A bitcoin and altcoin watching conky!
Its simple looking, but effective. but it uses lots of scripts :/ . I found the "time and date" conky somewhere on deviant art i think, and just modified it a bit.

All the scripts referenced basically pull information off the internet and echo, or print if its a python script.

You can browse the code that pulls info from btc and cryptsy at http://www.github.com/xdaimon/xdaimonConky
Also a couple other pics of this same conky with slightly different settings http://xdaimon.imgur.com/all/

If anybody has any suggestions or improvements let me know

Awesome WM.

This might be in the wrong thread. I don't imagine Ubuntu would be proud of AWM.

Still a WIP very much.

Thanks to mrpeachy - my latest wunderground lua weather script:

Here's the conky under re-development
(I never leave well enough alone):

1. Note the ñ as a place holder for outputs that could be longer than they are,
2. I also dropped the metric ending for temperatures in favour of a simple ° as I know my conky uses °C
3. Oh ... and I removed the snow stuff - only three times since 1919 - I'm not worried!

And here it is all cleaned up
and back in it's "box"

mrpeachy - very impressive script ... Thank you.

[Petro Dawg]

@ Petro Dawg

This just in from TEO:



The fix as of 6 Jan 2014 is here.

Teo says Thank you Petro Dawg.

Let me add my thanks as well, Petro Dawg.
I have all of his scripts here, but rarely venture into the land of the font scripts.

CCCC in action!

It has been a week since I've sat down at my computer; what was I doing again??? Oh, yeah... Teo's weather script.

You both are welcome and thank you for doing the leg work on that, I will try to test his updates this weekend. I noticed the previous weather script stopped with a segmentation fault sometime throughout the week (could be due to my non-standard installation of Conky, or my edits to the 1b2 weather script, or combination of both), however amazingly my main Conky is still running after a week+ of constant running.

[Sector11]

i do? well that explains it!
if you would please do so

But now you can't quote your other self.

@ Petro Dawg

Leg work was nothing - getting worried about you though.

Life - it gets in the way of all the fun stuff.

Glad to see you're still with us.

I'll fix that - but only for the rest of this post.


Hey, you're busy in the development lab, I thought I'd help with some field work

If I may - add an & to the end of that - then you can hit [Return] or [Enter] and the terminal is returned to you.

conky -c /home/username/wun/wunrc &

Looks good mrpeachy and works like a champ here!!

Any way you could make it veritcal, kindsa like this.Selection_001.png

[Sector11]

Any way you could make it veritcal, kindsa like this.Selection_001.png

Already in the works to make one similar to my current (now old) v9000 script. <- click for the whole thing.

However you could always grab the script, WUN - in my signature, and give it a try.
