Go have a try yourself. BB text won't get lost as long as BB is open.
Entering the commands one by one in terminal works.
But that's rather inconvenient, open/close the media player is faster...
I think the reason why the text doesn't get lost when BB is open is because the text is "safe" in the edit box and it gets written to gconf from there. If you were to close BB when the gconf value was "Updating..." and open it again, all your text would be lost.

Calling the script from terminal works too.
In both cases, "Updating..." didn't appear though, 2fast2see, I guess.

You can install cron on your device too

Did anybody try the script for 3-color-battery-percentage?
Sometimes it doesn't show properly here, I'd guess it's a timeout.
What's rough about it? Works perfect and what else should someone want?!
Finally, everything's set for me!
If there's anything left I'd like to see improved, then this would be nice:
- a refresh-button and/or refresh upon opening + closing BB
- flightmode option in inserts
- inline formatting for size and style (regular, fat, cursive)
- adjusting values for change of color in color-battery-bar
- reduce the space between clock and BB-text (in css?)
- custom logo inline with meecast icon
But that's just cosmetics of course, I'm very happy already.
At the same time, it's the "face" of our N9's or at least what we're facing quite some time, so there'll always be a need for customization and way for improvement I guess. Let's see what next release brings.
Thanks everybody.

Please test and tell me if it works and what else should be included.

It's not complete.
- It won't show an event if it doesn't have an alarm. Please test if this is true.
- It won't show todos at the moment (easy to fix).
- It won't show the location because I'm not sure how to silently handle the KeyError exception when there is no 'location' key in the attribute dict.
- It won't show the calendar name because I don't know where to get a match for the 'notebook' value. It's easy to match manually, but to get it with the script, I don't know where to look for the calendar name.
Any help on any of these is appreciated.
Edit:
I just realised that the cookies are from the timed daemon and it's impossible to get events without alarms this way. I assume there is a database somewhere that stores the events but at the moment that's way beyond me. Probably the notebook value is in there, too. I don't have the time to look into it right now.

See this thread (or the billboard-scripts repository) for a way to force-update Billboard after your background script has finished.
I just found out that the N9 doesn't have cron on it, and profilematic isn't very suited to the task. How can I get the script to run every 15 minutes during the scheduled times? Is using sleep (15*60) in a shell script power efficient?

There seem to be some permissions issues with cron, that I haven't seen resolved on the forum.
