Hey everyone and welcome to BluePhoenix.tv, as you know, this is the ultimate in anything tech.
Today, we are going to be talk about a cool new application that I found on the internet called the GeekTool. Now, a GeekTool was a Mac PrefPane option menu that allows you to add some pretty cool features to your desktop.
So as you can see on the desktop here, on my screen, I have GeekTool open and under console, I have opened up or made a show command that will display my processes on my desktop. So using top –n43 -l2 –o-CPU > top.txt && tail –n52 top.txt I can basically refresh every 10 seconds the processes that are running on my computer
Now, if you can see this which is probably unlikely basically I am running ScreenFlow which a 143.1% because it is actually encoding another video, I did a little earlier while creating this video which is running at 17.0%. GeekTool is really, really cool because it is not only can you put such as the processes on your desktop, you have the options to put pictures or files and other different things that will allow you to basically get an overview or have some pretty cool things on your desktop.
Now, if you want to kind a compare this to back in the day when we have Active Desktop and Windows that is what you would compare to. But for all you Mac OS X Leopard users, this is the great application, you should definitely check it out. I will have a link in the show notes over here for you to be able to click on and go to the website and download this application along with if you go to BluePhoenix.tv and check out the blog post on it. I have some cool commands that you can put in to the show so that you will be able to use processes or modern your processes, networking usage. Pretty much you name it, your computer is running it and it has a log for it, I can be able to get to post under your desktop.
Like always, thanks for watching BluePhoenix.tv. Definitely check us out at, of course, BluePhoenix.tv subscribers so that you can all rate, comment or whatever and have a great day.
