Yea, I guess we were both doing the same thing at the same time.

Glad you are up and running.

Great minds think alike!

Interesting, I am getting the following error:

sh ~/Conky/Scripts/conky-rss.sh http://www.us-cert.gov/current/index.rdf|sed 's/\(.\{1,150\}\)\(.*\)/\1/'
/home/dmiller/Conky/Scripts/conky-rss.sh: 28: [[: not found
head: $[25: invalid number of lines
tail: $[25]: invalid number of lines

This is what is in my conkyrc:

${execpi 3600 ~/Conky/Scripts/conky-rss.sh http://www.us-cert.gov/current/index.rdf|sed 's/\(.\{1,150\}\)\(.*\)/\1/'}

Well if you were flipping coins 25 heads and 25 tails sounds good to me except for being "totally off topic" cuz I'm tired.

CHIMO!

That URL returns a bit of a different format for the rss. I'm working on it. Shouldn't be too long.

Yeah, they just have to make things more difficult.
conky-rss.sh has been updated to handle http://www.us-cert.gov/current/index.rdf

${execpi 3600 $HOME/Conky/Scripts/conky-rss.sh http://www.us-cert.gov/current/index.rdf|sed 's/\(.\{1,150\}\)\(.*\)/\1/'}

I've been using $HOME instead of ~ because it doesn't cause trouble as often. not that ~ causes that much trouble.

Ok CERT is working now but lifehacker is broke:

~/Conky/Scripts$ sh ~/Conky/Scripts/conky-rss.sh http://lifehacker.com/tag/top/index.xml 5|sed 's/\(.\{1,50\}\)\(.*\)/\1/'

I just cannot figure out my transparency issue. I copied and pasted my .conkyrc from a previous post I made and didn't change anything. The background was transparent when I was using Ubuntu. Does anyone have a clue what I need to do?

It looks different from the compiz transparency issue, maybe it's a kde thing?

That's what I was thinking.
