I’ve come up with a pretty neat GeekTool display. I rounded up all the scripts/commands that I’m using and wrote a ‘little’ post about them. If you’re looking for things to customize GeekTool with then you might find my setup interesting.

I have my desktop covered in GT text now. Currently running:

processes, memory usage, disk usage, a couple of notes, twitter timeline, twitter friends’ statuses, and the TAB forum daily post to see when a new post hits the forum

All nicely, unobtrusively updated on my desktop. It is wonderul. I had heard mention of GT but never looked into it, now I am hooked.

Since I first asked you about this, I have now setup some applescripts to pull itunes track information and am displaying that along with some modified top information. I haven’t yet played with the file or image parts of geektool yet but I think i am going to add my todo.txt to the desktop soon to keep that always showing todo list then use quicksilver to quickily update the todo list. Quicksilver and Geektool I think can be powerful allies to “getting things done”.

Maybe you could show us how to that :)
