Sync iCal and Sun Calendar System

No commentsCool Weather Graphs
Adam, one of my work colleagues, has some really nifty weather and climate related graphs on his website. The data is parsed from information on the Australian Bureau of Meterology website, and extends back for up to 2 years. Which makes it really handy for seeing changes in seasons, trends and averages of temperature, rainfall, etc.
