Hello. I'm Tom, and I made this -- more than three years ago. No idea why it's suddenly turned up here; it doesn't exactly fit under 'hacker' or 'news'!

It did once have permalinks, but adding translations in 2010 messed things up and I never got around to fixing the code. (Do try picking a RTL language, though, I'm quite proud of how that works.)

It should (I think) store the city you've requested in a cookie for next time, though. Maybe. It's really old and dodgy code.

Still, full marks for YQL for putting up with all the weather requests they've gotten over the years...

Interestingly the Hebrew version prints Dagobah as Dagobash (דגובאש), and apparently Johannesburg, SA doesn't exist as a city.

+1 for permalinks as well, it would make sharing this with others a lot easier.

This is really awesome! Not hacker, but really geeky :) Is there any chance of you cleaning this up and fixing permalinks?

Bristol, UK was destroyed by the Death Star long ago...

You have to enter it without the comma.

Told me that Bristol was Alderan

I assume that was the point?

My favourite bit is the Konami code.

I can't get it to trigger. Even after reading the source code. :(

check on the upper right corner after you did the Konami code

Cool site! You have Australia's country code as AS - it's AU. (eg type Melbourne Australia to replicate). Cheers!

Different standards use different abbreviations. Here, Tom is using FIPS: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIPS_country_codes.

If it were my site, I'd probably also use AU (and AT), though.

And it shows Austria as AU which should really be AT.

This is sweet. I just wish there was an option to link directly to a particular city.

There's no use in an app where you have to look up the readout to interpret the result. That means the potential market for this app are SW geeks who have memorized the climates of planets and moons in Star Wars.

Analysis: sizeable market.

Love this. +1 to permalinks, and would love to see better typography -- IMO replacing Tahoma with Open Sans Regular, or Light would go a long way. And perhaps a serif font for the planet name...

Damascus is currently like Tatooine: 36 degrees C and fair.

Nice but please push the chosen state to history.

loved the Utini !

this made me smile, thanks! :)

Fun! Missing permalinks.
