I'm looking for an API that provides recent, 3-hourly temperatures... either observed or forecasted. To be clear, I'm looking for data from the past... like 'yesterday'.
Free or paid is fine. International or US only is fine. Lookup by long/lat, zip, city doesn't matter either.
Any suggestions?

I'm looking for an API that provides recent, 3-hourly temperatures... either observed or forecasted. To be clear, I'm looking for data from the past... like 'yesterday'.
I don't know of an API for historic weather data. "3-hourly" observations are often referred as Syno hours. For historic data, other than for model validation, 99% of the time only observed data is used. Unless otherwise needed, in general you want surface observation data.
In the US, the NCDC (National Climate Data Center)'s Climate Data Online is likely your best source. The data is gratis, but with some (potential) usage restrictions.

You may use the public data from NOAA's Global Summary of the Day public data FTP, but you have to read the data format convention and build a script to connect and parse the data needed.
Have a look at the readme.txt file in the same FTP-folder, maybe you will find how to use this service.

I'm building a website whereby if the international space station is in the dark (in Earth's shadow), it will do A, otherwise it'll do B.
How can I achieve this? The closest I have come is a Flash file, which I've decoded to a 3000+ file that I can't make sense of. I've thought about using an API, which I can call every second, that show this information, but have not been able to find one.
See This:
It is mentioned about the ISS too.
The basic gist is, if you visit this https://api.wheretheiss.at/v1/satellites/25544 , you will get the details response in JSON, which you can easily parse and use.
note , that the 25544 is the ID for ISS.
If I am not mistake, there is a 'visibility' field too, which you can just check for light.

I have an idea for a new project that would require me to get the news feeds from many RSS news feeds. I am unable to find a free or affordable API that lets me do this. All I have found is NewsCred, which is significantly too expensive for me. It doesn't seem practical for me to manually input the feeds of 2000 different newspapers both from a time standpoint, and due to potential legal-related licensing issues.
What about Superfeedr? (I created it!). We provide an API that will do the fetching, parsing and and diffing of all the feeds you supply, in realtime.
The main difference with NewsCred is that you are the one picking your sources and supplying them to us. We accept any kind of RSS/Atom feed and already power services like IFTTT for example.

I've been dealing with ebooks lately, and found it quite hard to quickly find conversion scripts to and from the numerous formats available (EPUB, lrf, html, txt, rtf, markdown, and so on).
I thought it might be nice to have one post here with one formats pair and one corresponding tool (eg. Markdown -> Pdf, markdown2pdf) per answer. This should give everyone a neat way to rate the various tools based on their experience, and I think that such a list could be handy for many people.
Hope you like the idea!
I think this might work for you: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/ebook-convert.html

I'm looking to get my hands on an API (hopefully one that's platform agnostic) that allows me to retrieve real time (or as close to it) equity prices / volume (hopefully).
I'm not a professional trader and can't afford anything really expensive (although I'm willing to pay a fair bit a month for such a service). I'm seeking to monitor about 500 equities (SP500) to start.
Does anybody have any suggestion? I don't want to use something like Google, because I would in effect be stealing a lot of bandwidth and could be blocked for abusing the service.
Google is a relatively shockingly developer friendly company. I have had some interactions with them about volumes of API use. You can hit them quite a bit without getting blacklisted.
One project that I am aware of being developed by Collaborative Software Initiative: FeedHandler: http://csinitiative.com/products/feedhandler/
I am not sure what the cost of the feed would be like. They would be able to track all of the stocks.

I read this book:
Head First Object-Oriented Analysis and Design
Now i am looking forward to find a Software that make it easy to collect all my Ideas etc (specific Software for OOA).
At the moment i am using my Whiteboard to collect/design Ideas etc. Afterwards i am taking pictures of it and add text to our Wiki/Trac.
At school, we're using Objecteering, which is easy to use, integrated to Eclipse, but not free.
IMO blank paper is a must, but not always the easier to share and to edit.
Install mediawiki (the stuff that powers wikipedia, don't settle for anything less you will need the full feature set eventually) and put all your ideas in there. This makes it easy to refine them and to improve then as time goes by.
