Generate a dashboard

You'll need to grab an openweathermap API key and setup TaskWarrior. Once this in is place, you can use the epd refresh-dashboard command to display a generic dashboard. I schedule this in cron on my raspberry PI to update every 30 minutes.

example:

epd refresh-dashboard --dstask --weather-api-key XXXXXXXXXXXX
