       Thank you for introducing me to graph.no, rj45!
       
       I wrapped it in a shellscript to use as a replacement for sdf's broken 
       weather command:
       
       ~~~
       $ cat .local/bin/wttr
       #!/bin/ksh
       case "$1" in
                *) finger $1@graph.no ;;
       esac
       # Purpose: View local weather by fingering graph.no.
       # Use: wttr newyork [or your city]
       #      wttr [no argument] for help
       ~~~
       
       If you  prefer imperial units to metric, replace line 3 with
       
       ~~~
                *) finger ^$1@graph.no ;;
       ~~~
       
       I named it wttr because I used to curl wttr.in for weather reports back

       I named it wttr because I used to curl wttr.in for weather reports back 
       when I had a computer with a wider than 80-column display, so it's a 
       memorable name for me (use: curl wttr.in/nyc). If you want to be able to
       query either source, you could add a flag to the script I guess.
       
       You guys are the best!
