it's actually not that hard.
(though first, in all the codes, erase this bit "| sed '4,9d'" and add this bit at the end "| sed '2,9d' | sed 's/).*/)/g'". works better).
now, look up each of your stocks on google finance and replace the we address in your existing codes with the new one. then replace the title near he end. for example, if you own microsoft, you would change:
curl http://www.google.ca/finance?q=INDEXDJX:.DJI| sed -n '/MARKET DATA AND CHART/,/Open:/p' | sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//ba' | sed '1,9d' | sed '$!N;s/\n/ /'| sed '$!N;s/\n/ /' | sed 's/^/DOW: /g' | sed '2,9d' | sed 's/).*/)/g'
to
curl http://www.google.ca/finance?q=NASDAQ%3AMSFT | sed -n '/MARKET DATA AND CHART/,/Open:/p' | sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//ba' | sed '1,9d' | sed '$!N;s/\n/ /'| sed '$!N;s/\n/ /' | sed 's/^/MSFT: /g' | sed '2,9d' | sed 's/).*/)/g'
Nah, I just have it as a plain text file that I append things to with Quicksilver. Adding stuff that wayis pretty handy, but to remove them I need to open the text file and edit it. Not ideal. (by the way, having a 'have done' list next to your 'to do' list it an awesome motivator, and you never have to remove things from the have done list; just set it up so that it only lists the last five or so things:
more /Users/XXXX/done.txt | sed -e '1p' -e :a -e '$q;N;5,$D;ba'
)
I could try to figure out how to make the list work with iCal, but I don't really use it. I used to use Lightning with Thunderbird, but the latest betas don't support it, so right now, just text files.
THUMBS UP
thats so hot
not sure if i'm following, but try this:
cal | sed -e '/ 1 /s/ / /g' -e '/ 1 /!s/ / /g' | sed -e '/Su/s/^/ /g' -e 's/^/ /g' -e '/Su/!s/^/ /g'| sed -e '1d' -e '2p;2p;2p;2p' | sed -e '$!N;s/\n/ /' -e '$!N;s/\n/ /' -e '$!N;s/\n/ /' -e '$!N;s/\n/ /' | sed -e 's/ 9 / 9 /g' -e 's/ 8 / 8 /g' | sed "s/^/ /;s/$/ /;s/ $(date +%e) /\|$(date +%e)\|/"
it might need to be slightly readjusted for the way the dates fall in april.
What font is that? I believe it is the same as on the iPhone lock screen. I am new to GeekTool, and loving it so far!
Mine with facebook
I found this geektool thing here on macrumors, and like it a lot, so I'm posting my first creation. I forget where I found the background, but I like it. Its Prague's main train station.
Facebook was added using an Automator workflow and Geektool. By looking at the attached Automator Workflow image, and reading the scripts below.. it should be easy to piece together. When done, you can add facebook icon etc.. I found this from a flickr posting, so not my code
Geektool Shell: "Refreash" code:
Be sure to adjust refreash time, otherwise the Automator workflow will run every 10 sec. :-(
I have mine set to 20 mins.
Geektool Shell: "facebook" code:
Geektool Shell: "facebook" code: EDIT.... If you like, this code adds the date and time stamp:

That is a very creative desktop, making your geektool output as graffiti. I love it!
Here is the link to the fonts and more info.. http://lifehacker.com/5186471/the-graffiti-desktop
It is also a real train station.. Prague Main.

They spelled 'Holand' wrong on that grafitti train tho
Unless they're talking about Holand and not Holland. There is a difference between the two and I'm not being sarcastic either. They are 2 different places.
Nice.
Prague is my birthplace
nice!!! my cousins husband comes from Prague, he's one of the nicest guys ive ever met!
Can someone show me a script to get the weather information for Edmonton Canada? We don't have zip codes, so, I can't find a way to get the info from Weather Underground
I tried:
lynx -dump http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/71123.html|awk /Temp/{printf $2, : ; for (i=3; i<=3; i++) printf $i }
This will give me the info in terminal, but, just shows blank in Geektool.. Any help?

Cipher,
try:
curl http://m.wund.com/global/stations/71123.html | sed -e '/tr><td>Visibility<\/td>/q' | tail -30 | sed -e '$d' -e '2,28d' | sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//ba'| sed -e 's/°//g' -e '1!G;h;$!d'| sed '$!N;s/\n/ /'
This is fun. What else you guys got?

I don't know if something similar has already been posted. Here is a script for the 'ending' of the dates (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.) I don't know what these are actually called This script returns the appropriate ending according to the date.
This script returns the appropriate ending according to the date.
Code:
set dayvar to (get day of (current date)) as string
set ending to null as string
if dayvar ends with 1 and dayvar does not end with 11 then
set ending to "st"
else if dayvar ends with 2 and dayvar does not end with 12 then
set ending to "nd"
else if dayvar ends with 3 and dayvar does not end with 13 then
set ending to "rd"
else
set ending to "th"
end if
return ending
So i've been having fun with this and have spent about 3 hrs on it. I like the results but i really wish the weather would display city name but i have no skills to do this
My MR feed also seems flipped, i'd rather have the latest news at the top rather than bottom...any ideas on how to achieve this?
Finally these are my results thus far
PS. Thanks for everyone whose put codes up. You guys are awesome.

this should work better
curl http://m.wund.com/global/stations/71123.html | sed -e '/tr><td>Visibility<\/td>/q' | sed -e '1!G;h;$!d' | sed -e '/Temperature/q' -e '1d' | sed '/Conditions/,/Humidity/d' | sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//ba' -e '/°/q' | sed -e '$!N;s/\n/ /' -e '$!N;s/\n/ /' -e '$!N;s/\n/ /' | sed -e 's/°//g'
I actually got it perfectly with:
curl http://m.wund.com/global/stations/71123.html |sed -n '21p' | sed -e 's/<span class="nowrap"><b>//g' | sed -e 's/<\/b.*/C/g'
Thanks though!
