You're using the good 'ol DJS code (plastered all over the web) -- and it's buggy!

This is what I came up with, a few weeks ago (so far, so good):

##################
##   CALENDAR   ##
##################
${voffset 6}${font WenQuanYiMicroHei:bold:size=8.75}${color4}DATE${offset 8}${color8}${voffset -2}${hr 2}${font}

${voffset -69}${font LiberationMono:size=8}${color3}${execpi 1800 VinDSL_Cal3= cal | sed '1d' | sed s/^/"\$\{offset 100"\}/ | sed '/^ *$/d' | sed 's/\<'"$(date +%-d)"'\>/${color4}&${color3}/'}${font}

Short n' sweet. Feel free to rape it!

I'm sure you're smart enough, to figure out how to make suitable adjustments (for your Conky).

Here it is in action...

If it doesn't work for you, let me know...

I can't get the days of the week to line up.

${voffset -1}${font Droid Sans Mono:size=7}${color3}${execpi 1800 VinDSL_Cal3= cal | sed '1d' | sed s/^/"\$\{offset 31"\}/ | sed '/^ *$/d' | sed 's/\<'"$(date +%-d)"'\>/${color4}&${color3}/'}${font}

Simple, but serves it's purpose.

background yes
use_xft yes
xftfont Dejavu Sans Bold:size=9
xftalpha 1
update_interval 1.0
total_run_times 0
own_window yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_type normal
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
double_buffer yes
minimum_size 200 200
maximum_width 240
draw_shades yes
draw_outline no
draw_borders no
draw_graph_borders no
default_color white
default_shade_color black
default_outline_color white
alignment tr
gap_x 12
gap_y 12
no_buffers yes
uppercase no
cpu_avg_samples 2
override_utf8_locale no

SYSTEM INFO:

MUSIC:

It's all pretty much default, besides Music, Top Processes, and the logo.

Dear MR Goombie,
I understand that, however obviously I chose to not use a code tag, purely due to the fact that I wanted to frustrate you, as that is all I'd ever want to do. It could never be that I don't know how to use code tags, nah, definitely not.

[42dorian]

Dear Chazz44able and Mr Goombie,

How nice of you two to be getting along so well! It's nice to see young people with manners for once in this day and age. Yes, indeed, there are such a thing as CODE tags, and indeed we all appreciate when we put our Conky Code and accompanying scripts within them. If you're ever having a problem with your code, it makes it easier for us to read it and help you. But, this isn't a crime if you don't, and I hope, from myself and probably everyone who regulars here, that you don't feel accosted or uncomfortable with the request. Ultimately we're all just trying to share and enjoy Conky for the addiction it is!

Thank You for the good laugh gentlemen! Gave me a good smile while waking up today.

Oh, and frustratednerd? VinDSL is being modest. That's not calendar version 3, it's 3.5 ever since he's added the "Today's Date" code. For that you need to go to dafont.com and download "CutoutsFor3DFX" font. It takes some tweaking to line it up just right, but it's all about tweaking his "alignc" tags to move things to just the right spot. It may, or may not, be pushing your days of the week over, I can't be sure. Especially if you're just dropping his v3 calendar line into a spot occupied by another script's version of the day of the week.

But, Trust the guy! He's awesome at these things!

[Chazz44able]

I'm glad to hear that my pain causes you pleasure. Although I will admit, I'd do the same (bit of a sadist?). I am now fully educated in the art of CODE tags, thanks souly to Mr Goombie, so than you to him and I fully endeavour to use them in the future as much as possible - hence this being layed out in a CODE tag.

I've compiled my conky out of VinDSL (thanks man) and few other's scripts.
Anyway, temp feedback seems to be erroneous. I can get my GPU temp out of Nvidia driver soft, and that doesn't match the feed from the script. How could i confirm whether that data is correct?

"sensors" gave me:

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:       +47.0°C  (crit = +105.0°C)                  
temp2:       +45.0°C  (crit = +105.0°C)                  
temp3:       +28.8°C  (crit = +105.0°C)                  
temp4:       +50.0°C  (crit = +110.0°C)                  
temp5:       +55.0°C  (crit = +256.0°C)                  
temp6:       +43.0°C  (crit = +105.0°C)                  

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:      +47.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)  

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1:      +46.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

conky lines i'm using are:

${voffset 4}${font Poky:size=10}${color2}y${voffset -2}${font}${color6}${offset 4}HD${alignr}${exec hddtemp /dev/sda -n --unit=C}°C
${voffset 2}${font StyleBats:size=10}${color2}A${voffset -2}${font}${color6}${offset 4} CPU ${alignr}${acpitemp}°C
${voffset 4}${font StyleBats:size=10}${color2}k${voffset -2}${font}${color6}${offset 2} GPU ${alignr}${hwmon 0 temp 1}°C

@layr

The core sensor should be accurate. Try using ${hwmon 1 temp 1} for the first core and ${hwmon 1 temp 2} or ${hwmon 2 temp 1} for the second core.

Can someone please tell me if there's a conky line that will show my external IP address I have one that shows my normal local/private IP, but I can't find one that will give me my public IP number.

Also does any one have any ideas as to why conky isn't refreshing as often as it should? infact it seems to be acting sluggish and slow to respond as though its struggling to run but the system isn't doing all that much.

Here:

${execi 3600 curl -s 'www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp'}

Nice and simple!

This is what I use...
