Description: I didn't have enough room for all the info I wanted to display in Conky, so I wrote a Python script to increment a number (or choose one randomly), write it to a file, then use ${if_existing filename number} tags to change what content is displayed (GMail, message of the day, various RSS feeds) in the bottom section of my Conky every 5 minutes.
