DoThisNow 1.2
DoThisNow lets you do things. In more ways than you could before.
Easily
create and customize a new action (such as setting your desktop
background), then choose when you want that action to run (Every 5
minutes? Every 10 days? Once on July 3rd?). Or you can simply run the
action directly from the handy-dandy Gnome Statusbar menu.

 |
Set a custom desktop background (or a random image from a folder). |
 |
Display a message. |
 |
Open a URL in your web browser. |
 |
Play any audio file (song, alert, etc.). |
 |
Run a shell command. |
 |
Simulate keystrokes (insert any text into any application). |

Automatically type out the date and time (customizable styles). |
 |
Set your Pidgin status. |
 |
Launch an application, or open a file (or folder). |

Take a screenshot (time and date stamped). |

can try it out and use it without making any modifications to your cron
jobs.
