Since I moved full-time to my new (shiny, beautiful) MacBook Pro, I have been tinkering with various solutions to my Twitter problem. I want to be able to update whenever I want, but I don’t want visual alerts that people I am following have posted. I would, however, like to have my timeline somewhere easy-to-see, so I don’t forget about it. Sound confusing? Perhaps.
So I came up with a quick and dirty solution to embed my Twitter timeline to my desktop.
/usr/local/bin/twitter timeline
Enjoy
Hey, I’ve just been getting into Geektool and saw this post. After getting the twitter gem working, I haven’t been able to get geektool to display the updates. I’ve had similar problems with geektool not displaying certain commands. How’d you get yours working?
Thanks for the great guide. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while.
