I have been playing a bit with xgamma and I think it can be useful as a
graphical
notification for important alerts like low battery or so.
The usage is quite simple. and we can 'flash' the screen in red for a
fraction of a second with:
What happens if you're not looking at the screen?
I modified `slock' some time ago to display a fullscreen red window
that closes on any button press. I use it to notify about low battery.
The code is attached.
Example usage:
$ ./redscr
a red windows appears
$ ./redscr 336699
a baby blue window appears

[dwm] minimal communication
I'm slowly migrating from irssi to sic for IRC conversations, setting up up a hotkey in dwm to popup dmenu, which feeds into sic. sic will be displayed in either the root window or a terminal. I'm still figuring out the IPC for this setup to work sanely. My question however, is anyone familiar with a jabber client similar to sic? I've looked at freetalk and mcabber. freetalk seems more CLI oriented, but I doesn't seem that piping friendly to me. mcabber uses ncurses as an interface, but already has a few howtos on sending notifications and data to text files, which means I can get notifications similar to sic. But I'd have to utilize the application itself rather than a dmenu pipe. Anyone? -- stadik.net

Wow, his MTA (or maybe MUA) is sending out a delivery status notification, saying that the message was delivered. I didn't think any MTAs actually did that, it can create many problems (like the current one). Joerg, you should check your mail client to see if it's sending out delivery status notifications (DSNs). What's happening is that your mail client, or your mail server, is responding back to the message saying I got it! mlmmj (the list software used at suckless.org, which I happen to have contributed to) treats any response to the envelope sender address as a bounced message. I'm guessing there's some sender on the list who requests delivery status notifications on their outbound messages, and this is why you only see the bounces occasionally. I'll refrain from expounding on my opinion of DSNs. Check the Internet if you're curious. Neale
Re: [dwm] minimal communication
The challenge is nice. However the major reason I love applications that follow the suckless philosophy is the tendency to avoid large or non-ubiquitous libraries. The setup at work is one involving a wide variety of platforms and configurations, so having a complete setup that works nigh-everywhere is very very appealing. I like knowing what's going on but like a very efficient screen usage, and allowing certain things piped to other things allows a variety of customizable interfaces and setups. I prize that over shiny GUIs and amazing configuration any day. I'd rather be able to grep a set of text files, than adjust history writing settings, memory on scroll back, or learn client specific commands on regexing the wanted message. I've ended up opening up the socket and readline libraries in ruby and cobbling together a minimal IRC overlay. The most I'll be doing is color coding output, trimming useless data, and setting up a few macros for authentication. sic is almost perfect but for a few of it's choices in output, and I got fed up with figuring out a decent way of chaining pipes. When I can short circut a setup of 3 or 4 process with just building a script that opens a few sockets, I'll call that a gain. Additionally I can apply the knowledge and already developed code to when I take a whack a minimal cli jabber client. 2009/3/6 Neale Pickett ne...@woozle.org: Ian Daniher it.dani...@gmail.com writes: Why do you want to use sic over irssi? Maybe the guy likes a challenge :) irssi is pretty light... The irssi processes on my multi-user server are currently the second biggest memory users. Behind them are the web server, the SMTP, IMAP, and POP3 servers, bitlbee, and even the IRC server! It certainly isn't anywhere near as heavyweight as, say, pidgin, but I'd stop short of calling irssi pretty light. I'm pretty sure it weighs in heavier than any other text-mode client.
