If the actual temp is 30+, it's bearable indoors with the air-cons off during early morning and early evening. So we try to be conservative where we can. During the summers, our electric bill skyrockets because of the air-con use. Yeah, but the reason for both is because the actual temp is what you experience indoors, and the 'feels like' temp is what you'll experience out doors. Don't tell me what the temperature is and then the "feels like" temp. Padgeman, thanks for the weather site link. I just didn't know what the opposite was for colder climates although I have heard of 'wind chill' before, but I just never understood the context. 2-3 weeks ago the heat index here was 47.2C (~117F), fun times indeed. I know what heat index is as I live in Hong Kong and during the summer the heat index is on average 40C/104F+. It may be 95˚F out, but if it's particularly humid outside it could feel like it's much hotter, etc.īasically they use "Feels like" as a place holder so they don't have to switch between Heat Index and Wind Chill, which would change depending on the season/locality/etc. what it feels like outside, while wind chill calculates what it will feel like with the cold and wind, as wind increases the rate at which heat dissipates from any surface (like skin). Heat Index calculates temperature with relative humidity (at the surface) in order to allow people to infer. 'Feels like' = wind chill in colder climates, and heat index in warmer. it used to be more apparent before they changed their interface.And what does, 'feels like' mean? Is that the heat index? Does Ireland have a heat index? I always assumed Ireland to have a colder climate. You may have to do a little digging through yahoo weather to figure it out. You need to replace "CAXX0301" with your location code.note: I have my geektool path aliased to "t" for easy use.When displaying in geektool, it's just a matter of "t list +next".So if I want to mark something as next, I just do "t append # +next" and it will show up in that list.What I do now is for anything that I need to take care of today I add "+next" to the end of the todo.I ended up creating three of these files, mainly just copy and pasted commenting out what i didn't want since I wanted the context and projects to be separate from the main overview though if that is necessary is dependant on your setup.Included below is a bit of the main information. Over time my setup has evolved, gotten more complicated, then simplified, and so on so i've forgotten that I even had some of this setup. The majority of enquiries have come from this quite old Geektool setup I had done when I first found out about the tool so there may be some references to it below.
In the hope of making the internet a better place, this is just a quick post containing what I often email people back asking for Geektool advice. Every once and while I get contact about it due to the fact it doesn't exist anymore. I used to have a simple TXT file hosted on my server which contained a few Geektool snippets.
