On the Desktop

I have now gotten back to the OS X world and am setting up my computer for productive use in my studio. One of my favorite system applications is GeekTool, a very nifty little program which lets you display information from various sources directly on your desktop. As you see below, I have made my clock and calendar information run on the desktop, so all I need to do is glance at it. I love doing this. I’ve also written a little python script that calculates the days since or until the Solstices, Equinoxes and the Cross-Quarter celebrations which happened in between them. This is a fun little script that I host on github. It was super nice to write this, although to run it on your machine, I must note that it depends on another package called pyephem. You can see the results of this program in the light blue text. And where did I get that wallpaper from, geez, I really can not remember, possibly here.
