Conky rocks
I was surfing around this Saturday, and found this page Lifehacker – Top 10 Ubuntu Downloads – Ubuntu through Delicious.
Boy did that ever mess up my plans to get some things done around the house this weekend. This is the kind of program I love. I write a lot of CSS, which is Edit and View. It’s simple, there is no compile errors, and other than some ignorant FTP servers, it’s instant fun. So when I found that the program conky comes with a single configuration file (~/.conkyrc), naturally I am stoked. Edit, Kill, Run, View. It still works for me. Sure you can make it more complicated, but you can also break it down easy. I spent most of Saturday learning the variables you can work with, and now am getting back into shell scripting cause there is some amazing things you can do with conky plus a shell script!
