Get the Picocomputer to tell you what it's like outside...

so you don't need to leave the comfort of the basement during winter:

I have a Weewx weather station hosted on a Raspberry Pi that has an RSS feed, so now the Picocomputer can fetch that feed and tell you what is going on. And with all the cool new ANSI modem stuff you can even make it all pretty.

It should be fairly easy to hack the code to grab any RSS feeds. Anyone know of a good Curling RSS?

Updated the code to default to Slashdot, so you don't need a fancy weather station to use this.

This looks great. I just took delivery of my bare board to start building my Picocomputer, and this is something I definitely want to try!
