<h4>eating previous thoughts</h4>
<p>I wanted to keep my status bar simple, and slstatus fitted the bill</p>
<p>But I was missing an indication of the CPU temperature as I got tired of using conky
as it was only visible on empty DWM tags, and I didn't want to try writing a program in C to do it.</p>
<p>So a new status monitor was needed. I liked the idea of dwmblocks firing up bash scripts,
but I tried the original and several forks without luck. I finally settled on
dwmblocks-async, because it is more recent and ... it worked.</p>
