Title: Bitcoin Charts as a live desktop background (bash one-liner!) Post by: pera on March 20, 2013, 05:47:38 AM I just realized that Bitcoin Charts (http://www.bitcoincharts.com/) charts are render on the server, so I made this simple one-liner to have an enterprise quality background:
Code: while true; do wget -qO - "http://www.bitcoincharts.com/charts/chart.png?width=940&m=mtgoxUSD&SubmitButton=Draw&r=5&i=&c=0&s=&e=&Prev=&Next=&t=S&b=D&a1=&m1=10&a2=&m2=25&x=0&i1=SStoch&i2=MACD&i3=AccDist&i4=&v=1&cv=0&ps=0&l=0&p=0&" | convert - -negate - | feh --bg-center -; sleep 900; done it needs the last version of feh (https://github.com/derf/feh) (for images from stdin), but you may use other visualizer if you want (eg xv -rv -rbg black -rmode 5 -root -quit -). the only problem is the 15m time phase; polling would be rude... screenshots: https://i.imgur.com/tuDblMrl.jpg (http://imgur.com/tuDblMr) https://i.imgur.com/PCbjSeVl.jpg (http://imgur.com/PCbjSeV) |
