Did you mount fortune-like-app on this conky or you search for new quote every screenshot?

No fortune, this is a simple Conky which is executing script fetching quotes from some online API. Every 30 minutes IIRC.

Very, very basic at the moment, but I will improve it after I manage to release Mabox Istredd…

#!/bin/bash
DIR="$HOME/.config/quoter"
mkdir -p "$DIR"

export Q=$(curl -s "http://api.forismatic.com/api/1.0/?method=getQuote&format=json&lang=en" | sed 's|\\||g' )
QUOTE=$(echo $Q | jq .quoteText)
AUTOR=$(echo $Q | jq .quoteAuthor | tr -d '"')
echo "${QUOTE}|${AUTOR}" >> "${DIR}"/forismatic.txt

printf "\${font Droid Sans:size=18}\${color}"
echo ${QUOTE} | fmt -80
printf "\${font Droid Sans:size=12}\${alignr}\${color0}"
echo "— ${AUTOR}"

You can start this Conky from Colorizer… it is named Quoter.

Sorry again for my absence and here is why.
Yes I finally done here is my desktop after 2 months of projecting, measuring,geatering and cutting… :smiley:
90% are reused and recycled materials so all project (table tops and aluminum stands, cable and lights where about 50 euro )
All that stuff was reclaimed or scrap both on weight price (like aluminum and other frames ) or for free (like much of the book shelves wood) other stuff I was having laying around ( yes like orange light was from tractor ).
Enjoy the video

So much time was wasted sice I was making and crafting this crazy fortress alone and many parts broke down or where nothing fitting that’s the big problem when you are reusing recycled or junk parts.
Hope you find it inspiring :blush:
