Richard's weather

22 June 2007

A photo of me in the rainThe weather in Leeds lately has been very random. Sunny one minute, torrential rain and thunder the next.

To help others know what weather I'm experiencing, I've made a handy ASP.NET control that displays the weather in Leeds. It shows a picture of me experiencing that weather and can also tell you the weather in several other places I've been to.

It can also change how the whole site looks based on the weather, but it doesn't do this at the moment. You can see this control on the right hand side of my blog's homepage.

    I like this. There's probably a little app here. Let people put their own photos in and put it on their own sites. A bit like those houses where the little man or woman would pop their head out. Although if you made one of those with a miniature version of you and scrambledheads, I'd buy it.

  • Ian, I might try and sell it to you later. It's written as an ASP.NET control and would be easy to plug into any site. Shouldn't be too hard to re-write it in PHP either so it'd work on your site. I was in London yesterday while the great flood was happening up North. I checked my blog to find that I was experiencing heavy rain in Leeds. I really struggled to get back here on the train, but I did okay.
