Ok so i was waiting for a long time to get settled in, and admittedly took about an hour to prepare everything (and im still living like poo poo?) Most of the cable clutter is out of the way.

Haha.. no we don't.

There are three doors to my room, and because I live with roommates I like to be able to lock the one other door thats not my bathroom.

I recently rearranged my room and this is the current setup... its gotten pretty close to optimal but I am waiting on a mini displayport to dvi adapter so I can start running the big monitor off of the macbook.


I wish this thread was more active ... its fascinating seeing people's setups.

I've been using GeekTool for that. It is a little unstable (when messing with the size and variables it sometimes crashes, but otherwise runs fine on 10.6), but works well for what I want. There are scripts to display time/date and other such if you google it!

What scripts are YOU using? I found some results on the macrumors forums but I really like that font and stuff the way you have it set up.

Edit: I figured it out. Select shell from the drop down and type 'date+%l:%m' 'date +%a' 'date+%b' 'date+%d' in different entries.. then tweak settings to your hearts content!~

I see your edit but I thought I'd say, at least, I'm using Helvetica Neue UltraLight for the font. You seem to have the script down! I used to have the weather script but for some reason it deleted itself or something :confused:. I need to set that back up.

Edit: The weather code is as follows:

curl --silent "http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=YOURCITYHERE&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>//'

Go to this site, or google, to find your location's code and replace YOURCITYHERE with the location string.

Thanks ! Helvetica Neue ultralight looks super clean!

I just cant get enough of this thread. Here is my latest configuration.

It is temporary until I move into a new place, but aside from a little cable crap I can't complain.

If i grab the side of it and wobble it, it moves surprisingly little. I figure if there is a major bump (like an earthquake) it would fall over anyways.

Also I really like your view. Is that a garden, or.. ?


You could call it a garden.

I haven't done any gardening though -- it was like this when we moved in and it actually extends into the wilderness beyond this little patch. So far I've seen a rabbit, squirrels, several deer, bluejays, hummingbirds, and other little brown ones... sparrows maybe?

It's a nice break from starcraft 2 and web development anyways.
