 @packrat .. Nice Job!! Great family activity.

Yeah, to the LEGO uninitiated, get on board really amazing stuff creatively.
My young nephew from age 5, now age 9 is a LEGO maven. He absorbs LEGO puzzles.
Amazing, He just looks at the picture on the box & Viola.. It's done.
Of course, his favorite video game is MindCraft   ;)

  You may remember (VastOne), that I love Fluxbox
Just starting to use FluxBox seriously this year with Sid. So, I am happy to see another FluxBox regular in the ranks.

Scripts / Re: Best of Bash Links
October 02, 2013, 05:16:46 PM
 I dragged this over from a #! post that I made a couple of years ago.
A bash script to display the weather in  a pop up terminal display. Tiling guys will like this one. Seems apropos for Flux and OB also.
Basically a one liner that utilizes the weather-util package to display a StationID and results.
You could incorporate Zenity as well if you want an X look about it.
I for instance don't have a weather app installed in Sid nor the liquid icon listed in could. So I replaced it with the Cloud icon from my Dreampie..
Just save it and make it executable. Then you can make a launcher icon or just type it to launch it. Perhaps Cron it for particular times.
#!/bin/bash
xfce4-terminal -I "/usr/share/xfce4/weather/icons/liquid/30.png" --geometry 65x9 -T "Weather Report" -H -e "weather-util -c NYC -s NY -i KNYC"

QuoteOne last thought.  To my mind the greatest part of bash learning is that it can be acquired on an as needed basis.  You learn a little to do what you want to and then can move on to something else that you want to do.  There is not any required order to speak of.  It is like a book that always opens to the page you need.

   Yes, that is a very important point. I have bash scripts that I have usefully created as needed over the last twenty years and none of each is much like the other. I went about creating each one for a particular need. While I never learned BASH, as pointed out, from A-z like Java or python each creation was easy to code with resources available. Great tool..
   
    In later years I attempted to replace some BASH scripts with Python or Java or even C but as BASH scripts are usually short and to the point the exercise of switching code was not fruitful...

 Well then, due to the sentimental attachment the gift,  a Matchbox car from One's youth is a much more valuable gift.    :)
