I cant seem to get quote of the day nor weather working 🙁

What is the current "quote of the day" script?

What script is everyone using for weather? i've tried most in this thread but to no avail.

My weather script:
curl --silent "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=USFL0481&u=f" | grep -E '(Current Conditions:|F<BR)' | sed -e 's/Current Conditions://' -e 's/<br \/>//' -e 's/<b>//' -e 's/<\/b>//' -e 's/<BR \/>//' -e 's/<description>//' -e 's/<\/description>//'

My QOTD script:
curl -s http://www.dailyzen.com/ | sed -n “/<\!–Add Quote for correct day–>/,/<\/TD>/p”|sed -e “s/<[^>]*>//g” |strings|fold -sw60

Bank Gothic, which ranks up there with Papyrus and Herculanum as being one of the worst (and most overused) types ever.

I believe you're forgetting about comic sans.

I actually have nothing against herculanum or papyrus, since I can think of many different situations where their use would be appropriate.

Try this:
Code: 
curl --silent "http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=USFL0481&u=f" | grep -E '(Current Conditions:|F<BR)' | sed -e 's/Current Conditions://' -e 's/<br \/>//' -e 's/<b>//' -e 's/<\/b>//' -e 's/<BR \/>//' -e 's/<description>//' -e 's/<\/description>//'
Partly cloudy and 72?! Wish I was there!

I assure you that you do not! lol.. Tomorrow is 85, 90% humidity. We get one season, and it SUCKS.

But alas, this doesn't work for me either. See screenshot:
 
I'm really only familiar with Geektool 3. I see you use ver 2. Isn't there supposed to be an empty window that your script will eventually show up in?

Thats the blue window in the background..

I tried GT3, but prefer the older one.. (i.e. in GT3, how does one close the preferences window for each script? I couldnt figure that part out)

Curious - what happens when you put just the yahoo url in a web browser:
http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=USFL0481&u=f
Do you get the weather data or a blocked message?

Also, in GT3 you can't close the script preferences window. It does, however, automatically change when you click on another existing shell or create a new shell.

I'll try upgrading to GT3 again. I got confused and downgraded.. lol.

When I click the link, it gives me this page:

By the looks of it it seems that Yahoo has blocked your IP due to too frequent refreshes (yahoo thinks you are a bot). Wait a few days without pinging that site and try again. Then, make sure your refresh is 1 hour or longer.

Will do.. Thank you..

Hopefully that will work.. and hopefully someone has insight on a QOTD script.
 
Hmm.. Doesn't work either. I wonder if there is something wrong with the app for me.. since I had downgraded, maybe I didnt do something right.

Maybe ill uninstall, and reinstall.
