(I figured this would be a good place for this, since it's a touch more than a emulator/fan art.)
After some excruciating moments, I am proud to show you all a very special and daunting task that I am working on. With the help of Martin's great donation of the IStar files, I am happy to announce the start of an IntelliStar Weather Information Displayer. This "program", simply an Adobe Flash file, reads local forecast data from the NWS RSS feed and displays it in the format of the current look of the IntelliStar. Currently this program is simply the first slide, and only bits and pieces are completed. I hope to make it more slides (Local Obs, Regional/Metro conditions), and if I can find forecast data, that too. Maybe down the line I can add a customizable feature and release it.
This is
NOT a PowerPoint, so no manual data entry is required!
VERY, VERY MUCHO GRANDE IMPORTANT: I
will absolutely not take requests or accept PMs, IMs, e-mails, phone calls, text messages, or any communication wanting a custom copy. I'll get to that soon enough. I want it to work for me.
Failure to understand this means I will ignore you.Ready to take a peek? Are you sure? Ready? Here it is:
