Fuck This Weather
The weather should be simple, so it fucking is.
I love The Fucking Weather, but got tired of its shortcomings. I made a better fucking weather app.

But, great points—population size is a much more relevant sort than state name. Also: abbreviations or short names are useful.
Thanks.

Some of the random fucking places don't work - Miami Fucking Florida had question marks for the forecast temps (the fucking sun/cloud images were visible though). So did Rawlins Fucking Wyoming. There were also some other random fucking places that had the same problem. Also it's trivial but could the maps be draggable/movable?
I love that Carrollton Fucking Kentucky right now has some lame-ass fucking mist shit. The "what the fuck" in the search bar, the favicon. Nice fucking work.

Manhattan

Hah, no. Legal threats would be a bucket of lulz. I made a blatant rip-off, but only because I love it so fucking much.

I'm fucking disappointed that I can't be told what the fucking weather is like where I live, which is in motherfucking Australia. Any chance international weather will ever be added?

I searched by motherfucking zip code and got my fucking weather first try. Too bad it doesn't work internationally though. That's fucked up.

0 fucking degrees Fahrenheit and look outside the fucking window if you want to know the fucking weather
Very fucking cute, but I don't think it's ever been that fucking cold here, and it's fucking dark outside, so I can't see the fucking weather.

Question mark for current fucking temperature: try a neighboring zip code (the DB is incomplete, but it is slowly filling in the blanks).
Question mark for fucking forecasts: blame those asswipes at NOAA (some locations aren't returning forecasts, I'm not sure why).

I think the database of ZIP codes is finally complete. Please let me know if any locations consistently return incorrect or incomplete data.
Also: the forecasts from NOAA have the high and low temperatures reversed in the evenings and I do not understand it. WTF?!

I fucking am fucking not in fucking Lockport, New Fucking York; not even fucking close. And after you fucking asked for my fucking location in fucking Firefox too. I'm in fucking To-fucking-ronto, and don't you fucking forget it. Fuck you, you fucking fuck, if that doesn't break the fucking guidelines for fucking maintaining a fucking healthy, fucking respectful fucking discussion by fucking focusing fucking comments on the fucking project - not on the fucking fucker that fucking fucked it.

I saw that on my phone, too. The first request was permission to let Safari use my location, the second was to let the site use my location.
There’s nothing sneaky happening behind the scenes. Geolocations are stored for four weeks so I can track usage patterns and ensure abuse doesn't occur (it’s a bit heavy on the server). http://www.google.com/search?q=great+circle+sql
After four weeks they disappear into the ether. http://fuckthisweather.kerplow.com/privacy

Fucking awesome. This is a fucking great interface for getting the weather. Fucking blows weather dot fucking com out of the water. Any chance you can make a fucking PG version so I can send it to my mother?
Seriously - love the website, I'd love to spread it around, but I wouldn't show my relatives unless you make a nice version.

I’ve been thinking about the reuse potential. Form and function are pretty well separated out, so I could have a regular weather app (vulgarity free) running on the same code.
I’m busy till the end of the month.

From the comments above, it sounds like on an iPhone it can figure out location automatically and it wants to do that on Firefox too - but I'm not getting an option to do that on my G1. Is that because it's not asking, or because I fucked up some setting on my end?

nickmark—the geolocator is JavaScript-based. it should work on your G1, but I might have not built it right.
