Geektool Your Geektool scripts

Mine is rather ugly. Oh well

Okay, I'm still not having any luck removing the unneeded "0" from the time. I've seen examples in this thread where the "0" is omitted. I'm using:

date +%I:%M

Any idea's? Here's what I'm talking about:

Try

date +%l:%M

Where that letter is lowercase L. Seems to get it for me.

What font are you using for the time?
Who is that on your background?

That did it! Thanks!

The font is "Sam's Town." The girl is Tricia Helfer in her role as Cylon model 6 on Battlestar Galactica.

Prefer the second - it works with all wallpapers.

It you be good if you could move it around as a group instead of individually.

With the weather script for temperature, mine was resulting in something like:

50.4*F inthe

So I came up with a better script.

lynx -dump http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=YOURZIPCODE|head -n 7|tail -n 1|awk '{print $2 $3}'

The same goes for the conditions script.

lynx -dump http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=YOURZIPCODE|head -n 12|tail -n 1|cut -c43-100

If you find your conditions resulting in something with letters cut off, change the 100 to a value higher.

Which font are you using there? It looks really nice.

Thanks, my weather script hasn't been working very well recently, I'll give these a try.

Dude I LOVE that desktop!

Curious guys, I'm still very new/green to OS X but not these threads. Is this GeekTool somehow using AppleScript? Also is AppleScript still part of OS X or is it now scrapped??

Thanks! I love collaboration!

I'm going to be making a screen cast shortly on how to set this whole thing up for those out there that still can't figure out how to get it going.

 

[ill0gical0ne]

Hmm... the webpage seems to differ on which character starts the "conditions." A while ago when it was "Haze" here, it was character 43, now that it's "Partly Cloudy", it's character 46.

I'll try to figure out something else.

Here's mine for Bournemouth:

You need the Lynx Text Browser installed

Temp.

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

Cond.

lynx -dump http://printer.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=bournemouth|awk '/Cond/ && !/Fore/ {for (i=2; i<=10; i++) printf $i " " }'

I used these, and they work great (I changed the url to my city). The problem I'm having is that both the temp, and the conditions are ontop of each other.

Update: I played around a figured it out. Thanks!

Then move them...

You missed where I updated my post.

I hadn't realized that you had to move them on the desktop. Anyway it's all good now. I'm just trying to find a good one for itunes. No luck yet (all the ones I try don't work properly).

 

[VPrime]

Just finished mine... Nothing fancy, but gets the job done

 

[Vivid.Inferno]

This is what I've managed by playing around this morning. Still no luck getting anything to work on iTunes. I also just downloaded some new fonts. So I'll be playing around some more later.
