Because you can turn any workspace into a discotheque. And I have.
Pure happy. If you are prone to seizures... please go no further.
Matthew Russell, did about the same thing in javascript. It's great, and seriously, if you'r prone to seizures, don't go any further... especialy not to the example.
I urge you to look at the scripts. They are simple, teeny, kinda wasteful but the return on the investment in time and effort was well worth it. If anyone ever tells you that something can't be done it one line of shell... you'll know they need to learn a few things.
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
| simple_strobe | Flashes your X back ground color black and white as fast as siliconicly possible. |
| simple_strobe.2 | Give it a numeric argument, it will flash white then wait for that long then flash again. 'that long' isn't really a precise length of time. For added fun, run a few of them in the background with different numeric arguments. |
| pseudorandom | Flashes your X back ground color to any color of the rainbow (or the rgb.txt) as fast as siliconicly possible. |
| pseudorandom.2 | Give it a numeric argument, it will flash your X back ground color to any color of the rainbow (or the rgb.txt) just as simple_strobe.2 does |
| pseudorandom.3 | Almost exactly the same thing as pseudorandom.2 |
An entire lab full of machines flashing there displays... it's awe inspireing... and yet horrifying at the same time.
