The script is here, with the original author’s annotations and details etc: - this script runs automatically at about 7.00 every morning, and can be run manually during the day for cleanup if necessary Comprar euskal makila, Brad karpiak, Get year from date object in java, Anastasia georgiou. I’m fairly rubbish at scripting so any help would be massively appreciated. If anyone could come up with a totally different way to allow iCal to remain closed (parsing the calendar files?) it would be amazing. Naturally this impacts on geektool’s up-to-the-minute accuracy. Can anyone make any progress on this?Īlso does anyone have any better ideas? Currently I have made iCal dockless and it runs in the background invisibly taking up a tiny bit of CPU which is not ideal, but I have the scripts run every hour via Cronnix so iCal stays open inevitably. I want to make it as neat and sensible as possible basically. See what I mean? Rather like the brilliant icalevents widget here S p e c s a v e r s 0 9 : 4 0 t o 1 0 : 4 0ĭ i n n e r w i t h C h r i s 1 7 : 0 0 t o 1 8 : 0 0 T h u r s d a y, S e p t e m b e r 1 3, 2 0 0 7 I don 't need to see each event with the individual date underneath. This is ok, but I want to make it better. T h u r s d a y, S e p t e m b e r 1 3, 2 0 0 7, 1 7 : 0 0 t o 1 8 : 0 0 T h u r s d a y, S e p t e m b e r 1 3, 2 0 0 7, 0 9 : 4 0 t o 1 0 : 4 0 I’ve already fiddled with it to get it to trim the seconds from the event start time and end time (which i thought were unnecessary.) I’ve also deleted the bit that tells you which calendar the event is from. The Events script is a little less perfect. I’m happy with the to-do list script - I’ve fiddled and managed to get it to include to-do’s without deadlines. Not that I know what ‘less’ does, but it seems to work well. Both of which write the events and to-dos to a text file that I then get Geektool to show on the desktop via the ‘less’ shell command. I’ve resorted to two Applescripts I found at. It had the advantage of working without opening iCal because it was parsing the calendar files themselves. One Perl script I found looked promising but was entirely beyond me and I couldn’t get it to work. You can submit your own geeklets too!Ĭustom GeekTool Setup from ’ve been playing around with iCal and Geektool trying to come up with a way to show Upcoming Events and my To-Do’s on the Desktop. Geeklets: a nice collection, and well categorized selection of geeklets. Here are some of the best script resources I’ve found (feel free to share yours in the comments below):īlog of Francesco Mugnai: includes scripts and inspiration (screenshots) showing how you can trick out GeekTool. Conveniently, the date Terminal command has a number of options to change the style of the date. If you type date into the Terminal and press enter, you should get exactly the same thing back as shown by GeekTool. Many scripts are freely available from all corners of the net. Format the date The Shell option on GeekTool works just like the Terminal. (Did I mention, GeekTool’s also FREE?) :) It’s far more customizable than Stattoo, in that you can place your GeekTool widgets anywhere you want on your screen. GeekTool has replaced Panic Software’s Stattoo for me. It’s open source (you can download the source code and make any customizations, should you want to). It also works fine on earlier versions of Mac OS X. GeekTool works just fine with Snow Leopard. What I like about this approach is that the To Do list stays front and center on all my screens, keeping me focused. I have instant access to my daily “To Dos” using GeekTool and a standard text file. You can also display text file information and images using GeekTool. You can choose custom fonts and change the colors of them to suit your needs (and taste). GeekTool not only lets you display the results of the scripts, but it also lets you customize how those scripts look. Just about anything that’s UNIX shell scriptable can be displayed using GeekTool. On the lower right side, I have access to a handy calendar. On the lower right hand side, I have the date, time, my IP address and the local weather, all at my ready. GeekTool is a MacOS X prefPane that lets you display different types of information on your screen, similar to the screenshot below: I’m late to the party, but I am now a huge fan of GeekTool.
