I won’t use this. At least not right now. With national, and international reaches, I’m sure someone in Brisbane, Australia could care less if it is raining and 40 degrees here.
But perhaps I’m just not creative enough to see what kind of important uses can be derived.
What am I referring to? The National Weather Service has just released a data feed of weather information in XML format. This is great for forecasters, but I see no real use for me.
Nonetheless, here’s the info you need to know to implement this data on your website or web service.

If you decide to post that letter on your blog Mike let me know, I’ll link to it.

I agree with David. If there’s one thing you don’t want to buy used it’s a hard drive.

The change works in IE and the Mozilla 1.8 alpha builds (Firefox is based on Moz 1.7.3). It’s an old IE-only CSS trick that’s going into the CSS3 standard. For now you can use plain old overflow: hidden; as well.

Correction, I see it now for some reason, and I’m not using 1.0 (I upgraded at home but not here apparently). I am using FF 0.9.1 here.

I am seriously thinking about building my own lefty rip off of a parker guitar. I am fairly profficient with woodworking but have never built a guitar LOL

Yeah, just don’t get caught under a bridge when they empty their waste over it!
I hear that’s a pretty smelly disaster LOL

I do, James. I think that mistake came from it being such a looooong first round. Thanks for pointing that out.
