Geektool For Windows Mac In Beta

You can find Reeder for iOS in the App store as a released product and Reeder for Mac in beta, here.

Over the holidays, I did some geeking out and configured one of my screens with Geektool.

Geektool allows you to display on your desktop various kinds of information.

In the picture above, the to-do list on the left, the post-it note, stock quotes, bible quote, webcam picture and the date weather information are all embedded in the desktop using Geektool.

It is a preference pane module that allows you to display the contents of a file (e.g.

Post-It note which is simply a note that exists in Notational Velocity), an image from a webserver (e.g.

Omnifocus to-do list cut off on the left or the extracted Bible quote from Daily-verse.com).

Also, dont forget to customize your desktop image to work with the Geektool elements like the old paper and yellow post-it on my school blackboard.

You can find many Geektool scripts (and images of some very tricked out Desktops on the internet).

Just Google Geektool For the Omnifocus Geeklets to embed your overdue and due soon items on the desktop, please click here.

As for the Bible quote, that is a Python Script written by my good friend Nilesh that extracts a daily bible verse from the website daily-verse.com.

You need to install Beautiful Soup, which is a Python HTMLXML parser, and it can be found here.

The script is: from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup import urllib2 page urllib2.urlopen( ) soup BeautifulSoup(page) thequotation soup.h2.prettify()12::-15 thesource soup.h3.prettify()5::-7 print thequotation n n thesource I used a Corsiva Hebrew Bold Font 18 points and full justification.

Also, you need to remember to force carriage returns in Geektool.

Have fun customizing your desktop Enjoy Tags: Geektool, Mac, Software.

And I want it from multiple perspectives which means in this age of biased reporting.multiple news sources.

To keep on-top of the information, I am a big user of RSS feeds.

What is an RSS feed Geek alert ahead.skip next paragraph if you want.

According to Wikipedia, RSS (most commonly expanded as Really Simple Syndication) is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated workssuch as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and videoin a standardized format.

An RSS document (which is called a feed, web feed, or channel) includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship.

Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically.

RSS feeds can be read using software called an RSS reader, feed reader, or aggregator, which can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based.

A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs.

The user subscribes to a feed by entering into the reader the feeds URI or by clicking an RSS icon in a web browser that initiates the subscription process.

The RSS reader checks the users subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds.

RSS allows users to avoid manually inspecting all of the websites they are interested in, and instead subscribe to websites such that all new content is pushed onto their browsers when it becomes available.

Geekiness aside, it is a way to have changes from website come to you in a reader rather than you going to various websites.

I had been using NetNewsWire on my Mac and iPhone combined with Google Reader to provide syncing.

But no longer I have moved to a new package on both platforms, Reeder.
