I cobbled together an RSS reader in perl for conky which is a little utility to display info on the root window in linux.  I was just thinking, is there such a thing as an RSS feed from a DX cluster?  If so I could have it display on my desktop which would be pretty slick.  

The bottom stories from Reuters in this screen shot is the RSS reader:

I have thought about using conky to display a irc room (#cqdx on irc.radiochat.org) but I just keep it pulled up on my chrubuntu laptop next to my monitors. Synergy-foss lets me use my mouse and keyboard back and forth.

Doh, i didn't know about that.  I wonder if ircii will log to a file?   One way or the other it's doable.

That was my plan, use wee-chat to pipe the stuff to a file and then  tail 10 lines every so often
