Last night, when I almost managed to kill my server, I was playing with a service that I just discovered: Weather forecast in ASCII.
Well, almost ASCII. UTF-8 characters, to be precise. (And it was while messing with those xterm settings that I managed to enter a command using the wrong syntax.)
Still, it’s a nicely formatted three-day forecast suitable for text terminals. And it has pretty thorough world coverage.
I just hope the forecast holds up for Tuesday, as I’ll have quite a few errands to run that day and I’d prefer not to get stuck in a snowstorm.
