And to tell people to frak off if they complain too much when extras-devel software does just that.)
i dunno man, look at google, is gmail out of beta yet? I can't update this in extras as there is no need for two conky versions in there, and if i replace the existing one, people will flip out if it doesn't work in some circumstances.

but how can i get anyone to test and find these problems if i don't post it somewhere? i made that garage project page first, and i've linked to it and included a huge warning that it might not work. please don't say it's "alpha", i took it as far as I could without flashing my device to re-test it!
