GeekTool - Ideas of using it
I've made myself a little shell script to show me useful status information (date, quote-of-the-day, battery charge, uptime, CPU temperature, disk usage, and now external IP (thanks Gfx!)) Note that battery status and CPU temp use external programs, and I'm not sure if they're redistributable - I'm pretty sure I grabbed them out of some Konfabulator widgets or something, if you want to try to find them. Also, QOTD just reads a file that I created by calling fortune in a cron job, so set that up if you want to use it. Anyway, here's the script:
By the way, the little box characters are escape characters; they denote ANSI color escape codes, which don't work in GeekTool. The easiest thing would just be to delete them.
