Using Rex To Automate Your Datacentre
In my day to day work I come across a lot of tasks that I actually
"hate" to be honest. Most of these tasks consist of things that are

I download a wallpaper and add it to the backgrounds. select it. nothing happens. I don't particularly like the default wallpaper and I hate to abandon the whole OS just because of this, but it's irritating.
I just recently switched from the iPhone 5 to a Galaxy S3. I'm looking for a solid app to replace iOS6's reminders app.
Hi,
I'm writing a Bash script for wallpaper clocks which works fine on the command line but needs to be run every minute from a crontab entry so the time gets changed on the wallpaper (the wallpaper gets rebuilt every minute so the current weekday, date, month, hour, and minute become part of the wallpaper).
