"Console"ation...

Okay, maybe I'm weird, but I get fascinated and enthralled watching the pproxy console. There is just something so cool and soothing about watching the communications from all over the country and the world as people fetch and flush.

I can sit and stare at it at length, and then suddenly realize that I should get off my butt and get some real work done.🙂

Any of you other pproxy operators get a kick out of watching, or am I completely looney?:Q

<< or am I completely looney >>


Flame-bait! 😉


I sit and watch my little pproxy... I even run thr cron jobs 4 times an hour.
No... I'm not hooked.
 
well, i dont run my own proxy, but i have worked on many webservers, the coolest had to be this Customer research project i did for Daimler-Chrysler, in which they had a nice live stats viewer, me and the NT admin used to sit there and watch people log in and browse around from all over the world, sometimes it got too much to look at once the hits got to more than 5 million a day.
 
I had The Magicman flushing Gamma Flux to my proxy for a day or so last year.

That was a sight to behold.

I don't know about you, but I enjoy watching paint dry. I imagine that the wet paint is a big freshwater lake that is the only source of water for some tiny cities by the lake. As the lake gets drier, the population gets more desperate, and sometimes there are water riots. Once there was a big fire and everyone died.

(That's from a list I have of responses from Elementary and Junior High School students who were asked to make up 'thoughts' like the ones related by Jack Handey on Saturday Night Live... 🙂)

After reading that post from Russ, I wonder if he didn't participate in this survey and sign his name as Jessica.. 😉
 
Here here Adul. I'd probably end up like Russ watching my Pproxy all day if I DIDN'T have it installed as a service. 🙂
 
Oh, the good old days. Yes, I installed the pproxy as a service, but I would normally stop the service, then restart it as a foreground app just because it was entertaining to watch all the little cows check in. When I had 200+ computers crunching, and they were set to only buffer 10 work units, that meant I saw most computers check in twice per day.

I left it installed as a service so that, if I rebooted, I could never forget to start the pproxy or client. Like Russ, I'm easily entertained.
 
OK, it's good to know I'm not the only lunatic here in the asylum... 😉

I also have the ppstats set to run every 5 minutes, just so I can see the stats as up to date as possible even when I'm not at the proxy server machine!

PS And I could quit any time I wanted. I just don't WANT to!
 
LOL Russ!

Oooh, look at the purty stats! 😉😉


Hehe, I have my work perproxy running as a service, but I set up one of the stats proggies, and I have a VNC shortcut on my PC so I can pop in frequently and watch the blocks come in (as well as check on the herd to see what user is over-using their system or turned it off for the night :Q), and during the day I usually have it minimized so I'm just one click away from my stats. 😀

I have to be careful or I can easily get into messing with the herd/perproxy/ etc. instead of doing what they pay me to do. :Q




I'm not addicted, I can quit any time. I quit 5 times yesterday alone! 😉
 
hehe I have mine running as a service, so I'll just look at the console.log file every now and then, it's not a &quot;exciting&quot; so I'm not as distracted. 😀

Now, on the other hand, I do check my stats generator page at least once an hour when I have the time, or I'm sitting down taking a break. 😉
 
Kilowatt,

That's some damned cool stats software. Where can I get some of that action for my inside pproxy?

Russ,
It's listed on Dnet's third party apps for client and pproxy add-ons called FredZeGreat's AnalyzR.

FredZeGreat's AnalyzR homepage

I'm having trouble getting to his site to link it for you right now, but I have the zip file and could send you my ini &amp; translated text, to help you figure it out if your interested.

It's strictly for NT, which is what's running my network &amp; dnet pproxy.
The directions are in French, but if I could figure it out, any one can.
(I did use a translator site for some of the hard stuff 😀)

 


<< ...no NT around here >>

You don't sell systems with W2K? <<Bootleg yourself a copy.....>> Wait a minute, am I talking out loud? :Q

<< ...I was hoping it was ported for Linux >>

As soon as I can get Klinux-v.4 out of the way, I'll get right on it. 😎
