Hi all. For those using linux who have an interest in seeing current weather conditions, I've written a bash script that gets the weather info from braille.wunderground.com, and displays the current conditions. I called the script "conditions". you just put it in a directory in your tath, run chmod 755 on the file, and you are rready to go. You must have the lynx browser installed in order to use this. You just type: conditions Ames Iowa or some other city state combination, or a zip code, and it displays the current conditions for that location. I've included the script at the end of this message. Have fun!
