monitoring

I've just started tinkering with conky, and I'm hoping the StackOverflow crowd can share some of the cool things they've done with this tool.

Scripts and .conkyrc files specifically geared towards developers would be especially good to see. Some good examples of developer-centric functions would be repository-monitors or heck, even something that monitors StackOverflow.

Screenshots of what the functionality actually looks like would be appreciated as well.
