show www.humanclock.com-pictures on the desktop:
www.humanclock.com is a website that shows different jpgs each minute. just have a look.
generate two geektool-tasks. one helper-task that extracts the name of the actual pic, downloads it and saves to a file. the second task just shows this pic. 1. curl `curl --cookie "hclock=$COOKIECONTENT" http://www.humanclock.com/clock.php | grep "http://www.humanclock.com/livefiles/digital" | sed s/"\""//g | sed s/".*updown src="/""/ | sed s/" border=0.*"/""/` > /tmp/humanclock.jpg
2. show the picture: file:///tmp/humanclock.jpg
replace $COOKIECONTENT with the content of the cookie named "hlock" saved by www.humanclock.com when beiing visited with firefox (in safari the content of a cookie cannot be copied). $COOKIECONTENT is something like "13036%23%26uc%3D3%26ut%3D110577900 %26ua%3D0%26uz%3D60%26us%3D7108547e23 483c077267f34b3fa4337e%26uf%3D0%26ul%3D0 %26uL%3D0%26uo%3D0%26ux%3D0%26uj%3D1 %26ub%3D0%26uy%3D0%26um%3D1%26up%3D0 %26ui%3D1%26uh%3D%26uu%3DFF9933%23c57 75a7306758bacf5c659b4dbb91e84" as one long line. the site needs the cookie to figure out, in which timezone you are.
