sl-fortune (Slack Fortune)

Hello Slackers,

I made a thing that some of you might enjoy.
https://www.zapwai.net/sl-fortune/

It's a shell script that uses notify-send to send you a fortune after you log into the desktop. (It was a feature in crunchbang statler/waldorf that I've been missing.)

Nice one

Although from the title I thought it was going to be a fortune collection of quotes from Slackers on LQ

I love it!

Thank you!

One thing I like about starting with runlevel 3. I may give this a shot on my laptop that I sometimes set to runlevel 4.

Simple and nice. Thanks.

By the way. There is a little missprint in the SlackBuild file.
