<description><![CDATA[Parent page: Service Functions – XML (QTP, VBScript)  Note. Although there could be no &#8220;reusab]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Parent page: <a title="Permanent Link to Service Functions – XML (QTP, VBScript)" rel="bookmark" href="http://automationbeyond.wordpress.com/2009/10/02/service-functions-xml/" target="_blank"><strong>Service Functions – XML (QTP, VBScript)</strong></a> </p>
<p><strong>Note.</strong> Although there could be no &#8220;reusable function&#8221; that would construct XPath for you, I store current post under &#8220;XML Service Functions&#8221; category, as it&#8217;s closely related to it. XPath is fairly simple to learn and very powerful in use. <br />
You can use free <a href="http://www.organicbit.com/Posts/2007-02-XPathDesigner.html" target="_blank">XPath Designer Tool</a> to validate queries you constructed.</p>
<p><strong>What is XPath?</strong> The each element in XML tree has its own unique address.<br />
The XPath expressions provide the ability to navigate around the tree, selecting elements (groups of nodes, single nodes, attributes, text values, etc.) by a variety of conditions.</p>
<p><strong>What does it mean?</strong> You can address any XML tree element without looping through the tree, i.e. as you use array[index] notation to get an element of the array, for XML you would use XML[XPath].</p>
<p><strong>How basic XPath syntax looks like?</strong> You will see that it is very similar to a disk folder/file addressing, as it&#8217;s a tree structure too.<br />
For example, filepath &#8220;c:\documents\personal\pictures\1.jpg&#8221;  in XML-XPath notation would look like &#8220;./documents/personal/pictures/picture[1]&#8220;.</p>
<p><strong>What are the differences?</strong><br />
If we can address only one file with a single pathstring, in XML we can address a collection of elements with a single pathstring. If in any folder there could be no duplicated filenames, in XML it&#8217;s allowed: elements will be referred by index. <br />
If we can address an element of an array only by index value, in XML we can address elements by index value or by element value. If with arrays all indexing is absolute, in XML it could be relative.</p>
<p><strong>Examples.</strong><br />
Get a collection of book items in a library XML structure. Xpath = &#8220;./library/book&#8221;.<br />
Get first book in the collection. Xpath = &#8220;./library/book[1]&#8220;.<br />
Get a collection of book items written by James Bach. Xpath = &#8220;<span style="font-size:x-small;">descendant::book[author/@firstname='James' and author/@lastname='Bach']</span>&#8220;.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><blockquote><p><a href="http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1191272117978#tabview=tab0">CorelDRAW</a> had its 20th anniversary just recently. If a software can stand for 20 years it couldn&#8217;t be that bad, right? But yes, it looks awkward and many people simply ignore it, since it is not &#8220;cool&#8221; enough. Its designer community isn&#8217;t large and the software itself has some disadvantages, which make it look a bit awkward. Let&#8217;s reviews some advantages and disadvantages of using this software.</p></blockquote>
<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>Why is that only people already addicted to <a href="http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1191272117978#tabview=tab0">CorelDRAW</a> use it? Maybe they know something we don&#8217;t. In this article, I&#8217;ll review some of the issues with CorelDRAW. I think the developers of this software have created a sharp program, but not so user friendly.</p>
<p>CorelDRAW is very precise and reliable. All the tools give maximum control, but you must fight your way through to learn them. It&#8217;s definitely not the software that you can take for a quick spin and easily create great artwork.</p>
<p>The good news is that when you get used to its feature set, it becomes part of your thinking and can be a strong tool for creating astounding artwork. Let&#8217;s review a few pros and cons of <a href="http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1191272117978#tabview=tab0">CorelDRAW</a>.</p>
<h3>Er&#8230;How Do I Navigate?</h3>
<p>First of all forget about the <em>Space Bar equals Pan</em> thesis. CorelDRAW has a navigator board but I must admit it&#8217;s not the real thing and most people don&#8217;t even know where it is (small box at the lower-right corner of the interface).</p>
<p>The easiest way to navigate is to zoom in and out to the pointer area with your mouse. This can be tricky sometimes if your mouse isn&#8217;t smooth enough. Sounds strange but once accustomed to this navigation technique you will get addicted to it. If you still feel lost grab the Hand Tool (H) to pan, and press spacebar to change back to the previous tool.</p>
<div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://vectortuts.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/article_awkward_coreldraw/navigator.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div>
<h3>What About Freehand Brushes?</h3>
<p>This is a real pain. CorelDraw&#8217;s freehand tools are only a concept but are nearly impossible to use them. Just try to do a quick hatching with the the freehand tool. You will end up with a mess, since you will continuously select the previously drawn lines.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s OK though, as this is not primarily freehand painting or sketching software. There are some other industry standard tools on the Corel palette (for example Painter) which excel in this field. But once again this is a week point since the core concept of the software is not to painting.</p>
<div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://vectortuts.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/article_awkward_coreldraw/brush.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div>
<h3>The World&#8217;s Best and Easiest Curves/Nodes Management</h3>
<p>When you get down to the details you will be amazed how easy is to use the bezier tool and how precise its curve management is. If you are after vectorization then Corel Draw is great. Corel Draw is excellent software when it comes to vector tools. You have all the control over the nodes and curves with mathematical precision.</p>
<p>The right-click context menu makes vectorization so precise that technical illustration is easy to create. I take a deep bow in front of the team who developed this. This part is the strength of CorelDRAW from the dawn of vector software.</p>
<div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://vectortuts.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/article_awkward_coreldraw/nodes.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div>
<h3>Super Fine Gradient Mesh</h3>
<p>You need photo-realistic vectors? Just grab the super easy gradient mesh tool and you will make unbelievable vector portraits in no time. The Corel company has bundled photo-realistic art already in the version 8 clip art, and don&#8217;t forget the Hedy Lamar illustration on the cover of version 8. If you check the <a href="http://coreldraw.com/media/">Corel community galleries</a> you will find some gorgeous photo-realistic portraits, though the galleries are sometimes awkward and the community isn&#8217;t very exciting.</p>
<div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://vectortuts.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/article_awkward_coreldraw/mesh.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div>
<h3>Highly Controllable Boolean Operations</h3>
<p>I simply love this part of CorelDRAW. When you need to cut, weld, trim or intersect just open up the shaping docker and you have maximum control over the Boolean operations and the resulting shapes. Actually, you can base your style on these fine set of tools. Check them out for yourself.</p>
<div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://vectortuts.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/article_awkward_coreldraw/shaping.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div>
<h3>Strange and Useful Effects</h3>
<p>The effect palette is also a strength of CorelDRAW. I use these tools most of the time, especially the contour tool. Try some of this for extra options.</p>
<div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://vectortuts.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/article_awkward_coreldraw/contour.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div>
<h3>Color Separation and Prepress Goodness</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;re working in the DTP business, CorelDRAW is your humble servant. It corrects your mistakes silently and makes color separation and prepress work as easy as it can be. The main concept of this software, the precision, has its word in the printing menu.</p>
<div class="tutorial_image"><img src="http://vectortuts.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/article_awkward_coreldraw/print.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div>
<h3>Screen Refreshing</h3>
<p>If you want to spare yourself from getting upset, then don&#8217;t forget to press Command + W often to refresh the screen. CorelDRAW tends to forget to do this for you, which <em>can be quite annoying sometimes</em>.</p>
<h3>Trace!</h3>
<p>CorelDRAW has top notch tracing software integrated. It is quick, highly-customizable, and precise. Even if you don&#8217;t like other parts of the software, trying Corel Draw&#8217;s trace is a must. As a plus they have included a font recognition routine in the X4 version, which uses <a href="http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/">What the font!</a> to find out what font was used on your scan. Nice idea!</p>

<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1191272117978#tabview=tab0">CorelDRAW</a> can be awkward, especially to new users, but powerful in the hands of a seasoned user. You must decide the right vector software for you.</p>
<p>If you are a fan of South Park, choose Corel Draw because all the characters, scenery, and props are drawn using this vector package, as wikipedia <a title="wikipediaOnCorelDRAW" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corel_draw">states</a>.</p>
<p>Finally, below is some artwork from renowned vectorist Roberlan, which showcase the choosing a vector software platform controversy.</p>

<div>

<description><![CDATA[Backing up your Joomla database is important.&#160; Why, you ask?&#160; Well, for the simple reason ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Backing up your Joomla database is important.&#160; Why, you ask?&#160; Well, for the simple reason that the database is the most important part of your website.&#160; Templates can be re-installed, just like plug-ins, modules and components.&#160; But without your database, you’re doomed.&#160; It contains all articles, and anything Joomla related that was created over time.&#160; Users, Newsletters, forum posts, links, menu item…&#160;&#160; If you don’t have a back-up of your database to fall back on when you run into problems, you probably have to start all over.&#160; </p>
<p>That’s why it’s important to back-up your Joomla database.&#160; There might be “Joomla” ways to do this, but I’ve always preferred to do this manually.&#160; To back-up your Joomla database, you’ll need to use a tool which allows you to access / manage your MySQL databases – whether they’re stored on a local machine or on the server of your hosting company.&#160; Below, you’ll find two tools that I regularly use to get the job done.&#160; </p>
<p>1.&#160; PHPMyadmin:&#160; Used so often, that it’s considered to be a “standard” by many.&#160; This tool is mainly used to manage databases; and might already be installed on your server.&#160; By using the export function of this tool, you’ll get the SQL code you need to rebuild your database later on.&#160; Downside: You’ve got to paste it in notepad / your editor of choice and save it yourself.</p>
<p>2. PHPMybackuppro:&#160; This free tool has one goal: to allow you to back-up your databases in a simple way.&#160; It offers many options, like mailing the back-ups or FTP’ing them to a remote location.&#160; The big advantage of this tool is that, once it’s configured, making a back-up is as simple as pressing the “back up” button”.&#160; Or, if you’ve managed to schedule back-ups, you don’t even have to do a thing.&#160; </p>
<p>With these two tools, you should be able to do the job.&#160; In a future post, I’ll summarize how to make a back-up with PHPMyadmin.&#160; </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a title="By Design" href="http://www.abc.net.au/rn/bydesign/">By Design</a>, a fantastic Radio National Program recently focused on the accessibility of the Internet for people who are visually or hearing impaired. Having a website that is accessible to everyone in the community is critical for nonprofits and in particular for campaign websites. Access allows people to connect and participate in social and economic activities offered online.</p>
<p>This project interviews <strong>Dr. Scott Hollier</strong> Project manager of new media <a title="Media Access Australia" href="http://www.mediaaccess.org.au/">Media at Access Australia</a>. This organisation is a nonprofit whose  &#8216;role is to provide information about media access and to support the development and application of technological solutions to media access issues&#8217;.</p>
<p>The good news is that technology has come in leaps and bounds in the last couple of years developing tools giving people greater access. For example, many computer manufacturers build in tools at no extra cost. Macs are pretty good straight out of the box.</p>
<p>Both Internet Explorer &#38; Firefox have the ability to enlarge text, hear text  and read what&#8217;s going on in a video through sub titles. Dr Hollier went over the By Design website and audited it accessibility features. One tip he gave was to always put captions on  photos describing the photo. The caption can then be read aloud.</p>
<p>The <a title="Media Access" href="http://www.mediaaccess.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&#38;view=article&#38;id=11&#38;Itemid=6">Media Access </a>website is worth checking out in order to find tools and resources.</p>
<p>You can <a title="download the audio" href="http://www.abc.net.au/rn/bydesign/stories/2009/2742273.htm">download the audio</a> to this program or listen  now.</p>

<description><![CDATA[If done correctly, building your opt-in list can be profitable for your online business and the best]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>If done correctly, building your opt-in list can be profitable for your online business and the best use of your time. There are quite literally dozens of free and low cost how-to manuals available on the Internet for building an opt-in list and generating traffic for your website go to www.build-own-list.com. However, there are also hundreds of unscrupulous marketers eager to get in your wallet, rob you blind and leave you with empty promises. This article will present 3 free yet highly-profitable opt-in list building methods you should master before purchasing over-priced push-button tools or traffic.</p>
<p>Then, you rent a targeted opt-in list of subscribers or start an expensive pay-per-click campaign and start pushing traffic to your website. After a few days of marketing have gone by, you sorely come to realize that the only thing you&#8217;re left with are empty pockets and zero opt-ins!</p>
<p>So what could have gone wrong?</p>
<p>How is it that others have succeeded where you&#8217;ve failed? The most common mistake is that you dove in with both feet first. <br />In other words, you have to accept the mistakes that others would be interested in learning based on the purchase or your product or service in your interest! This could not be further from the truth. Just because you rented a targeted opt-in list or buy pay-per-click ads, does not mean they will opt-in or buy something from you immediately.</p>
<p>If yoo&#8217;re someone who has attempted to build an opt-in list, have had some success but would like to revive your list, keep reading. On the other hand, if you&#8217;re new to opt-in list building but want to learn how to build a profitable and responsive opt-in list fast, here are three quick and easy ways for you to do just that.</p>
<p>1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first.</p>
<p>Two of the easiest ways to start generating traffic for your website, building your opt-in list and your credibility is by writing articles and participating in related forums.</p>
<p>Writing and distributing well-written articles will allow you to establish credibility with your readers and pre-sell your wares. Participating in forums related to your interests will aid you in developing products or services your fellow forum members might be interested in buying.</p>
<p>Understand that people aren&#8217;t going to buy something from you based on your recommendation alone if they don&#8217;t know you. So when you&#8217;ve gotten a few articles under your belt and participated in helping people solve problems in forums related to your topic of interest, then expect to receive traffic for your website, subscribers to your opt-in list and sales.</p>
<p>2) Find a product or service that people want and need.</p>
<p>If your traffic and opt-in list is beginning to write and grow sales and articles in relevant forums, the next step to products or services that people find and need. Make sure to choose products and services to your newly acquired information from the forums and from which you gathered from your existing opt-in list of participants.</p>
<p>3) Make friends with other opt-in list builders.</p>
<p>This especially holds true if it&#8217;s someone who has already launched a successful opt-in list. These are people who have the experience in opt-in list building and experience is still the best teacher. Go to www.freelist-pro.com while there are countless articles and e-books available on the subject of opt-in list building online, there is nothing like getting a first hand account from someone you trust.</p>
<p>Experienced opt-in list builders will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do because they have gone through it. Even though most experienced opt-in list builders have a different slant on how to build a targeted and responsive opt-in list, you can almost always learn something new from their triumphs and failures and then take advantage of their experiences.</p>
<p>Building a profitable and responsive opt-in list doesn&#8217;t just happen overnight. There&#8217;s a lot of preparation and effort involved. Opt-in lists are built from scratch, as your list grows, Therefore, you must take time to maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable and if necessary, hire someone else to do all of this for you. Just remember that happy subscribers will someday become buying customers if you follow these 3 simple steps.</p>
<p>Keith Gloucestershire are the two best-selling electronics in generating traffic, lead generation and selection of books on the list of construction disciplines. His latest work &#34;11 days to opt-in list of the profit!&#34; Is a lint-free, comprehensive, step by step 11-part report will teach you how to become self-sufficient traffic and potential customer lists, and select the building is sufficient.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I hadn&#8217;t planned to go out on Friday but got talked into heading out for last orders. No tea, one pint and a shot of Jager was enough to unleash the Barney Gumble boozehound within. We all ended up going to a dive of a club and dancing to thoroughly horrible music. I was followed around all night by a bloke I kissed a few times when I was 17. He turned out to be a bit of a mentalist and was dropped like a hot potato. However many years on and not a lot has changed. He kept telling me how wonderful I looked and as I was waiting outside for a taxi, he approached me in front of all my mates to ask me out. He actually asked me if it would be inappropriate to ask me out, and I told him it was. Cue a little bit of pleading on his part and lots sniggering behind palms by my mates. He was banging on about it being fate or some other shitty line that I fell for when I was 17. My response? &#8220;If it&#8217;s meant to be, you&#8217;ll work out my number.&#8221; Consider yourself kicked to the kerb sunshine.  Still, I got lots of nice compliments from people I haven&#8217;t seen since I lost the weight. Schhweeet!</p>
<p>The rest of the weekend was pretty lazy. Had some food and chat with Alex, after he left, I watched films, took the hound out and had my dreams shattered by the outrageous exit of Jedward from X-Factor. I had such high hopes for them showing the the show up for the steaming pile of turd that it is. Gutted. Proper gutted. Little toerags lost me £250 too. </p>
<p>I found out why Ali didn&#8217;t make it over to mine last week. Turns out she was in the middle of being proposed to over a bag of McDonalds. LULZ. If ever there were a sign to NOT marry someone, that would be it. Lets put aside the countless number of times he cheated on her, being shorter than her, collecting Alien airfix models and thinking a long black trenchcoat is groundbreaking fashion&#8230; A proposal over a fucking Big Mac? Did he get the ring out of a gumball machine too?!   Next time I see her, I&#8217;m going to perform my own rendition of this classic. On repeat until the end of time. Dance moves and all.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;ve been a fan of <a href="http://www.tripit.com" target="_blank">Tripit </a>for some time. The site allows you to forward your travel confirmations and information via e-mail and Tripit does the rest. The build an itinerary, directions, etc. making trips a little easier to manage. For a while they&#8217;ve had an application for the iPhone which looks great, but what are the rest of us supposed to do?  You know, those of us who haven&#8217;t sold our souls to Apple?</p>
<p>Well I&#8217;m happy to say that Tripit for the Android phone is available in Beta. When it first went up it had a few bugs, but the Tripit team has responded very quickly to feedback and so far the application looks great. I&#8217;ve got a few trips coming up and will provide a better review once I&#8217;ve had a chance to use it on the road.</p>
<p>In the meantime, I encourage other web services to get with it and develop Android apps. A growing number of us are choosing a third way!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We are excited to announce the immediate availability of version 3.3 of the Metasploit Framework. This release includes 446 exploits, 216 auxiliary modules, and hundreds of payloads, including an in-memory VNC service and the Meterpreter. In addition, the Windows payloads now support NX, DEP, IPv6, and the Windows 7 platform.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for the blessings that we have.  Even if you don&#8217;t have much, its still worth being thankful for. This is one of my favorite quotes for Thanksgiving:</p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia,bookman old style,palatino linotype,book antiqua,palatino,trebuchet ms,helvetica,garamond,sans-serif,arial,verdana,avante garde,century gothic,comic sans ms,times,times new roman,serif;">&#8220;Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude.&#8221;  ~E.P. Powell<!--COE--></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia,bookman old style,palatino linotype,book antiqua,palatino,trebuchet ms,helvetica,garamond,sans-serif,arial,verdana,avante garde,century gothic,comic sans ms,times,times new roman,serif;">This means that if you just eat turkey, your not really taking the message of thanksgiving. It is a time of prayer and thanks and you should take it very seriously. If there&#8217;s one thing that you do on thanksgiving, and if nothing else.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The way GeekTool works is you put modules (called Geeklets) on your desktop, give it some code, a refresh rate, and it shows whatever you told it to. You can place it anywhere you want, make it any colour you want, and any size you want. The design possibilities are endless.</p>
<div id="attachment_60" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/full.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-60" title="full" src="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/full.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="187" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Desktop using GeekTool</p></div>
<p>This is what my desktop looks like, and it updates in real time to show me the time, date, battery percentage left, weather, and upcoming months.</p>
<p>So how can you do this? First you need to download <a title="GeekTool" href="http://projects.tynsoe.org/en/geektool/download.php" target="_blank">GeekTool</a>. Once you have it installed you just need to go to System Preferences&#62;Geek Tool and you&#8217;re all set to start adding Geeklets.</p>
<p>Grab the shell Geeklet and drag it onto your desktop. There should be a properties window open with a whole bunch of fields that you can modify. The one we&#8217;re looking for is command. This is where you&#8217;ll be entering your code.</p>
<pre><strong>Date</strong>
<strong><a href="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/date.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58" title="date" src="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/date.jpg" alt="" width="194" height="178" /></a></strong>

Command: date +%d
Refresh rate: 300s

Using a capital D will display the date in Month/Day/Year format.

<strong>Month</strong>
<strong><a href="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/month.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61" title="month" src="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/month.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="49" /></a></strong>

Command: date +%B
Refresh Rate: 1800s

Using a lowercase B will show the abbreviated month (Nov)

<strong>Day of the Week</strong>
<strong><a href="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/day.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59" title="day" src="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/day.jpg" alt="" width="111" height="39" /></a></strong>
<pre>Command: date +%A
Refresh Time: 1800s

Using a lowercase A will show the abbreviated day (Sat)

<strong>Weather
<a href="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/weather.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-64" title="weather" src="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/weather.jpg" alt="" width="231" height="43" /></a>
</strong>
Command: 

curl --silent "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=CITYDATA&#38;u=c" &#124;
grep -E '(CurrentConditions:&#124;C&#60;BR)'
&#124; sed -e 's/Current Conditions://' -e 's/&#60;br \/&#62;//' -e 's/&#60;b&#62;//'
-e 's/&#60;\/b&#62;//' -e 's/&#60;BR \/&#62;//' -e 's///' -e 's/&#60;\/description&#62;//'

Refresh Time: 1800s

This code is going to change based on your location. First what you have to do is go to Yahoo Weather and search for your city.
Once you've found your city in the link you'll find a code for your city. For example mine is CAXX0343.
You need to replace CITYDATA with this code for this to work.

To get it to work in fahrenheit there are two things you're going to have to do.

You're still going to use the same CITYDATA code but you're the end of the url where it says u=c you're going to switch it to u=f
Next, where it says CurrentConditions:&#124;C you're going to have to change the C to F. 

<strong>Month (with current day highlighted)</strong>
<strong><a href="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/currmonth.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-57" title="currmonth" src="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/currmonth.jpg" alt="" width="209" height="175" /></a></strong>

Command: cal=`cal`; today=`date "+%e"`; echo "${cal/${today}/33[;30m${today}33[0m}";
Refresh Time: 1800s

Near the end of the line of code it says 30m$. You can change 30 to any number from 30-37 and it will change the colour of the highlighted day.
30 - Black
31 - Red
32 - Green
33 - Yellow
34 - Blue
35 - Pink
36 - Cyan
37 - White

<strong>Upcoming months</strong>
<strong><a href="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nextmonths.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-62" title="nextmonths" src="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nextmonths.jpg?w=169" alt="" width="169" height="300" /></a></strong>

Command: 

#!/bin/sh
month=`date +%m`
year=`date +%Y`

nextMonth=$(($month+1))
if [[ $nextMonth -gt 12 ]]
then
 nextMonth=1
 year=$(($year+1))
fi
cal $nextMonth $year

nextMonth=$(($month+2))
if [[ $nextMonth -gt 12 ]]
then
 nextMonth=1
 year=$(($year+1))
fi
cal $nextMonth $year

Refresh Time: 1800s

I tried breaking the code up into sections so it makes sense to add or remove months.
The first section is just setting it up.
The second section displays the next month.
The third section displays two months ahead.

<strong>Time</strong>
<a href="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/time.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-63" title="time" src="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/time.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="71" /></a>

Command: date '+%l:%M'
Refresh Time: 1s

If you change the l to I it will show the hours as 02 instead of just 2.
You can add :%S before the ' to add seconds.
Also, %p will show whether it is am or pm.

<strong>Battery</strong>
<a href="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/battery.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-56" title="battery" src="http://darcyaubin.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/battery.jpg" alt="" width="156" height="70" /></a>

Command:

#!/bin/bash
asbreg=`ioreg -rc "AppleSmartBattery"`
maxcap=`echo "${asbreg}" &#124; awk '/MaxCapacity/{print $3}'`;
curcap=`echo "${asbreg}" &#124; awk '/CurrentCapacity/{print $3}'`;
prcnt=`echo "scale=2; 100*$curcap/$maxcap" &#124; bc`;
printf "%1.0f%%" ${prcnt};
#EOF

Refresh Time: 60s

<p>There are obviously way more things you can do with GeekTool. These are a few of the common things I found by doing some simple searching. Enjoy!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>As a younger man I was a devotee of the action television program &#8220;McGyver&#8221;. One of the thematic cornerstones of this program was that the protagonist would haul out his Swiss Army knife, one of the simpler ones, and perform some necessary task to accomplish a technological nexus. This was one of the less believable metaphors of the program, albeit relatively easily suspended, because of my fundamental mistrust of multiple purpose tools.</p>
<p>Back when Ubuntu 9.10 emerged earlier I first tried to install it on my Itty Bitty Lap Top (netbook for the bogs) and it malfunctioned mid way through leaving me with a piece of fragile matter but no longer a tool. Reinstalling Ubuntu 9.04 was a relative snap with none of the machinations I had to go through originally with adding Ubuntu and by now I was more than willing to dispense with the wasted space on the hard drive that was SLED. Admittedly I did lose a bit off the box but nothing of abiding value. </p>
<p>What I did not get to do was reinstall all the pieces of software I needed to make use of the box, partly because of other demands and partly from inadequate memory. This was not worrisome since I knew I could install later when I realized the want.</p>
<p>Since I had uncertainty on time and connection on my immediately concluded boondoggle to the campus of the Black Warrior, I took the IBLT along in lieu of three times the volume and mass of a full up laptop. My uncertainties about connection and time proved to be accurate once I could collapse the wave function. The hotel I was using had a relatively whacked wireless network that required one to log on using a browser. The folks who put the system together made the usual brain dead assumption that everyone who would use it was a MegaHard serf and sure enough the system choked a couple of times with Linux alienation. Luckily the adaptations were within my limited IT capabilities since I knew that hotel staff are worse than bogs when it comes to matters computer, although I will give them points for being pleasant in expressing their ignorance and disinterest.</p>
<p>More accurate was my projections of time and so I was largely limited to evenings, in lieu of the intellectually banal wasteland that is American television, and mornings during the interval when the early riser mutation got me out of bed and when the late riser normals (?) actually were conscious. </p>
<p>Having bored with the usual snivelous complaints, I will get to the meat. I repeated found I needed something in the way of a client to do various things. And all I had to do in most cases was install that client from one of the standard repositories; in a few cases I had to add a repository. The delays had a small but not oppressive impact on work rhythm but that was all. Driving back yesterday it occurred, I think just past Trussville where FD SCP and I had stopped to ingest mass, how different this had been than if I was using MegaHard Windows. What repositories? Clients could be gotten online but only with detailed transactions, lengthy inefficient downloads (built into Windows) and problematic idiosyncratic installs. Definitely major speed bumps if not actual barricades.</p>
<p>Epiphany repeated. Wars are won by the forces you have at the right time and place, not hordes over yonder tomorrow. The same holds for computers.</p>
