Post Scripts (with a title and a pic if you can)

 
yeah, i gave up, my buddy at school is gunna show me.
once i learn, ill post here so u guys can put the snow conditions on ur desktop.
 
I don't need the snow conditions. I can guarantee it will be frozen granular, ice or 1 inch fresh and cloudy.

These programs wouldn't decrease computer performance would they?
 
its all geektool on mine, every part of it is a different shell/script, took me like 2 hours to set up, but its really handy
 
month: date +%B

Time: date +"%I:%M"

am/pm: date +"%p"

Day of the week: date +%A

Date: date +%d

dont forget to set the refresh time to 1 second cause if not it will stay the same.

hope this works
 
Sick, good choice. I used to get viruses alllllllll the time on my PC, and macs don't really get viruses, its awesome. What did you get for a mac?
 
that looks cool yes but just the background alone would look cool

but it is completely unnecessary and quite useless seeing as all of that information can be available in the top right hand corner
 
how to get the htc style clock:

The First thing you'll need is the background which you can download here

http://cl.ly/2I12

Save the background image in a folder where you'll remember it is

Then to place the image onto your desktop just drag the image icon from Geektools preference pane on to your desktop,and then specify the location of the image inside the box above [set local path]. (or you could just click the button and find the image when the pop up box appears)

Now you should have the HTC background on your desktop

Place this anywhere on your desktop where you want the Geeklet to sit.

All the next commands are Shell commands.

Next thing to add would be the Hour and Minute. the codes are:

hour: date +%I

min: date +%M

note from here on, when you see YOURCITYNAME or YOURCITYCODE you have to edit it to your specifics

The City name is just a simple echo which just displays any text you want it to,

the code is: echo YOURCITYNAME

On the other side we have the day, month and date., the code is: date +'%A, %b %d'

to have the AM/PM text, the code is: date +%p

Lay these little geeklets over your background in whichever way you want. It doesn’t have to be the way I have it here

To get the weather for your city you need to first head over to Yahoo Weather and do a search for your city. Copy and save the URL for your city as you'll need it later.

Then, whilst on the page for your city's weather, hit the RSS button and the page will change to a feed page. In the URL for this page you'll see a code that’s all in uppercase. That’s your city code. Copy and save this next to your city URL as you will need this later aswell.

To get the current weather for your location, the code is :

curl --silent "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=YOURCITYCODE&u=c" | grep -E '(Current Conditions:|[A-Z]
 
This wouldnt be the first mac i've had. I used to have a 12" powerbook G4 a few years back, but some cunt stole it from my hotel room a while ago when driving through CO... So wack.

I'm getting a 13" MBP though. I like to keep them compact so they fit in whatever the hell you have.
 
I highly disagree, sir. I couldn't get into half of the mischief I enjoy getting into without having a brick of swiss cheese for an operating system.
 
^ definitely. But if your looking to crack, hack, or write, it's gotta be linux or windows. Mac simply can't do it.
 
I think i care more about what some dude in the middle of africa is doing than about any of those things you listed.
 
That man in Africa is the Prince of Nigeria, and he needs $400 from you, his closest friend so that he may claim his bank assets of over $27 million. Just give him your bank account and credit card info, and he'll wire in the cash next tuesday.
