Mondesi
Mark Daniel – the author of the WASD webserver and the SoyMail web-based VMS-MAIL agent – has released a new tool for system monitoring, named Mondesi. It offers you an almost real-time view of the load on different resources in the system.
I installed it under the Homedesk page but had trouble getting it to work. But today I found the reason: The mapping of the directories used by the image was never reached: the BASIC.CONF file – included in the homedesk configuration file – contains a mapping of “/*/-/*”, and “/mondesi/-/*” matches. Of course, the files searched for will never be found there. So I placed this mapping in front of the inclusion of basic.conf. And now it works fine:

Not satisfied? Check it live.
This package can also be used if you use SWS (Apache) or OSU, how to set things up is described. I didn’t try these, though.
Tracks added
It took some time to get it finished, but the first two walks taken around Nijmegen have been published. Partly, at least: just the images, because I didn’t have the trackdata at hand. But to get it that far, I needed to install a new version of SnagIt and Jalbum on the laptop…Both free (that is: I have a license for SnagIt, which is shareware, but Jalbum is free. Completely).
New PHP imminent?
I still need to check out the WP trouble with PCRE without UTF. But is seems a new PHP version is imminent, accoring the WASD mailing list. Wait until that one is out – must be within a few weeks (around Christmas?). That would fit the remark in last year’s bootcamp.
