No-Nonsense Weather 0.6.0 for WebOS (Now Available)

Posted September 28, 2010, 6:00 a.m.

I’ve just submitted an update to No-Nonsense Weather for Palm WebOS, which will bring the version to 0.6.0. The new version has several new features and improvements to the application:

Adds weather alert content in-app (no more needing to click out to the NWS web site).
Adds local doppler radar (animated or static, decide in the settings).
Adds a refresh button.
Clarifies error text (usually errors happen because of NWS web site problems, not because something is wrong with the app).

You can see screenshots of the new version on the app’s information page here on Off on a Tangent.

As I mentioned, I have submitted the app to Palm and it should be included in the App. Catalog some time in the next two weeks (assuming they don’t find any problems). As soon as it’s posted I’ll update the entry here. If you have the previous version (0.5.0), your phone will give you the option to upgrade it once it’s published.

If you’re daring, you can download the source code (it’s open source under the GNU-GPL license) and package and install it using the Palm SDK.

Available now from the Palm App Catalog! Click here.

It is a fact, too—although a curious one—that the sale of small arms to gun enthusiasts or sportsmen produces a greater sense of moral outrage in western society than is produced by the sale to psychotic despots of weaponry capable of killing thousands.

I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one. . . . [But] from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.

Such is the nature of the understanding, that it cannot be compelled to the belief of anything by outward force. Confiscation of estate, imprisonment, torments, nothing of that nature can have any such efficacy as to make men change the inward judgment that they have framed of things.

How noble and good everyone could be if, at the end of each day, they were to review their own behavior and weigh up the rights and wrongs.

[Groos] well says that children are young because they play, and not vice versa; and he might have added, men grow old because they stop playing, and not conversely. . . .

Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow.

Death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate.
