Great stuff Mr Tome – Top editing.

“You’re more Woz than Jobs”

Great stuff – haha. Woz is a legend.

Please follow the install instructions on the following blog – I have written scripts, included a sample configuration and written a init script.

Compile Script (Place in parent dir to source code):

#!/bin/bash

DIR=istatd-
VER=0.5.7

ACLOCAL110=aclocal-1.10
export ACLOCAL110
AUTOMAKE110=automake-1.10
export AUTOMAKE110
AUTOCONF26=autoconf
export AUTOCONF26
AUTOHEADER26=autoheader
export AUTOHEADER26
LIBTOOLIZE15=libtoolize
export LIBTOOLIZE15

cd ${DIR}${VER}
pwd
./configure
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
        echo "ERROR with configure"
fi

make

echo "--> Finished compiling ..."

pfexec useradd istat
pfexec groupadd istat

if [ ! -d /var/cache/istat ]; then
       mkdir /var/cache/istat
fi
pfexec chown istat:istat /var/cache/istat

echo "--> Finished ..."

Sample Config:

#
# /etc/istat.conf: Configuration for iStat server

# network_addr           127.0.0.1
network_port           5901

# server_socket          /tmp/istatd.sock
server_pid             /var/run/istat/istatd.pid
cache_dir              /var/cache/istat

# Note: Only support for one network interface, limited by client.
monitor_net              ( bge0 )

# Array of disks to monitor. Specify mount path or device name.
monitor_disk             ( / /home )

# Set to 1 if you want to use mount path as label instead of the device name.
disk_mount_path_label    0

# Try to probe the filesystem for disk label, will override the mount path label.
disk_filesystem_label    1

# Set custom disk label. Will override all other labels.
# disk_rename_label        /dev/sda1  "root"
# disk_rename_label        /home      "home"

# End of file

Init Script:

#!/bin/bash

# Basic support for chkconfig

If someone has written a SMF service I would love to take it from you

If you have any questions – feel free to ask …

So I did some benchmarking …

Nvidia 9800gt 3d Mark Score

Nvidia 280tgtx 3d Mark Score

So we can see a small increase there, especially on the raw GPU score …

And apparently my Windows experience is now better !

Windows with a 9800gt

Windows with a 280gtx

So, time for me to get Steam again and come back to some online gaming … Let me know what I should be playing

Good to see the kit was well used for quality videos like:

Remember that your iPhone is basically a small computer, it runs an operating system just like Windows XP or Mac OS X. And just like those systems, there are background tasks running that may slow down the performance of your iPhone. So in order to speed up your iPhone, you should properly quit the applications that you are not using.

Important note (common misconception):

When you press the ‘Home’ button on the front of the iPod Touch, you are not quitting the application. You are simply closing it, but the application is still open and running in the background.

Suppose you open a game that you downloaded or an application on your iPhone that constantly updates via the internet. But you don’t use that application often. Then it is smart to quit those applications so it is not hogging the bandwidth (speed) of your iPhone in the background.

So, in order to properly quit these applications on iPhone 3G or 3Gs, perform the following steps:

1. Open the application that you wish to quit by pressing its button on the home screen.
2. Once the app opens, hold the power button (on the top of the iPhone) until the ‘Slide to Power Off’ with a red button shows up.
3. Then let go of the power button and press and hold the ‘Home’ button on the front-bottom of the iPhone.
4. When the interface returns to the home screen, you have successfully quit the application.

Perform steps 1-4 on any applications that you don’t use often. This will speed up the performance of your iPhone.

Bonus: Clear the cache of your Safari browser regularly by doing the following:

Home Screen > Settings > Safari > Clear Cache

This will help speed up the performance of Safari when surfing the web.
