Misc usefull things

Here are some little scripts i've written to make my life easier.

ion statusbar indicators

ion3 is an amazing tiling window manager for X11, if you haven't tried it yet you definently should do so. It comes with a statusbar module which can be easily customized with some lua scripts. I've written 2 so far:

statusd_quodlibet.lua - indicates current song being played by quodlibet audio player. To install it just drop somewhere in your ~/.ion3 directory and add %quodlibet placeholder to your statusbar template.
tkabber_status.lua - indicates the number of unread messages with Tkabber jabber client. Drop the file in your ~/.ion3 directory and add dopath("tkabber_status", true) as the last line of cfg_ion.lua, you can use the %tkabber placeholer in your statusbar template after that.

Here's a tiny screenshot of how it looks. Not that shiny, but really convinient. I get this statusbar with following statusbar template:

template="%quodlibet %filler %tkabber load: %load_1min || %linuxbatt%linuxbatt_state || %date %systray"
