Newsbeuter and Google Reader
22/08/2010
I love those apps that work from a shell in linux.
One of my favs is Newsbeuter.
To make it work with Google Reader you need to create config file in:
.newsbeuter/config
In that file add these lines:
urls-source “googlereader”
googlereader-login “USERNAME@gmail.com”
googlereader-password “PASSWORD”
My config so far:
urls-source “googlereader”
googlereader-login “USERNAME@gmail.com”
googlereader-password “PASWORD”
googlereader-show-special-feeds yes
show-read-feeds no
refresh-on-startup yes
notify-beep yes
notify-xterm yes
auto-reload yes
reload-time 120
To make it show up in Conky I added this to the config:
News:${alignr}${execpi 600 newsbeuter -x reload print-unread}

This guy has some great examples for the conky script:
The Peachy Blog: Index. Start Here!.
Resize Linux Terminator how you want it.

If you use terminator but want it to startup with the size you want then run it like this:
terminator –geometry=800×400+150+150
800×400 is the size ot the screen and 150+150 the position where it should popup.

So I was really happy with sabayon running on my machines but somehow I didnt get that linux feeling (or kinda lost it).
So I searched furter and stumbled on cruchnbang.
You need to change loads of stuff but thatsthe great thing about this distro.
There is a great community behind crunchbang and they have some amazing suggestions, tips, hints and solutions for you.
Like this conky script I am running on it instead of the default one.
