A while ago, everyone refrained from going to 1.8.1 because it messed up something. I notice that you have now a code switch implemented for 1.8.0/1.8.1. Does that mean it's now safe to go to 1.8.1? Any reason not to?

I haven't had any problems with Conky 1.8.1 - at least, nothing to speak of...

All you can do is try it yourself, and see what happens.

You can always downgrade, if it doesn't work out.

If it were daytime in the Western US you'd see the Grand Teton.

Nice!

I love to watch the Nurburgring Race Track Live Webcam

Wish I was running around the (14 mile / 22.8 kilometer) course in my CiViC... LoL!

1. Is there a way to subtract 8 hours from the displayed image creation time and show that as the time the image was on the server in the US?

Time manipulation is easy since you already using AWK - though, you need to use GAWK specifically for this.

Insead of using that

ls -l tetonwebcam.gif | awk  '{print $6, $7}'

you should use this

ls -l tetonwebcam.gif |gawk 'END{print $6,$7,"local time"; gsub(/-/," ",$6); gsub(/:/," ",$7); print strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M",mktime($6" "$7" 0")-(8*60*60)),"MST time (UTC-7)"}'

Sooo... I resorted to RTFM!

I was unaware of the "-h" argument in "cal". It hides the date highlighting, which is counterintuitive to the task at hand, but I tried it anyway, and it solved the problem.

My interest was triggered, and I think I can add a little bonus for all of us who are not really familiar with imperial units and calendars starting on Sunday.

If you replace your "cal -h" calls with "ncal -hbM", you get the continental calendar with the week starting on Monday.

[dk75]

Yes, but ncal place week days horizontally.
And if you are not familiar with imperial system than that means you are live in a country with metric system and as such your system had been set by you during installation to your national locale. And cal is giving you result according to that locale settings, like for me, where weeks starts with Monday according to my locale. If I would like to make it imperial Sunday start then I need to start it with, say US locale (GB locale is imperial with Monday start), like

env LANG=en_US.UTF-8 cal

since my local locale is set to

LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8

which works in metric system, Monday start.

So... what’s about? What problem do you have with CAL?

The -b option makes ncal behave like cal, so it looks like cal with the week starting Monday. It's probably due to my Natty install that the locale is screwed up at the moment...

But that means, if everything is fixed in the final release with the correct locale, my "fix" is not needed...

Sigh... And I was so proud that I found something...

Nope:

I have 2 different conky's running on either side of the screen, the one on the right has

## Text alignment.
#
alignment bottom_right

and the one on the left's is for bottom left, and yet in the photo u can see they aren't starting at the bottom, I would like them as low down in the screen as I can get them, so any idea's on what's causing them to start further up?

here's the full code

Must be a difference in Natty. For me, it looks like:

ncal -hbM
    Februar 2011

while my cal gives results like:

       1  2  3  4  5

But again, I'm running Natty alpha 2, obviously there are differences even with basic programs like cal / ncal...
