, the applet just has to do the appropiate conversion. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I've used KWeather in the past, as well as ForecastFox. Personally, however, WeatherBug is just too annoying for my taste. On Sat, 2006-12-02 at 19:30 -0800, Kai Ponte wrote:
