Its Cold and raining ... on the outside ...

My thoughts is shining and no angel tears can wipe my focus away, it's on the screen, it's on my mind and I'm hacking, hacking, hacking a wormhole between universes.

Relaxing a couple of days from the vacation doing some work in the garden and at work, it's now night-time and I've been hacking the last hours on a example of what I've talked about before. I've used dbus as it is pretty standard and pygtk to do a quick demo of it to show how it can work.

It's about piping out info to the shell to grep for stuff perhaps doing a automated selection or some other postprocessing like diffing or word counting. If you are interested check out gui<->shell cat and sellect demo

Actually it is not all that difficult to do and it has been a joy to use pygtk to do this, thanks. Not too many applications is written in pygtk though so my next step is to figure out how to implement this in a abi way on my ubuntu distributions version of gtk. There is possible a ton of cool hacks that can be done in a similar spirit but I'm serious, this might be geeky but it's simple and it can save you many minutes a day if it's adopted and you have the skills

Cheers!
