![]() She was still using a 2006 White Macbook which has seen better days. I passed my 13" onto my wonderful wife who was very appreciative. The trackpad works just as well as it did on the 13" and the keyboard actually has a little more feedback to it which I appreciate. ![]() They have a slight edge over the 13" macbook that I had before. ![]() The built in speakers sound great as well. Left 4 dead, TF2, Mirror's Edge, Oblivion, etc.all work very well on highest graphics and native resolution. I game on my windows xp partition with no difficulty. The battery life is outstanding! I'm getting between 6 and 9 hours on regular use (full brightness) which includes surfing the internet and listening to music (using the 9400M). It still boasts the 60% greater color gamut that Apple touts for the Glossy Screen. One of my favorite things to do is go sit under a tree, listen to music and do my homework. The screen is absolutely gorgeous and I can use it outside again. I'm very happy to have moved up to this Macbook Pro! I have a higher resolution and no glare!Īfter about a week of use, I have had no issues. I loved every aspect about this laptop except the glossy screen. This had the standard glass (read as mirror) screen. The laptop I used before was an October 2008 13" 2.4 Ghz Macbook (9400M). I discussed the use of iconv to convert from UTF-8 to Latin-1 (which GeekTool 2 can handle) in this post.Hey all! I recently received a 15" Macbook Pro (2.66 Ghz, 4GB RAM, 256 MB 9600M GT model) with an added Antiglare screen! I figured I'd give you guys a quick rundown. Because GeekTool 2 doesn’t like UTF-8, the GeekTool command for getting the display right is ~/bin/weathertext | iconv -s -f UTF-8 -t ISO_8859-1 Note that in addition to the forecast lines (36-45) I’ve added the necessary code in Lines 2 and 47 to handle UTF-8 encoding for the degree symbol (°). The new version of the weathertext script (which you can also download from its GitHub repository is this: 1: #!/usr/bin/pythonĦ: # Get the current conditions for the given station.ħ: noaa = pywapi.get_weather_from_noaa('KARR')Ĩ: yahoo = pywapi.get_weather_from_yahoo('60502', '')ġ1: ypressure = ġ6: # Go through the dictionaries and construct a list of the desired output lines.ġ7: # out.append('Last update:' + noaa.split(','))ġ8: out.append('Sunlight: %s to %s' % (yahoo, yahoo))ġ9: out.append(yahoo)Ģ1: gust = ', gusting to %s mph' % noaaĢ4: out.append('Wind: %s at %s mph%s' % ( noaa, noaa, gust))Ģ5: out.append('Relative Humidity: %s%%' % noaa)Ģ6: out.append('Pressure: %2.2f and %s' % (float(yahoo), ypressure]))Ģ8: out.append(u'Wind Chill: %s°' % noaa)ģ2: out.append(u'Heat Index: %s°' % noaa)ģ5: out.append(u'Temperature: %.0f°' % float(noaa))Ĥ1: %s''' % (int(today), int(today), today))Ĥ5: %s''' % (int(tomorrow), int(tomorrow), tomorrow)) That gives me room to include more data, and the forecasts seemed like the natural thing to add. I’ve updated my GeekTool weather script to include forecast information in addition to current conditions.Īs I mentioned in this post, I’ve moved this information from the bottom left corner to the upper middle of the left edge of the screen (the text above the weather stuff is an extract from my SuperDuper! log file).
