<h1>Screen Saver? Yes!</h1>
<p>So, a while back I found a screensaver which is meant for the command<br>
line. It is called <a href="http://www.pulia.nu/tss/">tss</a>. The<br>
latest version is 0.8.1, and it is looking pretty cool.</p>
<p>Under screen 4.0 or higher, there is a command called idle which is<br>
set in seconds. By default, it uses screens built in lockscreen<br>
function, but if you define the environment variable LOCKPGR, then you<br>
can call something else. I have it call a the following script:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
tss -r
exec vlock -a
</code></pre>
<p>This will lock my screen after a set time, and give me a nice thing to<br>
look at. <img alt=":)" src="http://www.duckland.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif"></p>

<h1>RSS Reader: Raggle</h1>
<p>Well, after getting some time over the US holiday to try to get raggle<br>
built, I gave up. I am guessing that Fedora Core 5/6 are not very<br>
ruby friendly yet, as I could not find everything I needed very<br>
easily. I was able to get it almost all the way there, but I could<br>
not get the ruby-Ncurses rpm to build, and I am very strict about<br>
using the native package management system (ie RPM on a RPM based<br>
system, portage on Gentoo, apt on a Debian deviant), so I will not be<br>
trying this until I can get the RPMS.</p>
<p>In other news, I have found some more PIM type things to play with.<br>
Does anyone know of a good CLI Palm Pilot sync package? <a href="http://www.coldsync.org/">Cold Sync seems to be dead, and I am<br>
not sure if it will talk to modern Pilots.</a></p>

<h1>Another RSS reader?</h1>
<p>Well, it seems that someone is reading this after all.</p>
<p>So, tonight I have been given a pointer to raggle (<a href="http://www.raggle.org">http://www.raggle.org). I guess I need<br>
to install ruby to try it out…</a></p>
<p>Thanks to Philip McClure for the pointer.</p>
<p>Updates after I try it out some…</p>

<h1>Window Managers?</h1>
<p>Why would a web site dedicated to the CLI have a section on Window<br>
Managers? Well, simple.</p>
<p>Some times, you just have to have X running. Some web sites I have to<br>
do research at use Flash, or photo editing/managing, or my iPod (none<br>
of the CLI tools let me manage play lists very easily).</p>
<p>Plus, I cannot get the same resolution on the console as I can under<br>
X.</p>
<p>So, what is a CLI user to do? Why, get a Window Manager (wm) that is<br>
meant for us!</p>
<p>The features I look for include small footprint and full keyboard<br>
integration. The current one I use is wmi-10, but it is no longer<br>
under active development. The group working on it has moved to on to<br><a href="http://www.wmi.de/wmii">wmii</a>, but I do not like the changes,<br>
so I am off looking for a new one to use.</p>
<p>From time to time, I will post how my search is going so you can see<br>
what is out there.</p>
