Screenshot#1 - old .conkyrc, clogs my screen.
Blurred section - username@hostname
Screenshot#2 - new .conkyrc-minimal, no clog!
Blurred section 1 - username@hostname
Blurred section 2 - Public IP
ninja edit: no idea about the black slash through the upper panel on image 2, I probably messed something up when editing.
