Weather Widget

Random Tiger Tip for Australians: I was playing around with the nifty weather forecast widget (on the Dashboard) when I noticed that we were going to be having a very, very warm week. Curious, I clicked on the widget to be shown the extended forecast in Safari… only to discover it was for Sydney, Florida. It seems the widget defaults to US cities. Happily, Australian locations do seem to work; I just had to enter “Sydney, New South Wales” instead. Just so you know.

    There’s a Melbourne, Florida, too. I love the way things default to these relatively tiny U.S. towns rather than big cities of 3 – 4 million people:)

  2. I probably confused it. I mean, my clock is clearly set to Australian time, but I use the US keyboard layout. Poor thing doesn’t know where I am!
