Geek to Live: Mirror files across systems with rsync - Backup utilities - Lifehacker

by ghis

You use more computers and operating systems to get your work done today than ever before. But how do you keep your files synchronized between them? Plenty of OS-specific tools can mirror folders, but you need something cross-platform and highly customizable. You need the 10-year-old command line file mirroring utility called rsync.

Korben - Actualité informatique high tech et geek - Magasine

by decembre & 4 others

Des rubriques « geeks », dans les magazines, j’en ai souvent lu ... Et franchement, bonne grosse surprise. Un vrai magazine (donc beau papier), pas trop cher (4,90 €), qui sort tous les 2 mois et qui aborde la culture Geek dans toute sa splendeur… On y parle de techno (un peu quand même), de cinéma, de musique, de jeux vidéos, de manga, et de tout un tas de tendances geeks en pleine évolution. Par exemple,j’y ai découvert April March (interview aussi), la cuisine moléculaire et l’historique du cinéma d’animatroniques. J’ai aussi pu mieux comprendre d’où venait cet engouement pour la musique 8 bits ou encore pourquoi NoLife était une chaîne vraiment hors norme (et géniale !). Il y a aussi un très bon article sur les nouvelles séries US fantastique / SF, ce qui m’a permis de voir ce que j’allais faire chauffer sur Megavidéo prochainement (Tipiiiiiiak !) et un reportage sur les subbers (gens qui font les sous titres de vos séries préférées).

Time/Weather Desktop on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

by karlcow

Well, most of the work is done by Earthdesk and GeekTool 3.
Earthdesk is set to Natural Color, Equirectangular projection, Natural Color, Real Moonlight, centered on Vienna, Background: Starfield. Zoom 80%, Clouds 80%, Brightness 80%.
In GeekTool, the times and the weathers are all separate Shell "geeklets".
Times are generated by running shell commands like
env TZ=Asia/Tokyo date " %l:%M %p"
every 20 seconds
The weather is the tricky part. The way I am doing it now, if I am not careful, gets me throttled for too many concurrent requests to the wunderground.com API server. It also fails badly if I am disconnected, so I will need to do it differently.
FWIW: I have a PHP script which I run as separate Shell Geeklets. I invoke it with the name of the city I want. It then hits wunderground and gets back an XML stream of the local weather, which I parse, format and echo. (the way I'd change this is run the script from cron, with a 30 second wait between requests, and cache the results locally, which I would then call from the Shell Geeklets)
From there it's just a question of setting fonts, sizes, colors and moving the little Geeklet boxes around as you want them.
