I apologize, I really should have specified that. I'm enjoying KDE 3.5.10.

I figured as much, which is why I mention that data is available from
_somewhere_ for my city.

I will probably move to KDE 4.1 when in October when my distro
stabilizes on that version, or to 4.2 when it arrives. At that time I
will look into implementing additional services if need be. It is not
an urgent task.

Good point! For winter, though, a [Rain||NoRain] indicator would be nice!

Thanks for the info. There's a cold beer waiting for you next time you
are in town.
