Ok, I'd like to know how to get the Drudge Report on conky? I like that.

That one's pretty straightforward:

headlineget.py

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import nltk
import re
import sys
import csv
import time
from time import sleep, localtime, strftime
from urllib import urlopen

while True:

    file1 = open('/home/scott/drudge.txt', 'w')
    url = "http://www.drudgereport.com/"    
    html = urlopen(url).read()    
    raw = nltk.clean_html(html)  
    processedString = re.sub("\n\s*\n*", "\n", raw)
    print >>file1, processedString

    sleep(120)

    file3 = open('/home/scott/drudge.txt', 'rb')
    data = csv.reader(file3)
    table = [column for column in data]

    for x in range(0,30):
        if table[x][0] == 'AP WORLD ':
            break
        else:
            aa = table[x][0]
    file2 = open('/home/scott/drudgeout.out', 'w')
    print >>file2, 'DRUDGE REPORT: ' + strftime("%m/%d/%Y - %H:%M:%S", localtime())
    bb = x
    for x in range(1,bb):
        print >>file2, table[x][0].strip('')
    
    time.sleep(30)

Then in .conkyrc use:

${goto 10}${color red}${exec cat 30 /home/scott/drudgeout.out}$color

I should add that the sleep times may not make sense, just adjust them as you see fit. I have them set as they are for debugging purposes and need to be updated. I'm no expert programmer and I don't have a whole lot of time so I do what I can when I can.

I did notice something else. The RAM memory bar indication is about 15% higher than my system resource monitor output. Any idea why conky is so much higher than system monitor?

Good, glad to hear that.

maybe this for RAM:

Code:

no_buffers no

to

Code:

no_buffers yes

I logged into my Xfce4 session and ran your conky:

Hey, that's my log-in screen behind your conky ... easy fix I add, above TEXT:

Code:

### ARGB can be used for real transparency
### NOTE that a composite manager is required for real transparency.
### This option will not work as desired (in most cases) in conjunction with
### own_window_type normal
 own_window_argb_visual yes

### When ARGB visuals are enabled, this use this to modify the alpha value
### Use: own_window_type normal
### Use: own_window_transparent no
### Valid range is 0-255, where 0 is 0% opacity, and 255 is 100% opacity.
# own_window_argb_value 0

and the results are in:

Yea, that's better, now for some 'sun block', again somewhere above TEXT and one line below TEXT:

Code:

Code:

--[[Background originally by londonali1010 (2009)
