Recommendations for terminal-based planning/todo apps?

Hi all, I'm working on setting my terminal to display different tasks and information when I login. I have problems with attention and I frequently forget to do important things, so I really need to do this to help myself. I'm aware some of this will cause my terminal to be more slow when I first login. That's fine even if it takes an additional second to login. I have a rough mockup attached in the picture. The mockup uses the `pr -Tm` command to display my calendar side-by-side with my schedule and todo list, but here's where I'm at: 1. Calendar is automated by `ncal -C` 2. Weather is automated using `curl wttr.in/New%20York?0` 3. Schedule is just a text file at the moment 4. Todo is just a text file at the moment I'm looking to also automate my schedule and todo from the command line, but I don't want to use Google-based tools or tools that connect to an external server in general. I'm looking for terminal-based tools where I can add events to my schedule with descriptions, times, and dates (support for recurring events is a bonus, but maybe not required), and then fetch my daily schedule and print it. Does anybody know a good way to handle this part? I could setup a simple database to store and interact with my schedule, but I feel like there has to already be a good tool like that available. However, my searches keeps pulling up things that aren't quite what I want... Thanks for reading this! I appreciate any advice you have for the Linux side of things.

YSK How to get a weather report in your terminal

cross-posted from: https://gekinzuku.com/post/394282 > Lately I've been obsessed with moving everything that people typically use as widgets into my bashrc. Today I discovered [wttr.in](https://wttr.in/), which is an open source project on Github at https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in > > Usage is almost trivial. To get weather in your terminal, simply curl the URL with your city after the forward slash. If you live in New York City, use > `curl 'https://wttr.in/New%20York'` > > Now, if that's too much bloat to have covering your precious terminal real estate, instead use > `curl 'https://wttr.in/New%20York'?0?A?u` > which will truncate the curl to only today's weather.

There is a language that punishes the programmer if they are not polite enough

cross-posted from: https://gekinzuku.com/post/188827 > [INTERCAL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTERCAL) is an esoteric programming language which was purposely designed to be confusing and not visually aesthetic. It has two maintained implementations in [C-INTERCAL](https://github.com/calvinmetcalf/intercal) and CLC-INTERCAL. C-INTERCAL's compiler is invoked by the `ick` command, and CLC-INTERCAL's compiler is invoked by the `sick` command. > > Some highlights of INTERCAL include > - Programmers must use `PLEASE` before statements to avoid compile errors due to being insufficiently polite, but not too many `PLEASE` statements or the compiler will report errors due to being overly polite. > - Every call to a random number generator will introduce a random chance of the code failing to compile and report `E774 RANDOM COMPILER BUG`, and this chance to fail increases with the number of random number generator calls. > - If compiling in INTERCAL-72 mode, the compiler will report `E111 COMMUNIST PLOT DETECTED` if the programmer uses features that are newer than INTERCAL-72. > > The full list of compiler errors and warnings for C-INTERCAL, as well as related documentation, can be found in the [intercal/doc/ick.txi](https://github.com/calvinmetcalf/intercal/blob/8a65e8ba1cc65870b0d6b1bb174a4c4560bde07f/doc/ick.txi) file under the "Errors and Warnings" chapter. If you want to quickly scroll through them, each of the entries are preceded by an `@ieanchor` tag. >

YSK how to get your IP address from the command line

cross-posted from: https://gekinzuku.com/post/98403 > While it's easy to get an IP address from popular websites such as [whatismyip.com](https://www.whatismyip.com/), it's not often friendly to a context where you might need to get your IP address for command line tools. > > In order to grab your IP address via the command line, there's a page on a site called [ipinfo.io/ip](https://ipinfo.io/ip) which only contains body content corresponding to your IP address. The easiest way to fetch that data is with the `curl` command (should be available on both Windows and Linux). > ``` > curl ipinfo.io/ip > ``` > It may also be beneficial to add this to your `.bashrc` or `.aliasrc` on Linux systems with something like > ``` > alias myip="curl ipinfo.io/ip" > ``` > Now you have an easy way to grab your IP address from the command line!

Terminal meme because anything else is bloat

Here's the command if you want to run it too. You need the `imagemagick` package `convert http://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/002/285/551/bc0.jpg -size 250x -pointsize 30 caption:'use a traditional image editor.' -geometry +50+470 -composite -size 280x -pointsize 14 caption:"$BASH_COMMAND" -geometry +360+530 -composite meme.jpg`
