DriveGLEAM: - Hard-drive activity monitoring utility:
Development status: Stable

DriveGLEAM is a utility who indicates read/write activity for your hard drives in the system notification area (also known as the system tray). It also supports output via the parallel port so that you can for example use a red led for write and a green led for read access.

Features:
  • Monitor physical disks or partitions (or both)
  • Allows for CPU, RAM , VRAM usage display in tray.
  • Read / Write / ReadWrite and Idle status indicators
  • Indicators in tray or the parallel port, output directly to LED's, Just place some LED's on top of your monitor and enjoy real monitoring of read/write status realtime ;) (no special hardware required)
  • Keyboard scroll lock LED option.
  • Uses very few resources (including cpu usage)
  • Very stable.
  • Does not "hook" into your system
  • Standalone, does not require a install but uses inno setup for your convenience.
  • Failure in DriveGLEAM can't "freeze" your drives.
  • Configurable start with os delay
  • Configurable poll rate
  • Does not install lots of files in your system.
Notes:

A (older) special Win2k version is due to high demand available (check the download section) please note that the CPU usage function is disabled in this version. Feel free to ask for updates.

Also check out the amazing FloatLED who uses the activity detection code from DriveGLEAM to monitor disks. This program have another approach who might appeal to those of you who don't like filling up your tray with icons but prefer a toolbar / overlay window instead..

::.. AutoLWSNRender V0.1 Beta ..::
AutoLWSNRender preview
AutoLWSNRender:
Development status: - On hold (because of LWAutoRender) -

This is a GUI front end for LightWave's LWSN © NewTek

Features:
Uses IDLE time to render your projects! - allows you to use your computer for anything from other productive work to games or whatever without worrying about bad performance.

Finds last rendered frame and continues rendering from where it was interrupted!

Bugs:
Plenty... :-(

Other information:
This project started out as a real simple idea, but somehow this project became more and more complex. The whole thing was more or less wrecked when rewriting it to support multiple projects, It's a shame since most of the program works perfectly well but was hampered after the multiproject support. Luckily the source was carefully written so most functions worked without any serious rewriting. Sadly other functions did not!, I had now two choices; clean up this mess or rewrite the entire app. So i started LWAutoRender instead. It have a better base to build on since most stuff are coded from scratch and good ideas are taken from AutoLWSNRender, meaning this program should be superior to this one... I might finish this one too sometime but I'm note sure... In such case I'm pretty sure I will try to remove the multiproject stuff so that AutoLWSNRender can handle only one project at once.

::.. CpuUsageLED - WIP ..::

CpuUsageLED (no picture yet)
CpuUsageLED - Cpu Usage monitor via paralell port.
Development status: - WIP -

This is a simple cpu usage monitor utility who will display a "progress bar" with LED's through the paralell port. Another cool idea (from Stein Eikesdal) is to use a good old analog VU-Meter to display cpu-usage. This will probably be a command line tool only (not sure yet).

No soildering is neccesary (even it would make things a bit easier) it's just a matter of plugging LED's directly into the paralell port and watch them glow! :)

I've got a simple version of this running on one of my computers so if this sounds interesting feel free to mail me regarding this project. Otherwise I will let it "idle" for a while...

::.. ConsoleTaskManager - WIP ..::
ConsoleTaskManager (no picture yet)
ConsoleTaskManager:
An alternative taskmanager who runs in text mode only!

Benefits:
If you favorite game freezes it's sometimes difficult to access the standard task manger in Windows either because the screen resolution is hampered or just because the app won't return access to windows (alt-tab blocking).
A solution for this is to switch your graphics card into text mode, from here you can then terminate/close whatever froze and caused the problems.

Guide to replace the standard windows task manager is in the accompanying documentation.

Other notes:

Programs who are in BETA or ALPHA or WIP status have not been tested properly and may be unstable.

Programs who are V1.0  or above is tested and should be quite robust. However I can't guarantee this.

Most of the programs are written for my own purpose and because of that I do my best to make them as robust as possible. As most user's I don't like when programs crash and/or destroy important data so I can assure you that I have tried to think of all possible things that can go wrong and made extra effort to check for, and if possible correct bad input.

This software is freeware so you don't have to pay anything to use it, however if you make your own software or music I would appreciate a free copy or license.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, requests or other suggestions ;)
