Announcing Twitico and Trayify

Twitico

Introduction

I’ve been working on Twitico for a while now. It’s a bare-bones twitter client to alert via libnotify. My workflow frequently involves a fullscreen terminal and everything else minimized to the notification tray. I find the icons more useful than a taskbar as the icon is quicker to recognize than the label on the taskbar item.

Trayify

Introduction

In addition to Twitico, I wanted to write a Dropbox client and, eventually, a tray icon to make Xrandr calls to change my resolution. I also didn’t want to write the same code for each one, nor did I want to have to rewrite it if I switched to a QT based desktop. Ergo, I extracted the Trayify code from Twitico.

Installing GNS3 Under Mac OS X

Some coworkers wanted to be able to emulate Networking hardware so I scripted up this installer. If anyone uses it, let me know how it goes for them.
