Want to be better - faster?(original articled sumbitted to #HARPG-Mentors )
It's time we sit down and have a little chat about art ^^
People often talk to me about becoming better at anatomy, coloring etc etc etc. How they wish they where as good as me and so on.
My response is always basicly the same and not really a big surprice: "Practice!"
But the learning curve is different for all artists.
Sometimes we feal like we're stuck, right?
We see all this pretty art from the people we watch, see how they do perfect anatomy how they mix amazing colors and do textures that are so perfect it's photo realistic. And then we open our own program with this great will to be the best(!), stares at a blank canvas and just think "POOP".
Am I right?
As much as other artists might inspire us - they also make us think "I will never be that good".
Sad, but true. I think it at least once a week. Sometimes I feal like that for entire weeks.
So now I can talk for hours about believing in your skillz, we'll get there yada yada yWant to be better - faster? by ~DaneStables

Conky: Gentoo theme (updated)

Conky is a free software system monitor for the X Window System. It is available for Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD.

After some time using my old Conky theme for Gentoo, I decided to change a couple of features and add some others I need most. This update includes:

A fixed lua script when dealing with nil values

Two nested rings or CPU usage

A new ring set for wireless with in/out and signal strength

Text legends now are right-aligned

Labels and values are swapped in text legends (label above, values below)

and the key feature:

A hint on the currently compiled package when you run emerge anywhere!

Archive content

.conkyrc
.lua/scripts/rings.lua
bin/estatus (symlink to estatus.sh)
bin/estatus.sh

You're supposed to backup these files beforehand if you don't want to overwrite them.

Installation

The custom shell script (estatus.sh, included in the archive) is required to display the hint on the current compile process. Put it into /usr/local/bin/ or customize .conkyrc accordingly:
