Applications :: GeekTool Cal With A Difference?

Jan 20, 2009

I'm looking to modify the cal command that I've seen used for calendars in GeekTool to create a horizontal calendar.

I don't care about days of the week so much, I just think it would be interesting to have all of the days of the week listed out in order at the bottom of my screen, with the current one marked.

So, I need two things:

I need to strip out of the cal command the days of the week at the top (or repeat them the appropriate number of times, but I imagine that will be far more difficult) and the line breaks at the end of each week. This is the most important part.

Secondly, I'd like to find a way to add bars (like this: |) on either side of the current date without replacing the numbers as most of the calendars I've seen have done it.

Here's the code I've seen:

Code:
cal | sed "s/^/ /;s/$/ /;s/ $(date +%e) / $(date +%e | sed 's/././g') /"

If I can just modify that to get what I want, that's fine, if I have to use something completely different, that's fine. I just would love to have a horizontal calendar.

Applications :: GeekTool Improvements?

Jun 4, 2009

Seeing as GeekTool is old and inefficient, I am considering creating a new tool that is less of a burden on system resources.

I want to know what features you would like to see in a new version of the tool. I'm thinking native support for basic stuff such as getting the date and time without having to run a shell command.

Applications :: How To Get Desktop To-Do List With Geektool

Mar 23, 2009

I've been learning and customizing Geektool over the weekend and I'm stumped on how to get it to display a to-do list that refreshes for free.

I've read many different websites on how to do this and I'm stumped. I don't really understand code, don't use iCal, and have no idea how to read my terminal info.

I'd like to use Geektool b/c of the customization it offers, but I'd also like to be able to use something where I can simply view my to-do list and it refreshes automatically. The thing is I need something that's free.

These are the sites that I've visited, but I get confused when they start talking about ~users and where to place files and editing documents. I've looked here:

Applications :: How To Get Geektool Desktop Advice

May 3, 2010

I have a question for anyone out there who is into customizing their desktop. This is my current desktop setup (for my second display) created with Geektool. I'm pretty happy with it but being as anal as I am I want the AM/PM lights to be lit properly.

I can create two desktop wallpapers but OSX wallpaper settings aren't detailed enough to change the image every 12 hours. The only other thing I could think of was to create a 24 hour video, 12 hours of AM followed by 12 of PM. Then use Mach Desktop to play the video.

Though this is crazy overkill and would unnecessarily use a ton of resources. Any ideas would be awesome!

Running OSX 10.6 on a MBP and using Geektool 3.0.

OS X :: Using Lynx To Display Temperature In Geektool (Extra Words Added)

Feb 26, 2009

I'm using Lynx to display the temperature in Geektool, but for some reason "inthe" is added to it. I'm using the code:
lynx -dump http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=44221|awk '/Temperature /{printf $2, ": "; for (i=3; i<=3; i++) printf $i " " }'
And this one causes the same thing,

Applications :: Unable To Edit Project In IMovie / Edit And File Tabs Were Unable To Be Clicked

The one I am specifically looking for right now is switching between tabs in Firefox. What key combo would I use for that? Another one I am looking for is undo close tab.

Are there any other key combos you can think of that might not be obvious, but might be something someone would want to know about?

OS X :: Unable To Launch Applications On Mac 10.4

Apr 25, 2009

Background: A day or two after plugging a USB that had been plugged into a virus ridden PC into my Mac, the internet went berserk. My father told me that he thought it was the USB that had messed the internet up. A few days later, he said that the USB was fine, it was just that Apple came out with a Security Update that changed our router access password (we cannot access our own internet because our password was being changed by a "Security Update"). So, in a kind effort to provide internet for me, he went into my Account Settings and changed my permissions so I was able to access the Application "Internet Connect". Well, I was able to run the application and connect to our internet, but I couldn't launch any applications that didn't either: a.)Come with the machine or b.)Need the administrator password to install.

The Problem: I cannot launch any applications that didn't need the administrator password or come with the system. I AM able to run Apps such as iChat, iTunes, Ventrilo(required administrator password) and Quicktime. I AM NOT able to run any of the games that I have downloaded, teamspeak, transmission, teamviewer, or any .dmg file. After two weeks of looking for possible causes and trying everything in our power, my dad and I can't find the cause of this. He has taken off all parental control and given me control of everything on my account, but still I can't launch anything.
