If I remember correctly, I registered as being in the US and then modified my location in the conky weather configuration file. It worked for me, but obviously I cannot condone my behaviour.
Naughty boy! I accidentally did the same thing. Now I have registered I have noticed a couple of interesting things about locations at weather.com:
The list of UK locations on weather.com is much smaller than on Yahoo. There isn't a location on weather.com within 20 miles of here.
The codes for matching locations in weather.com and yahoo.com are the same eg. Snowdon is UKXX0295.
I wonder if Yahoo get their weather from weather.com and if weather.com don't expose their full list of locations in their xml feed. Time to do some digging.

Not wanting to get too far off topic, but I have always thought the locations were directly related, in the UK at least, to the physical location of the Met Office weather stations? Talking of which, I am lucky enough to have one such station within walking distance. 
Also, it would be interesting to know which service the Xfce weather panel applet uses as it uses the same location codes, but does not require the user to preregister?!

Re: My Conky Config
I finally got around to adding weather to my conky. Wife liked it so much I had to add it to her LinuxMint.

Re: My Conky Config
^^Does seeing the temp in degrees Fahrenheit makes the day feel warmer for you than it does when displayed as Celsius? Here in the UK, we tend to refer to our weather in degrees Celsius, but seeing single digits displayed on my Conky always makes me feel colder than I actually am 
Think I'm going to change my Conky to Fahrenheit and see if it makes a difference!

Hold on just a minute im a little confused with all this weather scripting. i am using a script i found that displays info from NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, I want it to display the little jpg icons for current weather. in the xml there is a url for all the icons they use. but in what file do i put the information in? and what code do i use to display them. they also have a zip file of the icons so if i need to i can put them on my computer. ok, well thanks in advance for the help.
EDIT:
NEVERMIND, I FOUND OUT ITS NOT POSSIBLE..

Pah, the younger generation! Us grumpy old gits still use Fahrenheit, acres roods and perches, etc. Now that will be half a crown please:)

Addition: rhythmbox-client gives nicely us a simple way to show in conky which is now playing.
For example:

Re: My Conky Config
Just wanted to say thanks to all the posters on here, after lots of reading (and eventually font installing, who knew it would be so difficult to install fonts!) I now have a modified conky working, still want to put some colour into it and then I'll try and post it here.
Loving Crunchbang so far, works a treat on my pimp'd EEE 701.
Next up trying to get the touchscreen working.
thanks again

Re: My Conky Config
Not sure but would this be the line for that part of the setup?
${voffset -52}${font Weather:size=40}y${font} ${voffset -38}${font Trebuchet MS:size=26}${execi 600 conkyForecast --location=UKXX0133Using gnome-specimen when i put a '°' in 'Trebuchet MS' it works fine only showing a '°'. Also tried the 'weather' font and it worked fine.

Re: My Conky Config
I change "override_utf8_locale no" to yes on mine to get rid of caracters.
Re: My Conky Config
Thanks NWAdawg that worked perfectly 
. Time to get back to playing with the rest of the conky setup.

Re: My Conky Config
Hi all. I found my way here from the Linuxoutlaws site, and thought you might be interested in my Conky set-up
Note the first line, 'new mail'. Conky is reading from my inbox in Seamonkey mail to let me know when new mail arrives. Seamonkey is running in the background, and set to periodically check for new mail, but I often miss the allerts. I set it as first line so that the number displays top right on my screen, an area rarely covered by a window. It is possible to set Conky to actually check for new mail direct from the mail server. Here is my relevant section from conkyrc

Re: My Conky Config
I put to the pastebin one of my .conkyrc files. http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/55. Nothing new or fancy there. The conky is a little bit narrower (maybe better on mini pc's screen) and tells a few basic infos and rhythmbox details if it's working. A command ${if_running process} is nice for that. If Rhythmbox is not working all it's infos disappear from the conky. The basic conky idea from here http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=81894. I just added those all conkys together and changed the colors etc..
System updates: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.p … 12974.html
Email and Rhytmbox details: http://www.kaivalagi.com/node/1
Weather: Acc. to Hanna's example and here http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=94467. To get weather info working curl has to be installed (package manager) and you have to go to http://www.accuweather.com/us-city-list … p;zipcode=. Enter your location and when it's on the screen look from the end of http://-address what is the code. In my location it is "EUR|FI|FI002|LAHTI" (line 123 in .conkyrc). Ie. I searched for Lahti, Finland on international locations.
I just put the info here what I had to digg up before got everything working. If there is anything usefull, I'm glad. If there are mistakes, feel free to correct me. Oh, and here is conky pic... http://www.flickr.com/photos/lotjak/3201435141/.
EDIT: Line 121: ${color A0A0A0}${exec conkyRhythmbox --datatype=PT} / ${execi 1800 conkyRhythmbox --datatype=LE}
better to be : ${color A0A0A0}${exec conkyRhythmbox --datatype=PT} / ${exec conkyRhythmbox --datatype=LE}
Ie. songs's length (${execi 1800 conkyRhythmbox --datatype=LE}) is updating now in 1800 seconds, no good. With ${exec conkyRhythmbox --datatype=LE} it is updating immediately.
