Well, I sort of got my new one set up now. It was about time for a |
| 22 |
fresh start. My last one was right after KDE4 came out. It's been a |
| 23 |
while and some config bug was bound to pop up eventually. |

I'm not sure what to change or what to change it too. When I searched a |
| 47 |
good while back, it was not certain how to do it. Maybe I need to |
| 48 |
google some and see if I can figure this out. I like the temp outside |
| 49 |
applet but really like the little 5 day forecast one. I can open the |
| 50 |
back door and see if it is raining, hot, cold or whatever. That doesn't |
| 51 |
help me much for tomorrow tho. ;-) |
| 52 |

Now that I think about it, I believe it was something at NOAA that got |
| 54 |
changed too. It's been a while so I can't recall all the details but I |
| 55 |
do recall it was not just me having trouble. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
If this next upgrade doesn't have a fix, I may do a bug search then |
| 58 |
google some. Heck, its been broke so long, I don't miss it much now. |
| 59 |
Of course, if it starts working again, I'd get used to it being back. ;-) |
