Talking iPulse, cool!

Hey I just downloaded this neat application for monitoring system usage, and it's displayed in a really cool composite circular gague.

Measures network usage (up/down), page swapping, cpu, disk, and ram usage. Fully customizable, and even updates its dock icon realtime.

It doesn't use too much processing power either (3.8% - 7% peak) with a transparent window and all the gauges (text on 4 of them) updated every second.

You can also have it superimpose a clock, which is kinda neat but a total frill.

I'm using it currently, but I'll probably not pay for it.

I'm waiting for Konfabulator. THAT will be an app to pay for.

iPulse looks really great. Just like CandyBar was in its own domain.

The Iconfactory may have lost some speed in icon-production, the software they release besides is worth it.

iPulse is very good.

I don't understand what is Kon Fabulator

Yah I wouldn't pay for iPulse either, but it's useful to have.

Maybe if I was a sysadmin and I was monitoring a server or something, but then, there are other, better ways of doing that with OS X Server.

Still cool for a client though!
