I've come up with a pretty neat GeekTool display. I rounded up all the scripts/commands that I'm using and wrote a <a href="http://www.keynote2keynote.com/2007/04/10/ultimate-geektool-setup-pimp-your-desktop-part-2/" rel="nofollow">'little' post</a> about them. If you're looking for things to customize GeekTool with then you might find my setup interesting. http://www.keynote2keynote.com/2007/04/10/ultimate-geektool-setup-pimp-your-desktop-part-2/ After reading the two articles here on TAB and the LifeHacker article I installed GeekTool and have been playing around with it for a while.

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. Thanks again Nick for changing the way I compute. I have my desktop covered in GT text now. Currently running:

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". Right on, thanks Nick.

Maybe you could show us how to that :) I tried to set up the thing in Geektool that shows your Quicksilver tags on the desktop but couldn’t get it to work. Maybe you could show us how to that :)
