Psensor, reordering of the sensors list

It is now possible to change the position of each sensor: open the menu ‘Sensor Preferences’ and edit the list by using drag and drop.

This feature is not released yet but you can give a try by compiling the source code from the SVN trunk.

Ubuntu users can use the Psensor daily PPA to use the last development version. The reordering feature should be in the PPA tomorrow.

Psensor v0.7.0.5

Psensor version 0.7.0.5 has been released.

This release only contains one fix about the display of the CPU load when the fahrenheit temperature is enabled

The source archive can be downloaded at: http://wpitchoune.net/psensor/files/psensor-0.7.0.5.tar.gz.

It is recommended to upgrade to this release, it is now the last stable one.

I have started working on the next major release (0.8.x). It will introduce a rewrite of the sensors table in order to be able to hide each sensor and change the order of the sensors.

 

ptask: a graphical user interface for taskwarrior

Few months ago, I have written a graphical user interface for Taskwarrior, a command line tasks manager.

It is highly inspirated by taskhelm which is a lot more mature, and have more features.The inconvient of taskhelm which drives me to write quickly another interface is the popup window for viewing or editing notes.

The source code is available at http://wpitchoune.net/svnpub/ptask/ and should compile fine on any modern Linux distribution. It requires the GTK+ and JSON-C libraries. You must also install taskwarrior.

Source tarballs are available at: http://wpitchoune.net/ptask/files.

As ptask is quite young, you should do a backup of the taskwarrior data before trying it.

For Ubuntu Quantal you can install it from a dedicated PPA:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jfi/ptask
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ptask
