I like it, you should post a video of it in action.
I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say lets evolve, let the chips fall where they may.

Re: My Conky Config
you can see it working here:
only the cpu bar does much though 
also is there some option i need to change in recordmydesktop to stop it greying everything out?
or is there a better recording utility?

It's hard to find something if you don't know what you're looking for.
I have a blog, it's mostly about conky and lua stuff... go here.

Re: My Conky Config
You make super+ space
Preferences
Openbox config
Edit rc.xml
then you find this part of code and replace firfox by the command to launch the browser you want.
<keybind key="W-w">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<name>Web Browser</name>

UPDATE
Below is the lua code for vertical and horizontal graphs with gradients
the setup for this lua is more involved if you want gradientsthan if you dont, so the non gradient version is also posted

lua_load ~path~/bargraphtest.lua
lua_draw_hook_pre draw_graph
TEXTThis isnt the easiest script to set up, particularly if you want multiple graphs from the script. but the script contains instructions on how to do it.
PREVIOUS VERSION
displays cpu usage as both positive and negative at each point
you can change the direction that the graph moves in, colors, bar thickness and spacing, have gridlines on or off and graph height.
you can now edit a setting to get either bars up only, bars down only or bars up and down
these are 2 seperate scrrenshots edited together. To get more than one of these graphs at the same time you would have to duplicate most of the draw_graph function within that function.
Other than that I think i have everything set up correctly

It's hard to find something if you don't know what you're looking for.
I have a blog, it's mostly about conky and lua stuff... go here.

Re: My Conky Config
This one is proving a little more difficult
the problem is that the line chart part is always one cycle behind on displaying the cpu data, i compensated by adding a cpu bar on the side (it also covers up the fact that the furthest right plot point is always 0)... but still
i have a fuzzy understanding of the issue at work, but too fuzzy to try and explain them 
here it is in action (a bit jumpy in this clip, I was having some slow down issues)

Re: My Conky Config
the line graph was giving me problems for a while now but I've had a breakthrough and now its working.
this is what I was aiming for, inspired by a electroencephalogram output
see it in action here
http://blip.tv/file/3259598
code needs to be prettied up and settings need to be set, so I wont post code just yet
UPDATE - things are cleaned up and i have set up the script to give a similar kind of output choices as my bargraph above:
either the zig zag up and down,
only up
or only down.
and here is the code:
--[[linegraph/electroencephalogram lua script by mrpeachy 2010]]

local delim_from, delim_to = string.find( self, delimiter, from )

from = delim_to + 1
delim_from, delim_to = string.find( self, delimiter, from )
end
table.insert( result, string.sub( self, from ) )
return result

Re: My Conky Config
i'be been looking at applying shading to cairo objects... turns out it wasn't nearly as difficult as i thought it was going to be.
I used the conky blog contest (valentine theme) as an excuse to try it out with the flower conky I made.
http://blog.conky.be/2010/02/03/februar … ymassacre/
UPDATE
I decided to draw the hearts in cairo and shade them to match the flowers better (I had a heart shape on file from my first flower conky).
The hearts don't do anything, just look pretty.
Also you can now change the number of petals for each flower.
A minor fix to work on is so that when you change the petal number the shading effect stays the same.
(and yes, it is very pink.)
these meters were completely redesigned (again) to incorporate a shading effect on each petal.
the hearts are on the wallpaper

while delim_from do
table.insert( result, string.sub( self, from , delim_from-1 ) )
from = delim_to + 1
delim_from, delim_to = string.find( self, delimiter, from )
end
table.insert( result, string.sub( self, from ) )
return result

It's hard to find something if you don't know what you're looking for.
I have a blog, it's mostly about conky and lua stuff... go here.

Re: My Conky Config
This is my attempt to create a simple and useful conky display. I removed as much as possible to try and improve the "information-to-ink" ratio that people like Edward Tufte talk about. I want to be able to glance quickly at it to get what I need: and idea of whether there is something going wrong that needs attention. If the bars and graphs are small on the screen, they are generally OK. As more resources get committed to tasks, the amount of white ink increases -- which is a signal to me to investigate. But if things are OK, then I don't want it to grab my attention. A useful analogy from the message board linked above: Imagine a boss walking down a hallway with glass walls where his employees work in offices on the other side of the glass. As he walks, he glances into each office. If he can see complex pictures or alot of activity going on from his distant viewpoint, he knows he should go in and ask the employee what is happening.
in other words: the display should be small -- and even boring -- until it needs my attention.
What's new about this?
1. Exponential moving averages
I wanted something slightly different from the standard conky timeseries graphs for showing trends in resource usage. While those standard ones show good detail over recent time, they aren't able to show long-term trends. So I created a lua script to keep track of both short-term and long-term moving averages. I'm using it to plot a set of 5 averages each for CPU, network up, network down. That allows me to compare 15 time-ordered numbers with a quick glance and see activity on a scale from 2 seconds to 1 hour.
The script is copied into this message below. This is my first lua script and my first experience with conky, and so it probably contains some silly workarounds for things I couldn't find in lua and conky. It's based on general purpose functions, so if other people want to track moving averages of other quantities over other time ranges, they should be able to use this script with minimal modifications.
2. drawing vertical bars without cairo
I'm running crunchbang 9.04, and from what I can see, the most recent version of conky in the repositories is v.1.7.1.1. This means I don't have access to cairo (unless I upgrade manually). So I used the $hr element along with $alignr and $voffset to draw the vertical bars.
3. checking on a specific user's activity
Backup processes run daily on my system and sometimes run at inconvenient times - stealing resources from me while I'm working, so I included a check to see if that process is running. If it is, it tells me for how long it's been running - so that I can know whether it's a good idea to postpone it or to let it finish.
4. workaround for mpd status and non-smartness
I read elsewhere that the conky option for $if_mpd_playing was broken in v.1.7.1 so I put together an equivalent function. Also I didn't like how the $mpd_smart handled the names of internet radio stations, so I wrapped it in a function to see if there was an $mpd_name available instead.
comments and suggestions welcome! Thanks to all the good posts here that helped me get this done.

-- System resource usage
-- exponentially decaying moving averages
-- developed for conky version 1.7.1.1 (requires lua, but does not require cairo)
-- dbro, 2010
-- Especially intended to track cpu0, eth0, wlan0 usage over time.
-- Goal is to provide an easy-to-interpret and rich answer to the
-- questions:
-- * How much activity is there now?
-- * And how does this compare with recent and long-term history?
-- Comparing across different time scales (1-second, 1-hour, 1-day) is
-- difficult with common linear scale time series charts. This program
-- enables tracking arbitrary time scales and visual comparison.
-- As an example, I use it to see gauge activity of my CPU and network
-- over the very recent time (2 seconds) and very long time (1 hour) which
-- alerts me to recent short-term variance and long-term trends.
-- The code contains convenient aliases for use in tracking common
-- variables: cpu, eth0, wlan0. It can be used to track moving averages
-- of any variable instead (with minimal modification).
-- WHAT IS AN EXPONENTIAL MOVING AVERAGE?
-- see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average#Exponential_moving_average
-- X(t) = moving average with exponential decay at time t
-- number of periods to average over = n, current measurement = c:
-- X(t) = X(t-1)*(n-1)/n + c*(1/n)
-- Note that this is done differently (not correctly) in linux kernel
-- when calculating system load averages. Short-term averages are most
-- affected by this difference. The kernel's method is this:
-- X(t) = X(t-1)*e^(-1/n) + c*(1 - e^(-1/n))
-- EXPONENTIAL DECAY PARAMETERS --
-- these values should be integers >= 0
-- they will be sorted to be in order from largest to smallest for display
-- eg for 1s, 10s, 1m, 10m, 1h averages, use:
-- local time_factors_seconds = {3600,600,60,10,1}
local update_frequency = 2 -- seconds per update (should match conky's settings)
local time_factors_seconds = {3600,600,60,10,1}
-- REQUIREMENTS!! --
-- The vbar drawing routine uses the colors defined in the .conkyrc file
-- to assign colors to each average when drawing the vbars. The most
-- recent average will use color1, and the largest time period will
-- use colorN where N is the number of (valid) items in the
-- time_factors_seconds table above.
-- Also make sure you put this line in .conkyrc:
-- lua_load path_to_this_script/this_script_name.lua
-- USAGE EXAMPLES
-- This is a two-step process:
-- 1) First, the state must be updated. This should be done only once per
-- conky update cycle.
-- 2) Then the state can be read. This can happen in various ways and
-- done zero or more times per conky update cycle.
-- As a convenience, there are wrapper functions for common variables
-- (cpu, eth0, wlan0). It is possible to use the underlying functions
-- to track any variable, but we won't describe how to do that in these
-- instructions.
-- CPU isage example --
-- To update the cpu usage averages, we use conky's built-in $cpu object:
-- ${lua_read_parse update_state_cpu ${cpu cpu0}}
-- Then to read the most current state:
-- ${lua display_current_state_cpu}
-- And to create a vertical bar chart showing all of the exponential
-- averages, with a height of 10 and width of 45, and a maximum value
-- that will be at least 100:
-- ${lua_parse display_vbars_cpu 10 45 100}
-- Network throughput example --
-- To update a set of network throughput averages representing
-- the eth0 interface's upload activity, we use this function:
-- ${lua update_state_eth0_up}
-- Then to read the most current state, displaying the number of kB per
-- second with 1 digit of precision after the decimal:
-- ${lua display_current_state_eth0_up 1}
-- And to create a vertical bar chart showing all of the exponential
-- averages, with a height of 10 and width of 45, and a maximum value
-- that will be at least 100:
-- ${lua_parse display_vbars_eth0_up 10 45 100}
-- Note that the third parameter is accurately described as a "minimum
-- maximum value", and if any of the moving averages are greater than
-- that parameter, the entire chart will be re-scaled to use the actual
-- maximum instead of the parameter given here.
-- For plotting download activity, the vbars routine can produce
-- a plot that shows values as going downward from the top of the chart.
-- To use this mode, supply a negative value for the height, ie:
-- ${lua_parse display_vbars_eth0_down -10 45 170}
-- PREFERRED FUNCTION CALLS
-- When calling from conky, we suggest using these functions to interact
-- with this libaray. It is possible to get to the data more directly
-- using other functions, but these are the intended interface.

Re: My Conky Config

I really liked your idea of recording usage over a set time period.
But I didn't really understand how you were doing it with your script...
and I didn't understand how your graph output was displaying the information...
so i tried to do what you described myself (or at least what I thought you were describing) using my own logic
I got this:
it shows cpu usage...
current and then averages over the last minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes and 30 minutes.

endit records cpu usage in tables of lengths according to the time frame I want to average, then it sums up all the entries and averages them every cycle...
so until the script has been running for each interval it will appear to be underestimating the average for that interval.
I originally had it so that each interval was only averaged at the end of a cycle the length of the interval... ie the script would run for 5 mins then disply the 5 min average and update every 5 mins, then i realized that this wasn't necessary and i could have "live" averages. So some things in the script would not make much sense without knowing this like the use of a timer.
After a period of reflection on this script I think I can probably reduce the line count and make the whole thing less complicated....
UPDATE - which is what I have done above

Re: My Conky Config
MrPeachy- Those are nice looking bars.
The exponentially decaying average may be simpler than your algorithm: less space, fewer operations to update and calculate it. Here's a quick example: to maintain the e.d.average over a 3 period range with the first 4 periods of data = {4,2,0,6}, these would be the calculations:
We need to keep track of only 2 numbers: the number of measurements collected so far and the current average.
Start with the pair (0, 0.0). Your first measurement is 4, and you are working with a 3-period average. So your state will be updated like this:
average @ time=1: (0.0 * 2/3) + (4 * 1/3) = 4/3 = 1.333 (but we've only got 1 measurement, so it's an incomplete average and shouldn't be used)
then continue:
average @ time=2: (1.333 * 2/3) + (2 * 1/3) = 14/9 = 1.555 (still incomplete because we've only seen 2 measurements)
average @ time=3: (1.555 * 2/3) + (0 * 1/3) = 1.037 (this is the first average that is based on 3 measurements, so we can use it. Note that it's not the same as the simple average of (4+2+0)/3 = 2.00, because it puts more weight on recent values. continuing:
average @ time=4: (1.037 * 2/3) + (6 * 1/3) = 2.691
the 2/3 comes from the number of periods per average. it's (n-1)/n. and the 1/3 is just 1/n
At first I didn't like the way the graph output appeared -- it doesn't separate the bars cleanly. This was the only way I could see to do it because the hr element draws a bar from the current position to the far right of the conky window. But now that I have seen it for a few days, I think it makes sense: it will show the longer-term averages as underneath and spanning the recent ones, as it overlaps those time periods, too. And the greying out is a cue that the data that is more grey (less vivid) is older.

Re: My Conky Config
@dbro
that exponentially decaying average method you describe makes sense and it would certainly make the script run lighter
i did say that I used my own logic

I agree
Ive been working on some more isometric drawing functions...
here is the cpu recording function from above represented with the new function.
the darker bars are all small because the conky hasn't been running for very long.
I need to add titles and make the whole thing more configurable
working out all of the mathematics to get the perspectives right was the hard part... my math skills suck!
code later unless anyone really wants to see it

Re: My Conky Config
Mr Peachy, don't worry if this is hard.. but if it is easy can you help?
I want to list the latest jobs from this site in a conky (save refreshing the page all the time)
I was looking at your past examples of curl but I can't get it to work..
If it is tricky, forget it, it is not really important

it can be tricky, depending on the site... pulling out the info relies on the line that has the information having something that distinguishes it from the lines you don't want (or at least the method i have used before does)
i took a look at the source code for that site and it seems that this is the case...
you want a list of the "top ads" i assume?
and it could be possible to get the descriptions too
i'll have to see how rusty my curl/grep/awk/sed skills have gotten

Re: My Conky Config
@tawan
i would go for the rss feed http://sydney.gumtree.com.au/f-SearchAd … on=3000001
then either use conkys built in rss function or grab a script, theres quite a few around, you could even write your own, i believe python comes with an rss module.
