As far as I know he is 'scrapping' the Yahoo website to get the information. The problem with this is that all it takes for the whole thing to stop working again is a small change on the format/presentation of the page - and those happen very often, turning these type of weather widgets into a support nightmare.

I think it would be a huge mistake to put WindowBlinds on the chopping block. Sometimes it's not how much revenue an application makes that matters but the value of all that is associated with it. For instance, what does mostly everyone here still actively contributing to Wincustomize (in skins and in the forums) have in common? I would say they are all WindowBlinds skinners. Kill WindowBlinds and you lose them. And since people are what keeps this place alive (which in turn attracts

This is not just happening at Microsoft, it's happening at Apple too - plenty of bugs in the latest Catalina release as well. This happens because these morons completely misunderstood what RAD (Rapid Application Development) means and when it should - and should not - be used. I'm not the one claiming this, some of the guys who wrote the original Agile Manifesto ar

[quote who="DaveRI" reply="35" id="3761309"]I use a very basic little module that just shows temperature, humidity, and dew point.

Just a Heads up: the Weather.com feed has been down for the past few days. Luckily a few years ago I built some redundancy to the Winstep weather module in anticipation of stuff like this, so that it would automatically use other weather feed providers if the main feed (Weather.com) failed. Here is the problem: initially this meant multiple active feeds like NOAA, Weather.com, Google, Yahoo and MSN. Google killed their weather API years ago, then Yahoo placed their feed behind AUTH au
