Hey Raymond nice script man. Its nice 2 c tv channels i recognise !! :)

Any chance that I can get a copy from somewhere??

Al

It is nice isn't it? You wouldn't believe how many people have asked me about the clock! (if you don't know what I mean, see that the hands on it matches with the windows's clock? That's right, it moves!)

As for the scripts, they can be found in samurize's website, but the BBC news/TV channels and Weather are all from the BBC site and written by various members on OCUK. I find that the Weather forcast in the BBC site is more accurate then the normal Weatherplus script.

First 'real' foray into Serious Samurize. Each box is a separate insance of Client.exe. The weather is based on WeatherPlus - had some problems with the restart script not killing off the old instance of client/weather. Think I've fixed it but it needs to run for a while longer yet to be sure. Also modded the weather script to use the recent ability to pass arguments into script functions.

Maybe I need to add some icons to this. Whaddya think?

damn! hook us up with the scripts. at least the clock, and weather one for me. on for me! and tell me where you got those dock icons!!!

[edit] and the wallpaper too! great stuff man!

The clock has been posted. Check this thread I believe and the samurize site.

That setup judge is using is quite simple.

He's using extended calendar (samurize site), the clock, a weather script (i prefer weatherdotcom 2003, seems the fastest and the one with the least amoutn of bugs), and the bottom stuff is just some simple monitors... pngs, well, not too hard to recreate what he's do\ne either ;) hehe

But yeah. :)

Anywho, my latest version of samurize is in the screenie below. Updated the weather to use weatherdotcom2003 (no it does not support pngs, those are static).

I'm using Vidars thingy but the weather isnt updating at all and do those pngs change with the weather?

Don't worry about it. Heh. I had his weather thing up and running too. F*cked with it for hours and couldn't get it to update. Finally, just as I was going to use another weather script, it updated itself.

Honestly, I'm not too pleased with weatherplus (that script).

So now I'm using weatherdotcom 2003.

It updates properly, and no use of messy xml, or cached files to clear, etc. :)

Not sure if the pngs update too.

Don't worry about it. Heh. I had his weather thing up and running too. F*cked with it for hours and couldn't get it to update. Finally, just as I was going to use another weather script, it updated itself.

lol that sounds annoying

Hrm, to be honest, I don't think so. I'm not 100% sure about that though. Easiest is to have to have a US zip code.

But being that it's weather.com and they go all over the place, there's a chance, that instead of entering the zip, you enter the city/state/region/etc where you are, and it should work out. I'm thinking it may work along the lines of how extended weather worked.

I'll look into how the code actually brings up the info and get back to you on it.

and icedevil, how about cropping it man? we don't need your entire desktop to see what appears to be 200x300 pixel's worth of area used by samurize ;) :p

HEY MONKEY MAN!

Found out how to get it to use stuff in places like the uk.

Instead of entering the zip code (it'll ask you to do it for each piece of active script you add in the samurize config, no need to edit the vbs files at all), well, here, I'll show you... :)

UKXX0085

That's the "zip code" for London, UK.

I got that from this address:

http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/loca...LocalUndeclared

I got that address from here:

http://www.weather.com/common/welcomepage/...?from=globalnav

You have to search it from there.

Now this works if you select the weather.com.FORCAST script... not sure if the weather.com.OUTLOOK will work though. I'll take a closer look later. I'm off to the lake for some fun. :)

OK This is my version of WeatherPlus. It only uses one script file, and it updates the PNGs - no need to use the windows scheduler to kill/start samurize - it is all done from within Samurize itself.

The script currently relies on you running a specific samurize instance called 'weather'. There is a link file in the ZIP that should do it for you if you just double-click on it and then select the 'JudgeWeather' config.

You will need to edit the config to change your location - you only need to edit the script if you want to change to using celsius.

To find the code for your location go to http://weather.interceptvector.com/list.php, then you can either use the Samurize config editor to edit the meter, or you can just edit the .ini file directly: search for 'Param1=' and change the value. If you use the config editor there is a meter with no text hidden between the two PNGs :unsure:

If you want to use the script in you own config, you will need to make sure that you call getCacheFile() - it takes two arguments the first is the number of minutes to wait before updating the data and restarting the Samurize instance called 'weather'- the second is the location you retrieved above.

If this all sounds complicated - well, it isn't really :rofl:

    • Same for me. I find Adguard in general just OK. Ublock Orgin Lite works and works well. I use it on Chrome, Edge, and Safari on MacOS and iPadOS/iOS.
    • I do not use the AdGuard extension. I have uninstalled both the uBlock and Stylus extensions, as well as the Tampermonkey extension, since I began using AdGuard for Windows 7 months ago. It does not use any extension APIs, it modifies traffic system wide using a local proxy. AdGuard performs all the functions of uBlock, as well as additional features such as HTTPS filtering, cosmetic (user scripts and user styles), as well as DNS. It works with any browser and application. I don't understand why you consider the desktop program to be useless...

    • Save 31% on Samsung T7 Portable SSD by Taras Buria During the ongoing memory crisis, where RAM and storage get extremely expensive, it is hard to find a good deal on an internal or portable SSD. While we are far away from 2024 prices, Samsung is currently offering a big discount on its 1TB T7 Portable SSD, saving you 31% or $85. The discount applies to the 1TB variant, which, although not record-breaking, is still plenty for all sorts of data. The drive uses a USB-C port for universal compatibility and high-speed data transfer of up to 1,050 megabytes per second. Samsung claims this drive is nearly ten times faster than a conventional hard drive, plus you get all the benefits of solid-state memory, such as better drop and shock resistance. There is also the ability to password-protect the drive, and you get extra peace of mind with a limited three-year warranty. The Samsung T7 Portable SSD works with all modern computers and tablets, including iPhones, iPads, Android smartphones, and more. And thanks to the two bundled USB cables (Type-C and Type-A), you can use the T7 even with devices that lack USB Type-C ports. The T7 Portable is available in three colors and four storage configurations, but unfortunately, only the 1TB Titan Gray is discounted: 1TB Samsung T7 Portable SSD - $189.98 | 31% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

Maybe the problem is that your government is run by corrupt and power hungry terrorist organizations that keep the country in the **** because all they care about is filling up their pockets and maintaining their power instead of actually managing the country for the benefit of everyone. Just ask Russians, North Koreans, Iranians, Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans, etc.
