Here’s my small but functional conky config (conkyrc).

It displays:

Battery
CPU Utilisation
RAM Utilisation
SWAP Utilisation
Hard Drive Usage
eth0 and wlan0 stats
Public IP
Wireless Info
Clock

Some bits you might want to change according to your distro.

It requires openlogos font too for the debian/distro logo and curl for the public ip. The initial script isn’t mine; it’s just oen I found and them modified.

Updates and Newness…

Wednesday 28th November 2012 at 5:17 pm
Written by Adam

So this afternoon, I decided to upload and release my latest function mailattch. This function takes php’s mail to a whole new level, allowing files to be attached!

There are currently limitations to it and it isn’t highly tested but everyone is welcome to use it and is release under GPL v3.

I have also pushed a little update to ldir. It’s nothing big, just a shameless link back to here; if you really don’t like it then you’re free to remove it from the function source or you can hide is with CSS via display: none; on the class .ldir_link.

That’s all for now.

ldir 1.7.10 Released

Thursday 22nd November 2012 at 10:03 am
Written by Adam

After reading through ldir’s latest release I found a few bugs which have now been fixed in ldir 1.7.10.

I’ve also rewritten the icon file type check, so we assume some common file types are available and then add any new ones to the array on that call, so if that type is found again in that folder, the icon is already known. All in all resulting in a considerably faster speed for listing the same file types or common files.

There are more extensions supported than listed but I chose not to include them all but you can if you wish.

I will also be looking at overhauling the icons and providing them as a pack allowing you to self host which at the moment isn’t possible due to licesning issue.

Version 1.7.10

Speed optimisations
Rewrote icon checking
Added supported common icons list
Suppressed header() / ob_flush() calls
Fixed ‘parent folder’ link not working

Another ldir Update!

Saturday 10th November 2012 at 8:39 pm
Written by Adam

Yes, I know… No updates for nearly 12 months and then two come along in the same week!

ldir version 1.7.9 is now 10% smaller than 1.7.8! As well as saving minimal disk space, it’s also had some speed increaces.

The only downside is that we had to remove error code 3 from the function in order to speed it up; there are more speed increases to be had if I could reliably detect the file type icons with a fail over if there isn’t a type without utilising cURL.

If you want to customise ldir to not do those checks and just ignore unknown file type icons then the following code alterations will make a significant speed increase.

Change: (approx line 160)

$img = "unknown.png";
$type = "Unknown File";
//Remove this check to speed things up.
if(ldir_url_exists($ldir['im'].strtolower($ext).".png",$ldir['v'])) {
    $img = strtolower($ext).".png";
    $type = strtoupper($ext)." File";
}

To:

$img = strtolower($ext).".png";
$type = strtoupper($ext)." File";

ldir update

Tuesday 6th November 2012 at 8:38 pm
Written by Adam

It’s been nearly a year since any update to ldir; mainly because it’s working quite well without any bugs etc but this update is only minor.

Here’s the Change Log

Version 1.7.8

Added better support for styling – Removed inline width CSS & Added CSS styles for each column
Removed some linebreaks.
Removed/Condensed some code (upto 7% smaller)
Custom UserAgent in CURL Opts.

So in simple terms, I’ve made it tell dropbox (the icon host) that it’s a web app, removed clutter around the code, condensed a few lines and added selectors rather than inline css so styling it (and making it responsive) should be much easier.
