Use Lynx with GeekTool to grab news headlines
Authored by: jbc on Aug 23, '04 03:54:16PM

I was just playing around with this idea yesterday, but I'm using MkConsole rather than Geektool. Started out trying to use snownews to grab RSS feeds, but like jecwobble, eventually decided curl was the easiest tool to use. You can pipe the output through any shell/sed/awk/perl script you care to create to filter/format the final output to file.
