"Knock, knock, Neo." The Coolest App I ever wrote!




I may keep coming back and updating the script with more features. So, make sure you come back and check it out

Watch the demo video, run the script. Because, I really can't find the right words to describe this. Remember, when Neo (The Matrix) was sleeping on his desk while his system was displaying all kind of search results, and all the suddan, he start receiving the coolest mysterious messages ever. Well, this script is close to that. It is fully automated once you run it. It will display all type of information

It's bash script, so just copy it, and make it executable to run it
To make the script executable after saving it:
chmod +x THE_SCRIPT_NAME

This is so cool I can't even come up with a name for it. So, name it what you want. I my gift to you. Instead of installing some other app that just output some unreadable stuff, use my script.

Stay updated like Neo
To look cool like a hacker, you could run it on one the cli tty:
Ctrl+Alt+tty1 or Ctrl+Atl+tt2
Or you can run it on one of your work space by itself. Have the terminal in fullscreen, your cli font set to Courier 10 Pitch Bold, with dark background and Matrix like green foreground (text). And let it do its Matrix thing without touching it.
Let your friends and strangers be amaze.

Replace "atlanta" in the script with your own zip code. You'll need acpi, elinks installed. Use it with tmux, to look like a real l33t
sudo apt-get install acpi elinks tmux

If you modify it, and make it do even more cool stuff, please let me know. The possibilities are endless. You can even have the script open your browser, do a search and then close. How cool is that. Enough talk, here it is:

  4. Hi, what theme are you using? I have the cyan theme and my windows still dont look like yours. The top bar on top of the window itself that contains the name of the program, minimize, maximize and X button still look normal which ruins it. I use openbox, conky, and gnome-terminal. I know Compiz does the effects, I just want the black and rounded edge Tron theme. I read your tutorial but im not seeing tutorial on where you started first with your theme.

  5. Hello Salem, I rewrote your script in perl. Added a few things: prints out some text one char at a time; like someone is typing it, control of how fast the lines print for a cat, some randomly generated output to make it look like the script is doing something important, and a couple of other special effects. It's starting to look good.
