Obtained the authorization from HKO

Today, received the authorization from HKO on reproduce/re-disseminate their weather information.

In addition, HKO also provided a detailed documentation on how their information is organized in the HTML files, such that programmer can collect the information accurately. Those information is very useful, and this will lead to some minor enhancements to the HKWW.

Day 1 ：不消一天已初步成形

nospam@example.com (Isaac Chau) — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 05:51:34 +0000

真的要多謝 Extension Wizard 的幫助，使得像我這些新手馬上就能架起基本的框架展開工作。

今天的目標是在 Status-bar 中能顯示圗示和用 XMLHttpRequest 從天文台取得現正生效的警告。
在 MDC 中的技術文件都頗為詳細，所以沒有什麼大的問題。
