I use THIS in Linux Mint 18.3 to keep me informed about weather fluctuations at various places in another country to the one I reside in now.
I have just been informed by the guy who gathers the info that ""It appears that WOEID information has been discontinued. I'm pursuing an alternative. Please contact me if you are interested in a custom solution for your business.""
I am certainly not after info for a business......My needs are far more mundane than that.
What the hell is WOEID , I hear you ask....(WHERE ON EARTH IDENTIFIER)
A WOEID is a unique 32-bit reference identifier, originally defined by GeoPlanet and now assigned by Yahoo!, that identifies any feature on Earth.
Nice of yahoo to discontinue that service.....what else would you expect from a two bit crap company such as that anyway....
SO....what can i use ?
That particular applet just sits down next to the clock area and updates itself every 1 - 15 minutes...i determine the time lapse. It is simple & it works (or it used to)
