securitybreach Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 You need figlet installed (should be in your repos) but if you run this code in a terminal, you will get a nice Ascii countdown till New Years based upon : while [[ $(date +%Y) -ne 2013 ]];do figlet $(($(date -d 2013-01-01 +%s)-$(date +%s)));sleep 1;clear;done;figlet 'Happy New Year!' To those unable to find 'figlet' on Ubuntu, it's in 'multiverse' or also can be provided by 'toilet'.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I'd have to SlackBuild figlet... too lazy at the moment. I'll just use this instead: http://countdown.onlineclock.net/countdowns/newyear/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 1920 was a good year. 1080 not so much... still dealing with those bothersome Normans, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
