60 had been the shape of the vignette is the negatice space of missing piece No. I secured the backlit puzzle ball between two large pieces of modeling clay to prevent it from rolling away (it had happened a few times in the beginning), and photographed directly through the hole where piece No. On the inside, the pieces are white, of course, but they are also numbered, and at first I thought I'd pick piece No 1, but then I remembered that I'd already shot numbers on a toy piece for 'one Color', so I looked for a nice puzzle piece pattern instead and found this star. So back to the bauble: It depicts a cosy forest Christmas scene with lots of snow, a starry blue hour sky, a Christmas tree (of course) and the forest animals – such as deer, squirrels, rabbits, birds – gathering around various feeders in short it depicts almost everything that makes you go 'AaaWhat looked like a fragile construction consisting of 60 parts (diameter of the ball: 7 cm / 2,7 inches, the small round parts which you can see here each have a diameter of 4 mm / 0,15 inches) proved to be very sturdy and definitely 'take-apart-resistant', but in the end I succeeded to pull out one piece from the starry blue hour sky. I love to play Adventure games, and puzzles are a part of the gaming routine, but real life puzzles? Nil. I had little – or rather no – other choice for 'Puzzle' but this Ravensburger Christmas bauble jigsaw puzzle ball, because I don't own any other puzzles. What definitely is guaranteed, though, is that from today it's 45 days until Christmas Eve :) And whether you celebrate or not, I'm sure that on everybody's wishlist is also a vaccine. Look at for more examples and scripts.there's a secure vaccine against Covid-19? I wish it would happen so soon. A number of scripts and examples are available online, including my own that allow you to keep an eye on uptime/CPU/RAM usage, current weather conditions, and even upcoming items from The Hit List. This is a pretty simplistic example of what you can do with GeekTool.

The Keep On Top checkbox is handy as it will cause the output of the Geeklet to float over any windows that also occupy that space on the desktop. Resize the window to make sure all of the text is visible. You can set a background color and opacity, change the text font and color, and whatever else you want in order to customize the text to your preference. Within the Geeklet square on the desktop, you should see this information now. With a script like this, you could set it to 3600 to run every hour as this information should not change often. Change the Refresh Every option to something like 600 to run the script every 10 minutes.

Switch back to GeekTool and in the Command field enter: /Users//bin/gt-scripts/gt-ipinfo.sh or the full path to where this script lives. The script simply displays the external IP (obtained from ) and the IP(s) assigned to the computer on the local network. Next, make the script executable and test it by executing: $ chmod a+x gt-ipinfo.sh. Create a new file called gt-ipinfo.sh in this directory with the following contents: #!/bin/sh external=$(curl -s | awk ' fi I store my GeekTool scripts in ~/bin/gt-scripts/. Now open the Terminal and find a place to create your shell script. In the Command section of the Properties, we want to give it the path to a shell script to execute. You can move it around, resize it, and adjust the properties at this point. Drag the box to to the location on the desktop where you want it to be displayed. An empty box will appear and a Properties window will show up.

As an illustration, we’ll create a Geeklet that displays the computer’s internal and external IP addresses.ĭrag the Shell icon to the desktop. Once the Preference Pane is installed, you can create a new “Geeklet” by dragging one of the icons to your desktop. The real power in GeekTool is displaying output from shell scripts, which makes the “Geek” in GeekTool apt for many. These can be used to display or tail the contents of files on the desktop (think log files), the output of shell scripts, and image graphics (like RRD or MRTG graphs), respectively.įor a lot of people, GeekTool may be nothing more than a novelty, but for system administrators and others, GeekTool can be a real boon. It comes with three modules: the file plugin, the shell plugin, and the image plugin.
