Well, a couple weeks back my xfce4-weather-plugin decided to no longer function. I'm getting No Data notifications when I launch it. Oh, darn. Usually, an update of the software solves the issue, but Slackware has been a bit slow to push out an upgrade for this app; probably they are more focused on Slackware 15 at the moment.
Anyway, I posted about this on an already existing thread at LinuxQuestions.org/Slackware; a member there suggested that I just use this in CLI:
$ curl wttr.in
And that was pretty fine, but I adjusted somewhat. Instead of using it from the command line, I created a URL launcher in my sidebar panel which, when clicked, opens a tab in the default browser with the weather output...
Pretty neato, huh? You can also choose your locale and other modifiers to add to the link. In my case I chose a local int'l airport near my home and used the /u modifier to display in Imperial measures not Metric. YAY!

In its pre-release-rolling-release version, slackware is describing itself as slackware 15.0. There's life in the old dog yet!
