There is a great script available from Thomas Upton http://www.thomasupton.com/blog/?p=202 which can be used to show the forecast for both today and tomorrow. See my previous 3 posts (#'s 483, 492, 498) for instructions on how to use this script.
Got a tip for us?

Can you help me now? I would love a fan speed script!
And am also wondering if Geektool 3 is even working yet?
After a quick search of google, I've found two sites/posts that have a fan speed script:
http://www.r0ssar00.com/2009/03/geektool.html Instructions and help in the comments section
http://forums.macosxhints.com/showpost.php?p=374266&postcount=2
Sorry I can't be of more help but i've only been using geektool for about two months and have never played with any code etc before now.
As for geektool 3, the beta is available, (link and interview with developer here) http://thememymac.com/2009/geektool/more-on-geektool-3/ but the developer does not know when the public release will be. I personally haven't tried the beta (it doesn't affect Geektool 2.1.#).
The scripts posted on the first page of this thread for conditions and temperatures.
Okay, I am new here. This is my first post. Here's my setup (hope everyone likes it). My dock is normally retracted, so it doesn't usually cover up the day. The font I'm using for my clock is "Sam's Town", as answered in an earlier post, and the other things are "TI-Uni".
I have read every post in this thread so I do not repost any questions that have been answered.
The real reason I joined was to ask if there was any way to make an iTunes-like script for Songbird (open source music player powered by Mozilla). Thanks if anyone can help!

After much tinkering (I've never done any of this code before at all, so I'm rather proud of myself) I have come up with this:
Code:
lynx -dump http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=55418|awk -F. '/Temp/{printf $1}' | awk '{printf $2}'As proof of my conquest, I give you a screen cap with what you requested above of my setup. I'm really sorry if it doesn't work for you ('cause it seems that code is working for some people, while not others).
I'm going to work on it rounding up now instead of just truncating.
EDIT:
After just minutes working with it some more, I have made it round up:
Code:
lynx -dump http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=55418|awk '/Temp/{printf $2 + .5}' |awk -F. '{printf $1}'I really hope this works for everyone and not just me. I'm really proud of this just 'cause I'm understanding it now.

Should have seen that coming. I'll just upload it here. Highest res I have, but I'm pretty sure there's a higher one out there.
Edit:
If anyone wants a thing to show your current IP, here you go (you need lynx though).
Code:
lynx -dump http://www.formyip.com/ |awk "/IP is/{print $NF}" |awk '{printf "IP: " $4}'Attachments
Hey everybody. This is my first post, but I have been tinkering with geektool for some time. Below is my latest desktop. It tries to combine every cool shell command and script I have found scouring the nets.
Among the notables:
-iTunes song progress meter (my favorite)
-yweather as featured on lifehacker (finally got it to work!)
-cpu temp and fan speed
-new mail
-rss feed
-next 5 iTunes songs in itunes DJ (I modified somebody's applescript to make this work for the current version of itunes)
-volume meter
-icalbuddy for calendar events and todos
-wallpaper from kitsunenoir.com
I'm still playing around with the layout, and might even eliminate some of the scripts, as it can get a little busy when you have limited screen real estate as I do. Please feel free to ask me anything.
Thom
PS: Has anybody gotten twitterbuddy to work? I have no trouble installing it, but for some reason I am unable to sign in....(maybe something having to do with twitter?)

You seem to be good at this stuff. Any chance you could make a Songbird script?
Both of those scripts come from my friend Kevin, who has created a fairly comprehensive script package available for download on his site:
http://www.r0ssar00.com/2009/03/geektool.html
Check the first post for the download link for the script package. As far as the fan speed and cpu temp work, both are python scripts that reference a file found in the SMC Fan Control app that Kevin customized (no need to have the app installed on your machine, the customized executable is included in the package). The song meter is an ingenious applescript in which one can specify an output character and output length. (If you take a look at my desktop pic, you'll see a box surrounding the line of " > " that I created using echo commands, just to make it look nice.) Let me know if you have any problems getting them working.
What sort of script would you want? Let it be known that I have very rudimentary scripting skills, though I might be able to modify an itunes script to work with songbird.
I have tried that (not that it's not possible, I've just failed). I'd like something that displays the song, album, and artist (basic iTunes one). If doable I'd like the song meter one like you have for iTunes. I would really appreciate it.
Very cool Setup!!
Any chance of getting to see the final script you used for the weather? or tips on making it work?
I can't find the download link
for either.EDIT:::I found a download link with all his scripts, which is the title of the fan speed one and for it, do I just have to link to it from Geektool (file.) For the iTunes meter, what is the title of it as well and once again do I just link from Geektool?
