securitybreach Posted December 31, 2012 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'. Happy New Year! https://twitter.com/...782772067471360 Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted December 31, 2012 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

V.T. Eric Layton Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 1920 was a good year. 1080 not so much... still dealing with those bothersome Normans, you know. Quote
