New desktop, thus; new geektool! (the reason the PM is so far away from the time is because it's 11, Usually the time is more spread out.)

Haha, I created it in PS.
I'll attach a PS and PNG file for you, to set it as an icon, open it in preview , do cmd+c, right click on your HD icon, get info, click on the small icon in the corner and press ctrl v and there you have it.

Weather/Lynx

Ok I've attached what I have so far.
It looks great, but I wanna add the weather and conditions and I have no idea where to even start.
I tried downloading Lynx from the OP's link, but it doesn't work.

Anyways, I was just needing a complete walkthrough for adding the weather and condtions please, if anyone is willing to do that.

SNIP

Okay, I'll try help as much as I can

Alright so you need lynx, a download can be found here.

Once you have downloaded lynx, install it, and move the file lynx.command to your applications folder, and that's all you need to worry about!

Now for the weather and conditions, I have created a conjoined script so they both get updated and move together as one, Here is the code.

Code:

lynx -dump [B]http://printer.wunderground.com/global/stations/94767.html[/B]|awk '/Cond/ && !/Fore/ {for (i=2; i<=10; i++) printf $i " " }''/Temp/{printf $2, ": "; for (i=3; i<=3; i++) printf $i " " }'

The URL I set in bold is the url for my country and city (Sydney, Australia); So you must go to http://www.wunderground.com/ and put in your details of your whereabouts, go to the link with all the weather updates, and replace my url, with your new one. Remember to keep |awk and put http://printer. (enter url here)

Hope I could help!

Thanks for your help man, but I'm still a little lost.
When you say 'Find the link with all the weather updates'....what exactly is that?
And also, once I get said link, where do I paste it?
I'm not familiar at all with Lynx.

well, when you go to www.wunderground.com it will ask you for your location, and once you enter your location, it will show you the weather, THAT is the link you need to replace mine with.
You just paste it into a shell command in geektool, and everything else will work itself out

Can I have the sunrise/sunset script?

Here it is

Sunrise

Code:

lynx -dump http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=93012|awk '/Sunrise/{printf $1, ": ";  printf $i " " }'
lynx -dump http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=93012|awk '/Sunrise/{printf $2, ": "; for (i=3; i<=3; i++) printf $i " " }'

Sunset

Code:

lynx -dump http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=93012|awk '/Sunset/{printf $1, ": ";  printf $i " " }'
lynx -dump http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=93012|awk '/Sunset/{printf $2, ": "; for (i=3; i<=3; i++) printf $i " " }'

If someone can come up with a better code and maybe get rid of the zero in from of the time that would be nice if you could post it.

Anyone got new scripts to make this better?

Hey guys, here are my Sunrise and Sunset scripts respectively:

curl http://m.wund.com/global/stations/71892.html | grep 'Sunrise' | sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//ba' | sed -e 's/Sunrise/Sunrise: /g' | sed -e 's/PST//g'

curl http://m.wund.com/global/stations/71892.html | grep 'Sunset' | sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//ba' | sed -e 's/Sunset/Sunset: /g' | sed -e 's/PST//g'

You don't need lynx, but they're written for Vancouver, you need to change the bit after "stations/" to the corresponding one for your city.

Doesn't work for me when i put in my zip code.

rrijkers · Feb 23, 2009

Works great! You think you can write something similar to show temperature so we don't need lynx?

@ MSTRKRFT: browse to you station manually from http://m.wund.com/

that didn't work It showed the source instead. Like html.

Is there a way to just show the temperature without the decimal?

Yeah... the decimal makes it look all ugly. I think I figured it out, so try it and see if it works.

Display temperature without decimal (rounded):

Code:

lynx -dump http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=YOURZIPCODE|awk '/Temp/{printf int($2+0.5); printf $3}'

(Replace the YOURZIPCODE part as usual and such.)

I used clancemasterj's psd, found here.http://Clancemasterj.deviantart.com/art/Brown-Wall-113347299

Then I played with it a bit, changed the wallpaper to the color of my room, and made one of the picture frames into an atomic clock. Example

Then I used geektool and used this fonthttp://www.dafont.com/ds-digital.font

With the lynx/weather script, how do i display the city which the temp is displaying.
