I am having trouble getting past the first shell in geektool. I paste the refresh code and an error pops up saying:

The action “New Text File” encountered an error. Check the action's proper ties and try again.

Followed your instructions very carefully and everything went smoothly except the changes in info.plist. It already said "true" so I did not make any changes. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks for a great vid!

@britspud Hello there, if you are having difficulties with the video, which is common for many users, try and rename the files and follow the text tutorial given in the description. I appreciate your feedback.

@28427879 If you are on Lion, the only way they will work is if you set them up on Snow Leopard, before you upgraded to Lion, Editing of Geektool 3 is not possible on OSX Lion.
