Zoltan Universal Binary

Who doesn’t like big stone heads?
I originally made a program called Zoltan in 1998 on my Mac 6300-something. In the intervening near-decade I’ve drank a lot and now have no recollection of what Zoltan did or why. I do remember that Zoltan was a giant stone Moai head and that the program never made it out of College-Basement-Labratory-Alpha release. So, in the interest of confirming my implied insanity, I decided to resurrect this never-finished project that has been lost to the sands of time and outdated computers.

An idiot in search of a reason
I started by recreating, to the best of my ability, Zoltan and his environs. I needed a reason for his existence, of course, and thankfully technological advances made during the last decade have allowed me to give him one: He’s going to show you the weather! Much like his slightly-more-useful widget brethren, Zoltan will poll a weather RSS and change his surroundings based on the weather outside! Who needs windows or doors when Zoltan can tell you if it is raining, snowing, cloudy, or even night time outside?!?! Zoltan sits there, the weather swirling around him, waiting for you to ask him a question...
