Here's a work in progress based on Jessie's conky posted a couple of days ago. Lots of ethernet stuff has been yanked out. Wifi signal strength has been added to help figure out where to put WiFi rabbit ears attached to 15ft USB cable in the room. Extra hard drive stuff has been added in. 9 CPU processes instead of 4 are listed at the expense of taking out MEM listings.
Still need to implement wmctrl for better window positioning as Cranktus had recommended. Need "if-then-else-end" statements to support more than wlan4 and also when external hard drives are not mounted. Thought about weather like the previous poster but long term weather forecasts are always wrong and my weather applet is broken for displaying today's forecast. Also need better Conky text colors for my desktop wallpaper which is turned off in attached screen shot.
In short Conky is a LOT of FUN but is also VERY USEFUL!
ps "normal people" use 1366x768 but my screen 2 is 1368x768

# Original file stored as Conky081214rc - heavily modified to accomodate:
# switch from 1920x1080p to 1280x800 screen1, 1368x768 screen2
# switch from 4 CPU + 3 MEM stats to 5 CPU + 5 MEM stats
# optional switch to 9 CPU stats with no MEM stats
# remove unwanted Network statistics
# add external hard drive & USB stick statistics
# add wifi signal strength (WIP to display #*100/70 %)
# Wi-Fi totals will display on Screen1 only
