Add in the need to convert ℃ to ℉ and you've got a pretty good justification for a weather indicator. I'm from México, and more often than not I get the question "is it too hot where you are?" or "what's the weather like where you're at?". So why waste screen real-estate, battery life and CPU cycles in a weather indicator? What I've found is that weather is a frequent small-talk conversation point, especially if you're far away from your interlocutor. Your smartphone for sure has a full-featured weather application.
Also there's no way to change the indicator to be a different color when the mic is live.Ī weather widget may not seem like much, after all you don't need constant updates on the weather and there's multitude of websites, widgets or even command line applications that can get it for you. For instance simple-bar does support displaying the mic level, but it takes a long time to refresh, that's why I display a notification when toggling to make sure that the audio is being muted/unmuted. This solution leaves much to be desired, but it's better than nothing. With the workflow in place I need a way to run it with a keypress (or a foot stomp in my case) and that's done like this: /usr/bin/automator ~/Library/Services/mic-toggle.workflow. Set volume input volume 75 display notification "Microphone is live." with title "Hot microphone" subtitle "People can hear you" end enableMicrophone Set volume input volume 0 without output mutedĭisplay notification "Microphone is muted." with title "Muted microphone" end disableMicrophone Back when I was using Linux I had a Lenovo Thinkpad and I used TLP. I'm not terribly concerned for battery life as most of the time I'm plugged in at my home office and control battery charge cycles with the awesome AlDente application. There are ways to be more battery efficient, but it's the eternal balance between efficiency and convenience. This setup will drain your battery faster as it runs multiple scripts continuously.
#WEATHER INDICATOR FOR LINUX UPDATE#
If there's interest I can update this post with more Linux detail. Here I'm documenting both setups, unfortunately I currently don't have access to my Linux config files.
I've managed to get both environments working as similar as possible, but needless to say some things work better in one than the other. I've grown extremely accustomed to these settings and utilities that I've decided to document them, in hopes someone else finds them useful as well.įor the longest time I used to run Linux at work, but circumstances are now that I use macOS.
#WEATHER INDICATOR FOR LINUX SERIES#
Over the years I've changed computers (desktops, laptops), operating systems (virtualized Windows under OSX, OSX, Linux, back to macOS), desktop environments and/or window managers (Gnome, KDE, i3, Gnome+i3) and I've developed a series of small utilities and shortcuts to make my life easier during work hours. In that time I've gone through vastly different setups, arriving to what I consider my ideal desktop setup for remote work. That particular applet just sits down next to the clock area and updates itself every 1 - 15 minutes.i determine the time lapse.I've been working remotely for more than a decade now. Nice of yahoo to discontinue that service.what else would you expect from a two bit crap company such as that anyway. What the hell is WOEID, I hear you ask.(WHERE ON EARTH IDENTIFIER)Ī WOEID is a unique 32-bit reference identifier, originally defined by GeoPlanet and now assigned by Yahoo!, that identifies any feature on Earth. I am certainly not after info for a business.My needs are far more mundane than that. Please contact me if you are interested in a custom solution for your business."" I have just been informed by the guy who gathers the info that " "It appears that WOEID information has been discontinued.
I use THIS in Linux Mint 18.3 to keep me informed about weather fluctuations at various places in another country to the one I reside in now.
