facebook friend status on my desktop

16 August 2007 | 0 Comments

Facebook released RSS updates of friend statuses, so, me want play.

geektool is a utility for OSX that allows you to throw any piece of information

you want over your desktop’s wallpaper and under any running application.

here’s what a part of my desktop looks like:

full of valueable information, and now friend’s Facebook status too, until it

starts annoying me and I pull it off.

it takes 5 lines of Python code:

import feedparser

d = feedparser.parse(“http://www.facebook.com/feeds/friends_status.php?….”)
