A friend of mine, Micke, showed me the app "GeekTool" yesterday, and I stuck for it imediatly.

The app is really great. It lets you use terminal commands to show certain data on your desktop. I started using it right away, and this is my result:

Geektool 2.1.2 can be downloaded here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/17621

Now, ofcourse not everybody is good in shell scripting and/or terminal commands to I show you the commands below:

For IP address (Internal):

ifconfig en0 | awk '/inet / {print "[IP]\t\t\t" $2}'

For Uptime:

uptime | awk '{print "[Uptime]\t\t" $3 " " $4 " " $5 }' | sed -e 's/.$//g'

For HD free space:

df -hl | grep 'disk0s2' | awk '{print "[HD]\t\t\t"$4"/"$2" free ("$5" used)"}'

For RAM usage:

top -l 1 | awk '/PhysMem/ {print "[RAM]\t\tUsed: " $8 " Free: " $10}'

I found out about the iphone game "Mafia Wars" this thursday, and I think its great.

The idea of it all is that you are a "Gangster" or "Mombster" (or what you want to call it) and you have to gain as much "point" as possible. You can either gain points by figting other players or by doing jobs.
The game free to download from the app store, but you can also by a version which gives you more "Gothfather points"; which you can use to buy extra stuff.

My Mafia ID is: 2000 7540 57

It arrived today, my new monster.

Just finished reinstallning it to my preferences and whiches, removed languages ect. Installing XCode now, next up is recompiling apache and php with mysql support.

Here is an image of my new beauty!

Cheers!
