Posting comments is something we often do and never return to the scene of the crime (unless, of course, you posted a comment sure to stir up some contention, in which case you’d be checking back frequently to see what sort of damage you’d done… as with digg.com, for example).

With the end in sight I wish you luck with finishing your degree. Having to do statistics as well as your major project? I can think of sharp implements I’d prefer to stick into my eyeballs than have to go through that double-whammy of delight! I’m so glad that it’s over :-)

I’m turning 33 soon and that’s definitely time to finish school (though, I’ve recently started piano lessons, so I guess I’m still a glutton for punishment).

Cheers,

Marc

Please accept my very late thanks for your reply of 10th. March 2006. I had not actually realised that you had replied until I was Googleing my name today and it picked up my name on this page.

Anyway, congratulations on your graduation. I think out of all my CSU subjects that you were perhaps the person who was in the most of the time. I am currently suffering the joys of the Major Project subject plus the Descion Support statistical subject with my graduation scheduled for May 2008. As I have just turned 50 I guess it is about time that I left school for good.

Anyway, best of luck with your future career.

The Webtemp program can be found here: http://www.coolhardware.de/ and costs 11 Euro. You don’t have to configure it to upload images to a web site, so you can keep it running in the sys-tray and use it stand-alone. I would have to say that if you have installed any Windows software before, then you could easily install this :)

It comes with easy-to-use options for further configuration if you should be interested in tweaking it a little. Webtemp relies on SpeedFan or Mother Board Monitor to get CPU temperate information, but the product web page explains that.

Perhaps DOS is limited, but any of the popular shells available in Linux/BSD/OS-X/Unix are miles ahead. It’s been a while since I did much with Linux, but my “Learning the BASH Shell” O’Reilly book leaves me with no doubt that DOS is an amoeba’s toy by comparison (no offense intended, since I still have to put up with the limitations of DOS and batch files on a daily basis at work, sadly).

Nice site.

Just enquiring regarding your neat P.C. Stats.

What software ( freeware ? ) etc. would I need to get a similiar thing up and running locally on my own P.C. ( Not intending to publish to the web at this stage ).

Also what particular skills would I need to get PC Stats up and running ?

Being a fair bit older than yourself ( 48 in fact ) I am a bit of a Command Line ( DOS ) fanatic. I am into administration sites such as http://www.commandline.co.uk and http://www.robvanderwoude.com/

I find the Command Line to be both very limited and extremely powerful.
