Probably doing more messing around than I should be, but I think I’m finally done. My main goal is no more Microsoft Windows! We have a laptop which I will use to do my checkbook and any other mundane tasks, but everything else I want to do on this new machine. When I was looking for software to install to make the machine feel more slick, I happened upon Screenlets.org. I don’t think I’m a big fan of the implementation, but they do look pretty cool! All of the screenlets are written in python, and creates a 10 to 20 meg python process. When I first started playing with the tool, I think I chewed up about 70% of my memory! I have sence upgraded to 4Gig of 1066 OCZ Reaper memory, so I’m not going to worry about a few python processes! There are a boat load of widgets, but I am only using a few to monitor the behavior of my new machine.
