Cooler than Cool

There's a handy little feature on the Ubuntu desktop which tells you what the local weather is like. It saves looking out of the window.


Right now though it is telling me that it is -10°c (= some bloody cold temperature in Fahrenheit) outside but the 11.1 km/hour wind from the east makes it feel like -15.6°C (= an even bloody colder temperature in Fahrenheit). That's not so cool... or rather it's too cool. Cooler than cool... f***in' freezin'.

God yeah, would be awful to have to get up and do something as drastic or energetic as look out of the window to see what the weather is doing. Another point for technology! What with weather reports on your desktop, facebook (whatever that might be) for keeping in touch with people, e-mails for working, one might never leave the house again. Now if only the beer man could be convinced to drop by regularly...

I don't like the ones that tell me how cold it feels. Perhaps next time you could tell us about one new super dooper gadget that lets us choose the temperature.
