Blinking CapsLock's LED while pinging web-server ⋅ Plume

I've found very interesting Twitter's post. It shows how keyboard's LED could be utilized.

Just amended a little bit the script and made CapsLock's LED to blink on laptop.

Steps:

xkbcomp $DISPLAY myconf.xkb - save settings
vim myconf.xkb - in config make changes in field 'indicator "Caps Lock"' from !allowExplicit; to allowExplicit; (remove exclamation mark)
xkbcomp myconf.xkb $DISPLAY - load settings
start blinking: ping 8.8.8.8 | stdbuf -oL awk -F[=\ ] '/from/{ms=$(NF-1); print ms/1000.0 " " 1-ms/1000.0}' | while read on off ; do echo $on $off ; xset led 1 ; sleep $on ; xset -led 1 ; sleep $off ; done

Instruction how to load settings and make CapsLock LED blinking have taken from here

Here is a result :)
