Gettin' Off Me Lazy Arse

I finally figured that I should put this up here. After all, stuff like this was the original reason I was putting up this website. Well, that and having a place to post pictures to that I could link to remotely.

So, here it is then. The first official release of my client for the uptimes project (which is really just a highly modified version of version 1.0 of Alejandro Gramajo's Uptimes-Chaos, but I digress.)

Anyways, I've been messing with it off and on for what's probably close to a year now, and here it is: Chaos-Control 0.1alpha*

(Yes, alpha. I haven't had a chance to test some of the stuff on it.)

What does it support? Well, right now only Linux since I need other test boxes to try out other clients. Solaris and GNU/Hurd support are in the works (as I do have access to those.)

It also supports multiple uptimes servers via the conf file (of course, the only other uptimes project I know of went down, so not that that's really important anymore…) as well as 'long' CPU info on Linux machines, something which Uptimes-Chaos didn't support when I started modifying it. (And which it might still not support. I haven't looked at his code since I first got it.)

Well, that's probably the most disorganised release ever, and I think it's normal to hype the program a bit more, but it's there. I should do up a page for these type of things someday.

Side note: It's known to work fine on x86, SPARC, PPC, and m68k CPUs. Anything else may or may not work correctly.
