Life without flash: tube script improved

An improved version of my tube script.
With this edit URLs is not needed.
It extracts the VIDEO_ID and generates the URL.
It works with youtbe and vimeo only.

Call it in this way:

tube "http://vimeo/or/youtube/url"

Life without flash: How to see youtube/vimeo videos

I use a script called tube:

#!/bin/bash
clive --stream-exec="mplayer -really-quiet %i" -s $*

syntax is important:

tube http://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_ID_NUM
tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID_NUM
tube http://vimeo.com/VIDEO_ID_NUM

New version here!

Debian on iMac G3 PPC

I installed Debian squeeze in an old iMac G3 and it rocks!
It was a standard Debian PPC installation, the only difficult thing was to configure Xorg.
I was luky enough to find some xorg.conf on the web, from people with my same problems and I made a collage from two of them.
With the following file I have 1024x768 resolution, 24 bit colors and the rigth keyboardmap.

wmiirc

In the last days I played a lot with my wmiirc file, and now I think it's done.

Customizations:

• xmodmap autostart (line 3).
• Navigation keys (lines 8 to 12).
• Theme (lines 15 to 18).
• Status bar with volume, CPU, RAM, swap, battery, time (lines 39 to 46).
• Keybindings (lines 130, 140 and from 158 to 167). Note the last one wich opens a custom menu called powerlist used to halt/reboot/sleep/hibernate the machine.
• Actionlist menù does not show anymore some custom script inside .wmii directory (lines 239 to 243). Those are scripts to halt/reboot/etc and are called with powerlist.
• Powerlist menù, shows only some file inside .wmii directory (lines 245 to 248).
