quote from dutchmega:
The plan is to extend the global statistics currently at the website to the teams. With other words: full list of teammembers with rank per network/uptime/keyboard/mouse statistics.
I see you have worked this out. It looks great Thank you
btw. posting posts on the forum was unavailable for a few hours. That was due the caching?
Yeah! Maybe it is an idea to add a link in the right bar to go to the last page. Now you go to the first post, but if I go through that navigation bar to the forum, I want to go to the last page.
Another batch of website improvements has gone online:
- Don't count virtual machines in toplists or achievements
- Speed improvements to community-pages
- Forum links now point to the last page
- Show the pages in forum-overview
- A few visual fixes here and there.
I cant change my avatar, while it is available in the preferences. Or should I report this kind of things in a different bug forum (which does not yet exist)?
- Don't count virtual machines in toplists or achievement <- why?
please fix first your uptime bug, when i change my windows time 1 year back and boot my system again end sync. the windows time i have a uptime of 1 year..
I (in my humble opinion) think virtual machines don't really apply to the kind of stats and achievements available right now... keys, mouse clicks, cpu usage, etc... it's all related to the physical machines and us that use them.
But the virtual machine world is yet untapped, I foresee some pretty nifty stats and achievements coming up one of these days all about the VMs... VM kind (VMWare/Hyper-V/Xen/etc...), VM processor/memory/bandwidth/uptime usage, etc... maybe add an item on the top bar of the website, next to the hardware, "Virtualware"?
Maybe an achievement like "VM Ruler" for a user running more than 20 VMs for example, and "VM Server" for a machine that is running more than 10 VMs in itself (if its possible to detect that with deimos)...
The possibilities are still endless... as I said, the VM part is still untapped.
One other thing I wish it would be possible would be to separate intra-net and inter-net bandwidth usage. Folks running intra-nets at home (or at work) get much higher network numbers on the stats than little me with 1 PC
0.8.23 is in the pipeline with a few small improvements, including a fix for incorrect dates at the computer.
Virtual machines are only not counted in global statistics and achievements. I did this because generally people don't work all day in a virtual machine and statistics about that are not so useful.
"maybe add an item on the top bar of the website, next to the hardware, "Virtualware"?"
Guess what was already added?
A few more VM achievements is a nice idea yes.
Separating intranet and internet statistics is really really hard, perhaps not possible. A better solution would be to grab network usage from a router, via the SNMP-protocol. However most users don't have an router (with SNMP)
It detected my virtual machine correctly now, and says it's VMWare. Now I don't know, do I have to delete and recreate my virtual machine entry on the website? Or just wait for the next update and it'll turn it automatically to VM?
So... now my VM is detected correctly as one... so it should be out of the stats equations.... so now I should expect to see my cpu usage average rising up to the 99%? (only 1 real machine here, running at full steam)
And another new idea... something cool, but probably complicated to do, would be to have deimos detect the cpu temperature.
Would be funny to see who's got the "coolest" PCs around here (intended word play ), and who's the "coolest" within the Team.
And that could lead to an achievement like "You're cool!" if your CPU was below a certain temp.
And another idea... adding another table on the hardware page for the different hard drive manufacturers? (Maxtor/Seagate/Western Digital/etc...). Although I know there's many out there unidentified (my PC has a few), it's just like the graphics cards percentages, the total doesn't reach 100%.
I have been wanting to add temperatures to Deimos for a while now but this is mostly impossible for me An option would be to use any available 3rdparty applications (for example Speedfan) but it isn't so easy. Also paying 1000 dollars for an 3rdparty library is a bit too expensive.
I've noticed that after installing Deimos on Vista x64 it also installed the Bonjour app and I got two links on the start menu for that now.
But I was going around it and it seems to be a 32bit version. (installs on program files (x86))
Shouldn't the 64bit Deimos come packaged with the 64bit version of Bonjour?
I noticed that all my XP64 clients don't show number of cores correctly and also don't count keys and clicks. is this something you know about and are working on?
@Neogen: I googled around and I can extract the temperatures if someone is constantly running Speedfan or Coretemp. But are there many people who do this?
Bonjour should be 64-bit, I'll recheck it.
@Liuqyn: I was not aware of this. I'll look into it.
I was hoping that maybe Coretemp could work if you added to the bundle only that dll file the developer provides on the website.
If it needs the whole application running then yea, it's bad. And come to think of it, on the coretemp website it only talked about windows so it would also be bad if it didn't work on linux.
thanks, also I see its doing the same thing on windows home server(32 bit) which it identifies as windows server 2003. and my laptop still doesn't show network activity from my mobile broadband even though it does identify the device and shows internet connected.
