I got a little bored yesterday, so I downloaded Conky, it’s a kind of system monitor for Linux machines, though if you check it may run on Windows/Mac as well.
Anyway, I decided I wouldn’t download it from the repositories ready made and ready to run. I downloaded the source code and compiled it myself, so I had the very latest version 
I’m glad I did, it taught me some new things
I have to say that I REALLY like it. Especially because of the capabilities it has…and how much you can customise it…I spent around 2-4 hours customising mine!
Here’s a screen shot of the finished product (Click the thumbnail for the full size image)
