Conky Lua Cairo binding madness

If you are like me, and spent hours trying to get lua rings working in conky on crunch bang, then follow these steps.
1.Remove conky "sudo apt-get remove conky"
2.Go here: https://launchpad.net/~norsetto/+archive/ppa/+packages
3.Download the conky 1.7.2 appropriate for your system, ex: conky-all_1.7.2-0ubuntu6~jaunty1_i386.deb
4. Install with sudo dpkg --install "your conky .deb file here"
5.Thank Bruce M. http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org … &page=1056

What I did was

- go to https://launchpad.net/~norsetto/+archive/ppa

- copied

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/norsetto/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/norsetto/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

to /etc/apt/sources.list

- followed the instructions here: https://launchpad.net/+help/soyuz/ppa-sources-list.html (Telling Ubuntu how to authenticate the PPA)

- sudo apt-get update

- sudo apt-get install conky-all

This way, when there is an update for conky (and it is added to the norsetto repository), your conky will automatically be updated during a system-update

oh yeah? well, your momma dresses you funny and you need a mouse to delete files
