I embedded this into my desktop using GeekTool, and it updates automatically as my to-do list changes. basically, it shows you what you completed yesterday (or the last day on which you completed a task) and what is still on your list. I use todo.txt to manage my to-do list, and there is a little add on that takes your to-do list and produces a rundown. You’ll note I’ve made 3 annotations on the image. I found a cool typing paper background and an old typewriter font to give it some flavor. I use multiple “desktops” but all of them have the same basic look as above. I have a 27″ iMac so my screen is pretty big. Click on the image to see a larger version. And thanks to the fact that my to-do list is based on text files, and that I use text files for many other things, it was fairly easy to include some real-time analytics embedded into my desktop via GeekTool. I spent this afternoon giving my desktop a long-overdue makeover. Items : if ' xA0 '.Every now and then, I need a change of scenery, and that includes what I see on my computer desktop. Argv 1:: with open ( filename, 'rb' ) as f: text = f. ) the only thing i do is basically copy/paste for most of them. How youre suppose to do it.)to hide the files, same code, but with FALSE instead of TRUEone last thing, i forgot to thank all the people writing the codes (like xtacocorex for example. (edit: decided to try just for the hell of it. To be sure, just create a random hidden folder (.geektool) and the only thing youre gonna have to do is change your geeklets scripts. If its not, i guess i would try creating a '.tmp' folder (the dot makes it hidden), but i really dont know if this would work, since i havent tried it. Defaults write AppleShowAllFiles TRUEkillall Finderthere should be a folder name 'tmp'.

Try it: 1) open Activity Monitor, 2) open Sys prefs, 3) click GT, 4) click Show All to close the GT prefs, 5) repeat 3 and 4 a number of times and see the real mem increase.You can also make the real mem it skyrocket by 1) opening the GT prefs, 2) click on, say, your desktop or some other app to move the focus from GT to that app, 3) click on the GT prefs window to focus it again, 4) repeat 2 and 3 a number of times.So long story short, once a user has all his geeklets set up, its wise to restart GeekTool to release any unnecessarily consumed memory. When working on geeklets) - the amount of real mem consumed will climb. ![]() ![]() If I then subsequently re-open the GT prefs and close them - and repeat this a number of time (i.e. I'm on my home machine now (before I was work w/ a different GT setup) and GT is using 46MB real mem after having initially opened the GT prefs and closing it. I looked at this memory used a bit more.With Activity Monitor open, I killed GeekTool ('GT') and restarted it.
