Great to see Christina Geiger back in the winners enclosure, if only for a short while. I didn't grab a picture though 😞 #Åre #SkiAlpin

Anyway.. a really crappy movie. Hard to watch without feeling embarrassed for Russell Crowe's portrayal of "SID 6.7" https://t.co/XHViJd3qNu

"The political sensitivity of the immigration issue, and the possibility of closing the American borders, seems certain to guarantee a television audience of unprecedented size."

Bash Script: 'speedtest.sh' - Graphical internet speed tester, based on wget & zenity

I tried to show someone the benefits of wget speedtests in a terminal; they nearly threw-up. People only understand graphical speedometers it seems! So I threw some zenity into the mix.

I really wanted a one-liner solution, but there was a little too much awk needed, so I ended-up filling it out into a small bash script.

There are lots of ways to polish and extend this script, or use the concept for something else.
