- spent an hour or so yesterday on a simple talking weather report script that uses the flite artificial speech app (tks to the developer who did the port!) and the elinks text-only web browser (which ports with no modifications!)...

- so i thought i'd share... i also crafted an entry for the Extras menu, named WxTalk.desktop (which like other menu entries, is saved under /usr/share/applications/hildon):

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=WxTalk
Exec=/home/user/apps/wxtk.sh
Icon=qgn_list_gene_default_app

- note that the script (wxtk.sh) is saved under /home/user/apps... you'll have to edit a couple lines in the script for your needs:

1. the URL for the mobile report (unless you live in Pinellas County, Fla.)
2. the first few lines of the parsed report (just to clean up the text)

- as the SuSE foks used to say: Have a lot of fun!

(the script is attached with the name wxtk.txt, but you can rename to wxtk.sh [or whatever])
