I can never pass up the opportunity to show off my conky, so here it is.
Uses a couple of custom scripts (for example, the appointments are pulled from Google Calendar) and the slideshow is a small script to select and scale the image. I've been using this a while, though I tweak it, add to it, and remove from it often.
I couldnt find any other conky threads here, so I'll be posting here. This is my current setup:
Here is my conky config :

I kinda have two questions:
1 - My CPU has been listed twice. How would I change this ?
2 - I would really like a graph showing ram usage, similar to the CPU usage above(as in, something that shows the changes in ram usage over time). How would I go about doing this, preferably in the same colour ?

WoW!!!! I forgot all about this thread .... I just updated my weather conky when I got an email about steak1987's contribution. That reminded me it's here so here's mine.
Weather on the left has nothing below TEXT - just uses two LUA scripts mrpeachy's v9000 weather script and draw-bg.lua (they all use that)
Email Currency exchange on the bottom uses conkyEmail
Conky on the right uses mounted.lua to show when External devices are plugged in and mounted. It can "all" mounted devices but since I have no need to show M|6 or M|7 (dev/sda6, dev/sda7) I just set up the external devices:
and with a couple of external devices plugged in:
Any code available on request ... all of it will be too much for one post.

Memory usage graph. Uses a logarithmic scale (to see small numbers) when you use the -l switch. Takes the switch '-t' to use a temperature gradient, which makes the gradient values change depending on the amplitude of a particular graph value (try it and see).
AWESOME!!!! I didn't know that, I found that line in a conky LUA script just yesterday that's why I used it here ... I'm totally green behind the ears with this kind of stuff ...
