No, I don’t mean the current conditions where I live… I mean this stupid weather plugin I’m currently using. For some reason it just stopped displaying the weather… I’m not sure why. I’ve checked the plugin, the source where it’s getting it’s data, my Website, everything… But I still can’t figure out what is wrong. This has driven me to the idea of making my own weather plugin which will pull it’s data directly from the XML file here. That is the weather from the nearest weather station around my area. By making my own plugin I can eliminate the middleman and know that it’s going to work. It is going to take some time to code it though so for now the weather will be f**ked up. Sorry about that. It should be working again soon.
Until next time…

Seems as though its working. I’m guessing the plugin is using that xml file. Are you sure that the xml file just can’t be found some times? Like that weather.gov may be down every so often?

I’m not sure… I have a hard time believing that the weather could be non-available… It’s coming from my local airport so it’s a reliable source. Also, it’s a government site… I’m sure it doesn’t go down that often. Plus, I was still able to access the weather directly through the link I posted when it wasn’t working through the plugin.
