Random wallpaper for Gnome

I really love the comic strips of this site: http://pbfcomics.com/
This simple bash script replace your background image with a random strip from the website:

#!/bin/bash
gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_options -t string "centered"
while true; do
    wget -q http://pbfcomics.com/`curl -s http://pbfcomics.com/?comic=random | sed -n 's/.*id="topimg" src="([^"]*)".*/1/p'` -O - > current
    gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename -t string "$PWD/current"
    sleep 1800
done

If you have any enhancement you are welcome ;)

WordPress alternative stats

Greasemonkey LogoI don’t like flash too much Flash, “probably” because of this.

I like wordpress.com because it is free, it runs wordpress (!) and many other reasons, but a thing I don’t understand is why the stats page uses a flash application instead of a simple, ordinary image. And before my iBook deserted me, I wasn’t able even to see my stats!

That’s why, some weeks ago, I coded wp-stats replacer. The script is very very simple and is an attempt to use the Google Chart API.

example

In the next picture (click for larger) you can see what the script does.
plain vs flash

conclusion

This script is only a simple prototype, I would like to expand it to visualize multiple and different stats.
You can download the script from box.net.
Any advice?

Concerto Smashing Pumpkins a Milano (in verità Assago), 2 feb 2008

Con un po’ di ritardo causa esame dico solamente: “CHE FIGATA!“.

I Pumpkins
La foto è nell’album di mia morosa e, visto che mi appartiene, mi appartengono anche le foto scattate da lei. A parte gli scherzi ci siamo divisi l’arduo compito di fare foto al buio.

Aprire con Porcelina sembrava dire “sì, siamo noi, gli Smashing Pumpkins”. A parte questo all’inizio del concerto non ci credevo molto, pensavo di rimanere deluso, ma quando hanno attaccato con Tonight tonight avevo gli occhi lucidi.
