This is a conky/awk script used to output Twidge updates (CLI client for Twitter) straight on your own desktop/background. It uses conky ( http://conky.sourceforge.net/ ) and Awk ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWK ) to output the updates straight from your twitter page using Twidge ( https://github.com/jgoerzen/twidge/wiki ). HOW TO USE: Just install twidge and conky, use the command "twidge setup" (read the man page for more details) to connect your twitter account. Then put both .conkyrc and .conkyawk files in your /home/<username> folder (where <username> is your system's user account) and launch conky. Add it to your autostart programs if you need. CUSTOMIZATION: This script runs an interface that is optimized for my own desktop and color theme, feel free to modify it and fix it as much as you like, everything is free and open :) AUTHOR: You can find me @ http://morgawr.not-a-number.net or mail me at morgawr@gmail.com
