They should be placed in Library->Application Support->Bowtie

Thanks to JCK1634 for making the HTC geek tutorial and every1 one else who helped out!! I have one question though and I think I read it some where in here. I had to redo the weather and every time i tried going into Yahoo weather I kept getting a 999 error? Its back to normal but why did this happen in the first place?

 

[woomera]

i came up with this idea last night so started configuring the desktop. dunno if anyone done this before, what you guys think?

You're welcome buddy. If I remember correctly, the error usually occurs whenever the yahoo weather web site fails to update. Nothing you can do really if that happens, except wait for yahoo to fix it.

I just remembered it might also be to do with how often you refresh your weather commands. if you do it too often then yahoo will block you from updating. Make sure you have all your geeklets, that require yahoo weather, to refresh at 3600 secs or more.

[woomera]

Sounds like that would be cool, but definitely hard (impossible?) to implement in the current environment of Geektool

In other words, I have not heard of anything like that
But good luck! And if you find it, be sure to post it here!

I have been following JCK1634's guide (thank you very much sir) and have found some trouble. I would like my temperature to display itself in Fahrenheit but it keeps coming up as Celsius. I searched and couldn't figure out how to change that. Any help would be much appreciated.

early in your curl code, just after your web page, there will be a "u=c"
change that to "u=f"

You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you so much.

I changed my code to

curl --silent "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=61822&u=f" | grep -E '(Current Conditions:|[A-Z]<BR)' | sed -e 's/Current Conditions://' -e 's/<br \/>//' -e 's/<b>//' -e 's/<\/b>//' -e 's/<BR \/>//' -e 's/<description>//' -e 's/<\/description>//' -e 's/, [0-9]* [A-Z]//' | tail -n1

vs

curl --silent "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=61822&u=c" | grep -E '(Current Conditions:|[A-Z]<BR)' | sed -e 's/Current Conditions://' -e 's/<br \/>//' -e 's/<b>//' -e 's/<\/b>//' -e 's/<BR \/>//' -e 's/<description>//' -e 's/<\/description>//' -e 's/, [0-9]* [A-Z]//' | tail -n1

and it doesn't display the temp at all only the condition


edit: fixed

Try this

curl "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=61822&u=f" | grep -E '(Current Conditions:|F<BR)' | sed -e 's/Current Conditions://' -e 's/<br \/>//' -e 's/<b>//' -e 's/<\/b>//' -e 's/<BR \/>//' -e 's/<description>//' -e 's/<\/description>//'

grrrr....now the weather image won't update...I followed directions from a youtube vid with good step-by step instructions, but the image won't change. At first I thought it's because we've been getting snow for the past few days, but I checked the Yahoo Weather page for my town, and the image is different. Also, I didn't forget to do the "Update every __ seconds" thing. Halp?

Ok, just checking...
1. You have two separate entries
a. one to capture the file (a shell)
b. one to post the file (a picture)

2. You have checked to make sure the file name that is written is the file name that is being read

3. You have set the update time

4. You have double checked the yahoo page address you are using in your command

Hey guys, I have the code to put the degree symbol for most of my temperatures, but I don't have it for the forecast

I use this code to get the forecast

curl  "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=YOURZIP&u=f" | grep -e "Forecast:" -A 2 | tail -n 2 | sed -e 's/<br \/>//' -e 's/<BR \/>//' | sed "s/\(.*\)\.\ \(.*\)/\1\?\2/" | tr "?" "\n" | sed "s/High\:\ \(.*\)\ Low\:\ \(.*\)/\?H\: \1\  L\:\ \2/" | sed "s/\?\(.*\)/\\1/"

and it prints like this:

Fri - Sunny
H: 61 L: 39
Sat - Rain
H: 50 L: 46

What code would print it like this??

Fri - Sunny
H: 61º L: 39º
Sat - Rain
H: 50º L: 46º

I know you guys are awesome, so I am sure one of you can do this

Countdown Script

thnks everyone for everything. i'm making my own desktop and i want a countdown script on it. i want it to say something like: Days Until Kickoff (then insert days here). The world cup (which is what i'm counting down to) starts on june 11, 2010. i can't find much online and i'm pretty much a n00b when it comes to this stuff. i'm hoping someone on here can help me out with this. thnks again.

 

[VPrime]

Can some one help me change a script of mine?
I had this working perfect under leopard but when I upgraded to snow leopard I couldn't get the cpu usage to work.

echo CPU Usage

top -l 1| awk '/CPU usage/ {print $8, $9}'

top -l 1| awk '/CPU usage/ {print $10, $11}'

top -l 1| awk '/CPU usage/ {print $12, $13}'

echo""

echo Memory Usage &top -l 1 | awk '/PhysMem/ {print "Used: " $8}'

top -l 1 | awk '/PhysMem/ {print "Free: " $10}'

echo""
echo Macintosh HD
df -h | grep "disk1s2" | awk '{print "Total Space: " $2}'
df -h | grep "disk1s2" | awk '{print "Free Space: " $4}'

echo " "
echo Trash Size
du -sh ~/.Trash/ | awk '{print $1}'

Also, I would like to add a
"Inactive memory" and
"Total free memory" ( free+inactive)

I tried various things but couldn't get them working...
Thanks.

Wait, has anyone figured out how to pin adium to the desktop? Or am I just being dense and missed it? Nothing came up in the search of this thread!
