DONE: Drive space monitor I went around to my friends house last weekend to fix his computer. One of the problems was that he had about 4mb of free space on C. After deleting a temp CD image file he nearly had 1gb free and things had improved. I do alot of tech support for friends and family. I think it would be useful to have a little program that I could give out (a single small exe) that can sit in the startup folder. To configure the program I state how much disk space I would ideally like to be free or state a percentage. On bootup of Windows it does a little check to see if this amount of space is indeed free. If not a message pops up (we should be able to insert whatever we want) with a warning. e.g "Hey Dan, Windows is running low on diskspace. Give me a call and we will sort it out - Deano". Read about and download the coding snack program written by DC member Edvard to do this.. |

Blog Series: Wiring the house for a Home Network - Part 5 - Gigabit ThroughputScott Hanselman writes a pretty nice and lighthearted blog on programming tools and related things. He's recently been describing his new home networking setup, and it's a good read because he goes into some real detail about choices he made and issues he's solved.. I posted earlier about copying files across my new Gigabit home network. I was getting about 10 MB/s (that's MegaBytes) between two laptops and I got responses like these in the comments that shook my confidence. Here's my thoughts after each interesting comment that appeared in the previous post: "You should be pushing at least 100 megabytes per second with gigabit ethernet." http://www.hanselman...oughputAndVista.aspx |

Gamespot Editor Fired for Writing an Honest ReviewWe've heard an unsettling rumor today from an anonymous tipster that longtime game reviewer Jeff Gerstmann from Gamespot has been let go. That wouldn't necessarily be newsworthy, but the conditions under which he was allegedly dismissed were. According to the source, Gerstmann was fired "on the spot" due to advertiser pressure for his review of Eidos' Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. A visit to Gamespot shows that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game has taken over the site very prominently, with backgrounds and multiple banner ads all pitching Kane & Lynch. Allegedly, publisher Eidos "took issue with the review and threatened to pull its ad campaign." Gamespot Editor Fired Over Kane & Lynch Review?

BLDG BLOG: Journey to See the Center of the EarthFrom the marvelous BLDG BLOG, comes this riff on the Ice Cube project: man's latest attempt to peer at what lurks in the center of earth. http://bldgblog.blog...and-earths-core.html What I like about BLDG is the tangental approach to science and technology. Within the same article is speculation that maybe machines like this already exist and we've looked right past them, what would happen if the face of Jesus is revealed, Eggo waffles, and C4 explosives. All in one magnificent link-strewn blog posting. Check out the whole site; it's worth it. |

Substrate: Cool Screensaver!Ok this is an odd post. I saw a really hypnotising screen-saver running on a Linux box. It looks like a type of self-drawing modern art. I had no access to the PC so snapped a pic with my camera phone. Is there any chance that someone out there knows the name, I just have track it down..
