JSutils News 0807 Oct
Welcome to the world of computer energy saving and energy calculation software from JSutils.
New Programs & Program Updates Coming Soon
EnCalcOU Version 1.0 - Coming November/December 2008
A calculator to take the hard work out of working out oil use and cost for central heating systems. This program has been put back a month because the initial version failed beta testing for a couple of fundamental problems, also we underestimated the complexity of the calculations involved, especially when dealing with non rectangualr oil tanks.. All is now back on track
EnCalcL Version 3.0 - Coming November 2008
Adds the ability to deal with inflation and discounts including rate capped charging methods to this water use comparison calculator.
AllOff Lite 3.0 - Coming December 2008/January 2009
This stripped down keyboard, mouse and keyboard shutdown untility gains the ability to have all the functionality of keyoff and cpuoff, eventually replacing them completely.
We are looking for ideas for new energy reducing software so feel free to contribute you ideas and wishes. If you have an idea for a new feature for an existing program then let us know.
Releases Over The Past Month Or So
EnCalcL Version 1.4 - Released 22-October-2007
Fixed a bug where where VAT/Tax truncated. Fixed a bug where results headers referred to VAT with non EU currencies. Other minor bug fixes and changes. See history for details. EnCalcLU calculates the cost of water use, allowing both the real cost based on meter readings and forward prediction based on the readings and elapsed time to be calculated. The results can be saved to a log file for later analysis. The program can cope with both water and sewage volume charges, varying tax rates plus fixed charges enabling most charging models to be handled.
KeyOff Lite Version 2.2 - Released 15-October-2008
Minor update to include Registration FAQ, add FAQ for Vista User Account Control and correct various odd errors in help. KeyOff Lite monitors the keyboard and mouse and initiates computer power off after there has been no activity for more than 15 minutes. The program activates 2 seconds after starting and powers off 1 minute after power off is initiated unless power off is cancelled.
08-October-2008
EnCalcE Version 4.0 Released 08-October-2008
Adds the ability to allow for inflation and fixes a number of minor bugs. See history for details. EnCalcE calculates the cost of purchasing and running electrical appliances, allowing 2 alternative items to be compared under the same running conditions, this includes the difference in CO2 generation and allows for annual inflation. The results can be saved to a log file for later analysis.
01-October-2008
EnCalcEU Version 3.3 - Released 01-October-2008
Fixed a bug where data could be truncated in the log file. Plus a number of other minor bug fixes. See history for details. EnCalcEU calculates the cost of electricity, allowing both the real cost based on meter readings and forward prediction based on the readings and elapsed time. The results can be saved to a log file for later analysis. The program can cope with different charging rates for electricity at different times of the day, alternative rates based on a preset threshold, varying tax rates plus fixed charges enabling most charging models to be handled. It will also calculate the amount of CO2 generated.
CPUOff Lite Version 2.3 - Released 24-September-2008
This very minor update is to the program help to cure a number of odd errors and add to the FAQ. See history for details. CPUOff Lite monitors the CPU load and initiates computer power off after the average CPU load has been below 15% for more than 60 seconds. The program activates 2 seconds after starting and shuts down 60 seconds after power off is initiated unless power off is cancelled. CPUOff Lite is part of the JSutils group of software utilities which have a theme of energy conservation.
