Conky config for my conky showing date, time, stats, calendar, mail and weather

Update: Conky weather no longer works, so i have used yahoo weather to get the same effect in my new config. Look here for details.

Since some of you are asking for the conky config for the conky i posted in my previous post, here you go. This is a single instance of conky on my ubuntu maverick, displaying stats, date, time, calendar, gmail and weather.


You will need a lot of fonts and few scripts to run this successfully. 
Fonts used
  1. Radio Space

Essential apps for ubuntu lucid lynx

This is my list of 15 most useful apps for the ubuntu lucid lynx and ubuntu in general.

  1. Google Chrome : Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer and easier.

        I feel that chrome is a wee bit faster than firefox especially the start time.
  2. Google Earth : Google Earth lets you fly anywhere on Earth to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain,3D buildings, from galaxies in outer space to the canyons of the ocean. You can explore rich geographical content, save your toured places, and share with others.

  3. GIMP : GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc. GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted. GIMP is written and developed under X11 on UNIX platforms. But basically the same code also runs on MS Windows and Mac OS X.
