Star Wars Weather Forecast

Hello. I'm Tom, and I made this -- more than three years ago. No idea why it's suddenly turned up here; it doesn't exactly fit under 'hacker' or 'news'!

It did once have permalinks, but adding translations in 2010 messed things up and I never got around to fixing the code. (Do try picking a RTL language, though, I'm quite proud of how that works.)

It should (I think) store the city you've requested in a cookie for next time, though. Maybe. It's really old and dodgy code.

Still, full marks for YQL for putting up with all the weather requests they've gotten over the years...

Interestingly the Hebrew version prints Dagobah as Dagobash (דגובאש), and apparently Johannesburg, SA doesn't exist as a city.

+1 for permalinks as well, it would make sharing this with others a lot easier.

This is really awesome! Not hacker, but really geeky :) Is there any chance of you cleaning this up and fixing permalinks?
