My hometown WOEID

Well, maybe, not my hometown ID, but actually my home.
WOEID: ARDF0127
Incidentally, installing the applet on Mint Qiana was a piece of cake.

Stuff I miss on Cinnamon/ MATE


Simply things, no big deal, but nevertheless...

  • Global Menu solution
  • Google Calendar integration

The Global Menu one seems to be a little hope that some day I'll be able to get one up & running (easily) on MATE; on Cinnamon there are no news so far.
As for the Google Calendar integration (with the Panel's calendar), I have no news  whatsoever.

Weather Applet on Cinnamon


Yeap, I had to, I can't live without knowing how hot and crappy is outside...
Got it here Weather 1.7.3 Applet (where else, right??...)
Installation is pretty straightforward, except for a belched error message, that seems to be having no side effect what so ever.

 *** You need to restart Cinnamon ( Alt-F2 => "r"  ) ***

After that I got the Buenos Aires "weather code" from here: 

http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=buenos%20aires

 And then setup the Applet ot use it:
gsettings set org.cinnamon.applets.weather@mockturtl woeid ARDF0127

And thats the whole of it.
Seems to be working welll, although the refresh of the updates seems a little slow.
