<# .SYNOPSIS Says the forecast aloud. .DESCRIPTION Fetches the forecast and performs a greeting using Text-To-Speech once per day (or more frequently if the -Force) parameter is used. The last date is stored at "$DocumentsFolderRoot/WindowsPowerShell/say-daily-weather.date". The intended use is for this function to be added to your PowerShell profile. Weather alerts are not included. This cmdlet returns immediately, and uses a job to avoid blocking the main thread. The Windows Location API is used. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Say-DailyWeather Performs a greeting and says the current forecast. #> function Say-DailyWeather { [CmdletBinding()] PARAM ( [Parameter()] # Force the use of [switch]$Force ) $DateLocation = [System.Environment]::GetFolderPath('MyDocuments') + '/WindowsPowerShell/say-daily-weather.date' $Last = try { Get-Date (Get-Content $DateLocation -ea 0) } catch { [datetime]::Today.AddDays(-1) } if($Last -lt [datetime]::Today -or $Force) { Set-Content -Path $DateLocation -NoNewLine -Encoding Ascii -Value ([datetime]::Today.ToString().Trim()) $null = Start-Job -Name 'SayDailyWeatherJob' -ScriptBlock { Import-Module Cofl.Util -DisableNameChecking [datetime]$Now = [datetime]::Now [int]$Century = $Now.Year / 100 [int]$Year = $Now.Year % 100 [string]$YearString = if($Year -lt 10) { "o $Year" } else { "$Year" } $Greeting = switch($Now.Hour) { { $_ -lt 12 } { 'Good morning.'; break; } { $_ -lt 20} { 'Good afternoon.'; break; } default { 'Good evening.'; break; } } $Location = Get-GeoLocation @( "$Greeting Today is $($Now.ToString('dddd, MMMM')) $(Get-OrdinalNumber $Now.Day), $($Century) $($YearString).
