Not only is this his jwmrc (blue) with the beautiful window borders and menus, etc, he also figured out how to permanently keep both the volumeicon in t...

Doh! That's right! I've done it before! I may still need to pick up an industrial-sized bottle of Ginko Biloba! Or sticky notes :)
Thanks for fixing it, machinebacon!

I know what you mean, franksinistra! I have a three year old Moto X. No SD card and it has a heckuva time with newer apps. And I thought I was the only one with ES File Explorer! Great app! I never thought about using filezilla. It was one of my favorite downloaders, but I haven't added it to new di...

Wow! Debi on Mac! Good stuff! And I bet it was a PITA, lols!
Still, it looks great! If I were on my phone I would add the clapping hands and the thumbs up emoticon!

Thank you, everybody!! :) My day is finally done, and now I can relax and watch some scary movies (tradition of mine). I'm hoping that every one of you drank at least one for me! :) I usually don't work on my b-day, but the Missus and I have plans for the middle of November that will take at least f...

Thank you, kind sir! The beer will have to wait :(
My load to the Windy City is ready- will be driving all night without beers :((
But you have a few for me, and I'll be happy! It's Halloween! Yay!
Everyone have a few beers on me! :)
(not too many, though! Me pockets are a bit light...) ;)

Thanks, machinebacon! Probably a better idea than a post-it note to my forehead, lols!

Thank you! pidsley! You are a genius! This worked where the three other alternatives I found online didn't! :)
Ok! I have a great-looking jwm :) :) :)

*EDIT* How do I change this to topic to "solved"?
Someone else may want to look at this.

Thank you, pidsley :) I went online and straightened out the syntax. The output for that script was: http://sprunge.us/LEBW I have no idea what that means, except that it seems to be a pastebin app. I still have no answer for the volume icon. When I tried "volumeicon" from the cli it hung....

I really need sticky notes. :( I now remember that I had to copy a tmux config in order to get it working last time.
Thanks, wux for reminding me!
Yikes! All that headache for nothing! I'm buying a bottle of ginko biloba at the very next Walmart I run across!

2016103014778696321280x800.png 2016103014778690971280x800.png I'm customizing jwm using pidsley's config- which is beautiful, btw!- but I decided I wanted that panel down there with a volumeicon, so I went to work. Yeppers. I went to work. Ugh. I had no problem fixing the menu to use xterm and nano...

I am almost certain byobu was a big mistake, lols. The way I read it, it was supposed to enhance (originally Screen- then it embraced) tmux. I have found out the hard way (again, lols) that I didn't read deeply enough, and indeed pidsley is right. It has a hard focus on remote servers, and I've neve...

steampunky-2016-10-30_00-54-09.png funky_wooden-folders-2016-10-30_00-01-03.png Enlightenment- just because, lols. I guess I lied. I am still working on getting the keybindings down on my fb setup- I have kinnnndddda set byobu with tmux, but I am still struggling with moving around it smoothly (rea...

The stories I could tell...but won't, lols.
Let's just say a careful diet on those long hauls where you end up parked overnight in empty lots is crucial, and laxatives are always a no-no!

I remember the first time I heard Godzilla. My state of mind was somewhere in the upper atmosphere....I made a trip to Dallas and another to Shreveport just to hear them live. Dead Heads got nothing on a stadium full of BOC fans!
Good times... :)

^I love pools! I would have immediately answered and offered a $100,000 deposit.
I would have then raided my Monopoly bank and mailed him the colorful cash deposit :)

I humbly thank you, kind sir! :)

Thanks, machinebacon! The article I read said I needed to put everything but the trailing "&" in parenthesis. Is that correct? example: (sleep 5s && tint2) & for some reason that hasn't worked. I did log out and back in. The only other thing I haven't tried is the "sh&...

2016-10-21-145101_1280x800_scrot.png Getting a little tired of openbox? I'm actually getting a little fond of it (sorry dkeg). Earlier post: my old Toshiba started clicking and hanging, then finally bit it. So this new Seagate drive, and the quickest fix (for me) back to an X system was openbox off...

It is the option selection menu that you get when you select the blue "Thinkvantage" button and then click F12 to pick the drive to boot from. As I only have the hdd and the two usb hdd's now, it works. But when I had three usb drives it would ignore whichever drive was in the third usb po...
