The base URL:
http://www.google.com/ig/api?

This is the base URL which can be extended with the following parameters:

The Weather parameter:
weather=location

Where location can be either a zip code (weather=24060); city name, state (weather=woodland,PA); city name, country (weather=london,england); or possibly others. Try it out and see what response you get back to test your location.

The language parameter:
hl=ISO 639-1 Language Code

For example, to get the weather for Paris, France in French, one would use the following URL:
http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=paris,france&hl=fr

The Google Weather API is not an official public Google API so use it wisely. Also check out Yahoo’s Weather API for a more official, fully documented API.

Just had another project idea.  After using Twhirl and other Adobe AIR applications, I wouldn’t mind also making one for Remember the Milk. There have been a few requests for one and I think it would be an interesting technology to learn.  So you can add that to my long list of projects in the pipeline to do.

Another quick note.  I got my Google Appengine invite the other day.  I started developing Milk API with the Google Appengine development kit.  Just have a few more things to fix on that and I should be able to deploy it within a couple weeks.

Back to hanging out with Rachel and waiting for our Jimmy John’s to get here!

I am heading to Knoxville this weekend to visit Rachel for a few days. During my travels you can see where I am at via a new web service called Brightkite. You can see the places I have been here on the map:

I have 3 invites left so if anyone would like one, let me know.

It currently does not work with Verizon through SMS yet (they are waiting on Verizon to approve them) but I am still able to update via e-mail.

Well the undergrad part that is. I took my final exam today in my undergrad career. I can’t believe it has been 4 years already… Time sure does fly…

Graduation is next Friday and Saturday…
