Well we will try sending this again.
Hi all
Well my best friend from middle school is now working at the weather
underground. I will make sure that he fixes the page. He was the one who
notified me of it's existance. Which I promptly relayed to Gene because I
know he likes that sort of thing. Write me off list with suggestions for
the page and I will make sure that they get done. It's just a phone call
away.

Hello everyone. Wunderground.com now has a blind friendly weather page.
Check out:
http://braille.wunderground.com/
Just type in your zip code or city, and get the weather for your area,
without all the menus and advertizing. It's cool!
Have a good weekend.
Gene

Not bad.
Though one has to wonder what they had in mind putting up a graphical link
with no alt text on a page specifically aimed at blind users.
I still like telnet access to this same service as:
telnet rainmaker.wunderground.com
It's very quick if you know the three letter city codes you're interested
in: e.g. NYC for New York City, SFO for San Francisco and Oakland, DCA for
Washington, DC Area, etc.

I think someone goofed on te unlabled image. It is their logo appearing
once again. I thought it interesting that they also placed a broken image
map on the page.

I think rainmaker.wunderground is cool, I telnet in and get my
forecast. My previous message didn't go through because pine puts my linux
box hostname in the x-from header. My isp does. Is there a way to have
mail held for my linux box's address so when I come online, I can retrieve
it? If not, how do I supress the bounces so when I do come on, it delivers
my mail? I use a service called dynodns.net to map my dynamic address to a
hostname.

Hi Brent:
I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to, but, I'll take a
guess. Are you wanting people to be able to send to
<bharding@wbth.dynodns.net> without having to be logged onto the net?

That's what I would like to do. I might be switching isps soon, and would
rather switch everything to that address now before I get terminated
unexpectedly again.
I had pine set up to use my local smtp, and it sent as from
wbth.dynodns.net. Is there a way to make mail wait until I come on, or
does the mail system fail if the system isn't always there?
I'm using debian 2.2 potato.
