About iRat

iRat is a quickly hacked up replacement for iGoogle that I wrote in a few hours.

The name changes every time the page is reloaded because:

naming things is hard, so I decided to skip it
it's a small tribute to FireSomething, credited with the original idea and many of the animals in the list.

There is basically just one feature - you can set the location for the weather forecast. Enjoy!
