HOWTO: VinDSL Conky Script

[paramvir]

Hi Paramvir,

Yes i'm sorry about my rant, there is quite a list of these routers putting people at risk and i'm wondering how "dopey" and his buddies get the phone numbers in the first place! I am thinking maybe the unprotected routers can also give the number of the phone line or something like that.
here's a bit more info for your reading pleasure.

Anyway i'm looking forward to the next version of conkywx

have a nice day Sean.

Hey Thanks for that link - great info - we all need to rant every now n then - it keeps us all a bit sane and YES - I promise you that bier !!!

cheers

Any possibility of packaging this up in a tarball? It's a tall order just following the posts, at least to me. Put everything to go in the local/home directory -- I prefer not to put unnecessary stuff/scripts in the /usr dir.

Hello os2

If you are referring to conkywx - you can use the stand alone version - use it in your home directory.

Yes, though I was referring to the Google Weather API. Is it no longer working as I was unable to fetch any data? -- rejected via automated response.

Well, the Google Weather API went the way of the Dodo some time in mid 2012. Google killed that api quietly - just google for it.

Been playing around with VLC Media Player, and I kinda like it. So...

I added some code to .conkyrc, so it displays VLC titles.

Here's the code, if you want to play around with it...

Here's how it looks in Gnome 3.8...

Not a startling improvement, but it does add another option. VLC Media Player seems to be very popular...

Hey Vin,

I found this in the net maybe a year ago and used the scroll function but I did'nt mess with it too much but I like to use VLC player.

##################################
##           MUSIC              ##

Nice color scheme on the player can you tell us how you have done that ?

Nice greetings Sean

I managed to get the grub version to display. This is pretty handy for me. On each install something was a little bit different. But, this was just one line and it took me quite a while so I'm not bragging too much.
The grub 2.00 on Quantal for example is different than the grub 2.00 on Raring. I hope they sync up at some point.



This is the line I added on Raring:

${voffset 2}${font OpenLogos:size=10}${color2}u${voffset -1}${font DroidSans:size=8.6}${color0}${offset 5}Grub${offset 3}Version${alignr}${font DroidSans:size=8.3}${pre_exec grub-install -v | grep grub-install | cut -c21-42}${font}

Cool!
