a simple question

Post by noforibu »

Hi I’m Robert, I’m 29, 5’10”, about 185 lbs, Muscular body but not extremely cut. I inherited my grandparents house a few years ago, I wasn’t sure if I was going to sell it or if I was going to keep it. I let the house sit until about a year ago. I decided to move back to my hometown after life basically slapped me in the face https://www.goodpornsites.pro .

It had been several years since I’ve been back to my hometown, I didn’t know what to expect when I moved back since I really haven’t stepped foot in this town since I graduated high school. Once I arrived back at my hometown I noticed that the town really hasn’t changed much. I noticed a new water tower, a new school but everything else was the same. What did I even expect from a small town, nothing is going to change in a small town.

I got to my grandparents house, I looked around to see what I was going to have to deal with now that I was here. I didn’t know what kind of shape the house was going to be in when I got here but overall the house looked the same. I stood in the driveway looking at the house just thinking about the past, my grandparents, family getting together and everything else that could possibly come back with this property.

As I was standing there looking at the house in the driveway, I heard a group of girls giggling. I start looking around and I see a group of girls standing back on the road, looking at me and giggling into their hands covering their mouths like a group of school girls. At this point I smile at them and wave. They all waved back and started to walk away giggling. I was thinking to myself that was weird, and went back to looking at the house.

After a week of me being back at my grandparents house and me feeling settled down with being back at my hometown, I decided that it was time to start cleaning up the house and the yard to make the house more like mine. Once I started to start cleaning up the house, I started with the interior of the house. I started to remove a lot of my grandparents' things and was placing them in the garage just in case any of my family wanted anything.

As I was making a trip to the garage, I can see that someone was watching me from the road. I look down the driveway to see a girl standing there staring at me. At this point I wave at her and she waves back and I go back to work on what I was doing. Before I knew it I heard a female voice from behind me saying, “Hi, I’m Crystal.” I stop and turn around to see the same girl stand about 5 feet behind me. When I turned around I realized that this girl was one of the girls from the group of giggling school girls from a week ago.

I answered her back with, “Hi, I’m Robert, nice to meet you Crystal!” Now that she was standing right in front of me, I couldn’t help but look this girl over. As I’m looking her over, I notice that she is very gorgeous with a nice tan, breasts are about an upper A cup, maybe even a B cup, very petite, about 80 pounds and no more than 4’10”. As I’m looking Crystal over I realize that I kind of need to get my mind off her and stop looking at her body because I didn’t want to seem like a perv that just moved to town.

At this point I’m trying to figure what to do. I don’t know if she noticed me kind of freak out or what but she goes on to say, “So Robert, Did you just move to town or did you just come back to clean up this house?” I stuttered at first and I finally got out that I inherited my grandparents house and I was cleaning it up so I can live in it. After I said that Crystal got a big smile on her face and said “So you’re going to be my new neighbor?” When I heard her say new neighbor, I responded back with, “New Neighbor!”, all shocked! She answered me with, “Yeah, I live right across the alley right over there” and she pointed to her house. I answered back with, “Yeah, looks like we are new neighbors!” At that moment, I could see that her eyes lit up and got this big devilish smile on her face. Crystal goes on to say, “Well I will see you around then, I have to get home before my mom starts looking for me.” All I could do is say, “See you around”, as she turned around and started skipping down the driveway. In my mind all I can think to myself is, “God I’m in trouble now, this girl is going to be trouble!”

As the week went on I really didn’t see Crystal at all even with me going in and out of the house as much as I was going to the garage removing my grandparents things from the house. I thought that maybe I was in the clear and maybe I was over thinking that Crystal was going to be a problem, that was until I ended up going to the store to get some things for the house https://www.hotmyfreecams.com/ .

When I enter one of the only stores in my hometown, guess who I run into as I turn down one of the aisles? Crystal but this time she was with a woman that was pushing a cart down the aisle. At that very moment Crystal shouts out, “Hi, Robert!” Crystal says it all excitedly and the woman she was with has this expression on her face as if she already knows about me. As I get closer, I say, “Hi, Crystal, How are you?” Crystal says, “I’m doing good. Robert, this is my mom, Celina!” I answer back with, “Hi Celina, It's nice to meet you!” Crystal mom answers, “Nice to meet you too, Robert! So you're the guy my daughter keeps talking about!” At the very moment Crystal tells her mom, “Shut up, Mom!”

Celina gives a smile and laughs a little and says, “So I hear you're our new neighbor?” I answer with, “Yeah, I just moved into my grandparents old house and I’m trying to fix it up.” Celina goes on to say, “ Yeah that what Crystal had told me, I was starting to wonder if that house was just going to sit there empty. I didn’t think anyone was ever going to move in!” I went, “Yeah, I understand what you mean, I honestly didn’t know what I was going to do with it after I inherited it, so I kinda just let it sit there until I could figure out what I was going to do. Celina says, “Well it's nice that the house isn’t sitting there empty now. Well it was nice to meet you Robert but Crystal and I need to get going, I hope to see you around!” I answer Celina with, “Nice to meet you too, Celina!” At this point I notice Crystal is blushing and she tells me, “Bye, Robert! See you later!”, I say, “Bye Crystal, see you around!”

Well if you automatically change the time to the local time your clock should just be correct.

Code: Select all

[MeasureTimeZone]
Measure=Time
Format=%Z
To manually change your time zone for example UTC

Code: Select all

[MeasureTimeZone]
Measure=Time
TimeZone=0
Format=UTC

Microsoft documents Windows.Devices.Geolocation Namespace as a means to identify the system location.
Can this API (or something similar) be accessed from Rainmeter?
If you can access something via PowerShell, a command prompt, the registry, etc., then you can access it via Rainmeter. If what you are wanting to do is only possible via a Windows API call or other coding, it requires you to create a plugin, which you can then use in Rainmeter. So the short answer to your question is "No", Rainmeter can't access that API directly, but it can do so indirectly.

One option you might want to explore is to check the registry entry here:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\ActiveTimeBias

I'm not sure if this value updates auto-magically or not, so you'll need to check it to see if it follows your actual physical location. If it does, this is the number of minutes "bias" (offset) from UTC. You'd take the difference between this value and "Bias" (the bias for the timezone you told Windows you were in), and offset the Illustro clock measure by that many minutes.

You can find info on accessing the registry here: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/registry/

If that registry key is not working as you need, then you might be able to access the GeoLocation API with PowerShell, which you can invoke with a RunCommand measure. More info on this here: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/plugins/runcommand/

As you can see, what you are asking for is not trivial... ;)

As SilverAzide said, You'll have to create a plugin or something to update the time automatically. But you can manually change the time zone using the Skin Context Menu [Refer: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual-beta/user-interface/context-menus/]

Code: Select all

ContextTitle=PST
ContextAction=[!SetOption TimeZone "PST"]
You can add context menu options for all the time zones you visit... :thumbup:

This !SetOption bang in this form doesn't (can't) work, because this bang requires at least three parameters: the name of the section where is it used, the name of the option which is modified and the value which will be applied to the previously stated option. Your bang has only two parameters (TimeZone and PST). Too less...
