the weather module has issues. basically if you use ANY modules outside e17's
own default set you are on a "good luck" basis as if e17's code changes i don't
update them and i never test them. they likely get less testing and quality may
vary a LOT. you are encouraged to help with modules u have problems with if you
want to use them, but don't rely on them. basically included modules will be
considered "stable" and if not must be fixed to be so. extra modules are "at
your own risk". :)

solution: stop using the weather module. it currently does VERY evil things
like:
system("wget -R http://www.weather.com/something";); which means e17 is blocked
and will not continue doing ANYTHING until wget has finished recursively
snarfing a chunk of weather.com. this already would make me most dubious of
running the module just seeing that in the code :)
the other major problem we would have with such network aware modules is that if
the code were done right we still have a BLOCKING dns lookup problem in
ecore_con (or ecore_file_download via curl). this has irked me for some time now
and i'd like to make the dns lookups async.
