Well, my brother asked me today when I ever cared about the weather.. I
guess I don't.. but I really love the mythweather module just the same!
One of the things I noticed, however, is that msnbc.com is sometimes slow
in coming back with the weather.. The main reason is that mythweather gets
the information when launched..
My suggestion is that mythweather take the information from a text file /
whatever that is stored locally.. then, scheduled processes could update
that file. This would make the mythweather module nearly instantaneous..
For me, the weather only really needs to be updated, say, once every 10
minutes.. realistically, it's only getting updated that often when one
considers the msnbc site's sources anyway..
Thoughts?
