Weatherstation on Kindle4

This is just bunch of scripts that generate PNG image with weather forecast and display them on kindle. Because kindle doesn't have python, you need separate machine to generate the images, then serve them via HTTP.

You will need API key for weather service (http://openweathermap.org/) - it's free, just need to register.

Got r00t?

Great "tutorial" to root your kindle and activate ssh:
