Weather Station Project #20 - Found a Neat Resource for the Weather Display

About 2 months ago, a post was made to GitHub at https://github.com/kmkingsbury/raspberrypi-weather-station from Kevin Kingsbury.  This is a RPi based weather station, but has a twist in that there is an avid use of the Weather Underground API for his display.  I plan on tapping into that code for use with my RPi based Weather Display.  As you know, I plan on extracting all of my information for the Display from outside sources, particularly Weather Underground.  By using some of this code my life will be made simple.

BTW, Kevin has done a fine job with the backgrounds and displays for Austin, TX.  The last time I was in Austin was for a conference in 1996 where I gave a paper on Requirements creep and Software Design Patterns.  Memories.
