nice, I need to grab that wallpaper again sometime. It's been a while since I've used it, but it's still a favorite. Heres the one I've been mostly using lately http://divineerror.deviantart.com/art/L … e-20008390, because my wife always says she loves me so much it makes her want to puke wink

I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say lets evolve, let the chips fall where they may.

its 1984, "Corenominal is watching you." was supposed to be a reference, like "Big Brother is watching you"

Re: ASCII generator - Just when you thought you had too much time

how about an all ascii conky?
http://omploader.org/tM3MyZg

all working... and you can change the size of the ascii text in the script... but I'm having some alignment issues...
i have used the cairo translate command in the lua script to take into account the differences in the widths of the characters... but that is also causing problems because translate in cumulative so even though I'm calling a separate instance of the ascii converter function, the position of the ascii text is be influenced by the previous use of the function...

http://omploader.org/tM3MybA
yes there is an image above, not just black... i went with the ever popular green on black smile

solved the major alignment issue... still a couple of niggles to work out though...

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.
