	#!/bin/bash

	# source: http://blog.quaternio.net/2009/04/13/nasa-image-of-the-day-as-gnome-background/

	# grabs the nasa image of the day by RSS feed and updates the gnome
	# background. add this to your cron jobs to have this happen daily. this is,
	# obviously, a hack, that is likely to break at the slightest change of NASA's
