So yeah! It's been awhile....just thought I'd drop by and let everyone know what was up in my life.
First of all, screenfetch has an awesome following now. I get emails weekly about people submitting patches and asking if I can add this or that. It's AWESOME. I love it. Progress is awesome on it as well. And it's hosted on SilverIRC's git as well. Has been for a long time...heh...guess I never got around to updating this journal after that happened. xD
Here's the new link: git.silverirc.com/cgit.cgi/scr…
Also, here's a couple of other projects I've been working on lately...
mpdnotify: You already know about this guy, but it's had a LOT of work done on it recently and it's ALSO now hosted at SilverIRC. Link: git.silverirc.com/cgit.cgi/mpd…
mpdlyrics: BASH script to display lyrics for the currently playing song on MPD. Doesn't even require mpc or some kind of external client. Link: served.kittykatt.us/projects/m…
sCURL.tk: SilverIRC's own URL shortening service! It's awesome. Anyways, here's the link. Feel free to use it to shorten URLs and such: scurl.tk
aursearch: BASH script to search the AUR. Searching and displaying results is all it does right now, but that's all I really wanted it to do in the first place. Link: git.silverirc.com/cgit.cgi/aur…
I also joined up with a pretty cool project now known as Socius which aims to be a client for everything social media and chat, including Facebook, Twitter, and IRC. Pretty cool, and they're hosted at SilverIRC! Link: git.silverirc.com/cgit.cgi/soc…
nHotSpot, one of my main sites, also got a few MAJOR updates, the biggest of which is that it is no longer named nHotSpot! It now goes under the name myNiritori (Don't ask, it was one of the other admin's ideas xD) and we even switched servers and hosting providers. Check it out at www.myniritori.com
So, that's basically what I've been up to. Comments?
Screenshot information tool written entirely in
BASH. Displays information such as distribution,
DE, WM, WM theme, and much more.
Daemon to monitor MPD song changes and show notifications
with various information on the next song in
a native notification window.
SilverIRC's very own URL shortening service! Go
ahead and check it out and maybe shorten a
few URL's yourself!
BASH script to display lyrics for the currently
playing song on MPD. Doesn't even require mpc or
some kind of external client.
BASH script to search the AUR. Searching and

now, but that's all I really wanted it to
do in the first place.
Hm. It's been forever since I updated. Sorry for the absence. I've been really busy. But I'm back for now! So here's some updates.
First off, I've got a big new project that I'm working on called screenFetch. It's official description is "The Bash Screenshot Information Tool" and it's used to display information about your current theme/setup in a screenshot of a Linux desktop. It's executed in terminal and displays there. A lot more information can be found at the following places:
bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.ph… Arch Linux Forums topic (has screenshots)
github.com/KittyKatt/screenFet… GitHub Project Page/Repository
code.google.com/p/screenfetch/… Google Code Project Page/Repository
This is my biggest project ever and it'd be great if I could see it being used in Linux-related screenshots on dA. I'll be uploading to dA soon.
College is nice. I still wish I was going to a university instead of community college. But this is much cheaper and I paid for the absolute fail I had at Missouri State. So, I'm stuck here for now. It's alright, though. I've got Calculus and Chemistry, which I've always been good at, so things are pretty easy for me right now. And I got a job in the computer lab, as well, so I'm bringing money while still on campus in between classes. ^^
In other news, SilverIRC has an official domain now: www.silverirc.com. It's parked and we're using it for everything. The previous domain (www.archerseven.com) will stop working in several months, so change your configs! We also have a reshuffling of IRC servers/ops. We lost ikey as an IRC-Op and Server Owner, but gained Kingdomcome. So the ikey's server no longer works, but Kingdomcome's does now, and it's located at irc://kingdomcome.silverirc.com:6667/randomz . Join us.
So, guess what today is? My 19th birthday! That's right. I turn 19 today, February 19th, 2010. Just in case anyone wanted to know. Note: I enjoy birthday shenanigans.
Also, my server is back up and running. I've got a brand new setup going on and I think it will work SO much better than the last. Special thanks goes out to ArcherSeven for helping me when I was helplessly lost. I hope to get the IRC server back up and running again sometime in the next few days. I'm also excited about the new InspIRCd update coming soon. They just froze the 2.0 beta, so hopefully they'll make it stable soon. Yay!
So, that's about it for now. Don't really plan on doing anything special for my birthday. ^^ What do you all do for your birthdays? Comment here and tell me!
