Ubuntu notify about work timeout

October 8th, 2010 No Comments »

As a non smoker i need to rest my eyes once in an hour. So here is a method to remind me, that the time has come :)

You will need
Notification library for ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin

And a script is, to run every 10th minute of an hour:

timeout.sh

#!/bin/bash
if [ $(date +%M) = '10' ]; then
	DISPLAY=:0.0 notify-send "It's timeout time!"
fi

Crontab to run every min.

crontab -e

Add this line

* * * * * sh /home/user/timeout.sh

P.S.
Yes I know I can do that totally within crontab. Its just for purpose i would think of more logic, i decided to make it seperate sh script

Hide password with jQuery

Simple javascript to toggle password visibility Your HTML structure nneded for this to work is as simple as: 
my_secret_password
Add javascript 
$(function() {
/**
* Hide password with bulets and make it toggle
*/
$("div.password").contents().wrap('<span class="pass" />');
$('span.pass').before('<span class="bullets">&bull;&bull;&bull;&bull;</span>').hide();
$("div.password").click(function(){
$('span.pass',this).toggle();
$('span.bullets',this).toggle();
});
});
And the result is:
my_secret_password

									I had trouble with my Dual monitors and video. No matter what player i usede it just showed black screen. So the solution is:
Alt +F2 enter: 

gstreamer-properties

Then Video tab > Output and choose

X Windows System (No Xv)

Restart and give a try to video player.
