New release of CurrentTemp

CurrentTemp v3.0 has now been released.  The biggest change is the RSS feed source.  It now pulls data from Weather.com instead of WeatherBug.com (which was giving me inaccurate results).

New version of FtoCK, new release – CurrentTemp

I have updated FtoCK and released it as version 2.1.  This release fixed some minor display issues in Safari as well as trimming some code for faster load times.

I would also like to mention the release of a new applet I made, CurrentTemp.  CurrentTemp is a simple applet formed around a CURL based RSS parsing function.  Simply put in your zipcode and it will tell you your current outside temperature in °F, °C and °K.  The data is provided by WeatherBug.com’s RSS feed.  Being CURL based, you can also input your zipcode without using the form field (useful so you can bookmark the applet and have it open to your zipcode automatically).  To do this, simply type in “?zip=12345″ after the rest of the URL for CurrentTemp, where “12345″ is your zipcode.  Enjoy!

Good record keeping for the win!

Just got done busting heads dealing with a vendor that claimed they didn’t owe us anything, but I knew better and proved it with 6 month old records from when the original transaction happened.  Now they are fixing the issue AND issued an apology.  It feels good.

Our Little Boy

Diapers, they don’t bother me.
Waking up at 1, 2 or 3.
Tethered to home so I can be
Near the ones I call family.

My son is small
And so am I,
But it seems I’m a giant
In his eyes.

I’m so proud
Of our little man,
He’s growing strong
And soon he’ll be able to stand.

On his own,
They grow up so fast.
Leaving home
To start his own.

But for now I will
Simply enjoy,
All the moments
With our little boy.
