SoftwareMiser

Welcome to the world of computer energy saving and energy calculation software from JSutils.

OK so the holidays are a distant memory and the hard work starts again. After a break the rate of program updates will start to increase over the next few weeks.

Due to popular demand our priorities have changed slightly to put focus on digitally signing our software to stop the scary ‘Unknown Publisher’ pop up on installation. All programs released from now on will have both the installer and main executable digitally signed using a fully traceable certificate from Comodo. If you access the properties of the installer and executable you will see an extra tab called  Digital Signatures where you can find more details about the certificate

New Programs & Program Updates Coming Soon

AllOff Version Lite 2.3 - Coming Aug 2009
This update to this simple activity detector and shutdown utility digitally signs the installer and executable. AllOff Lite monitors the mouse, keyboard and CPU load and initiates computer power off if there has been no keyboard or mouse activity for 900 seconds and the average CPU load has been below 15% for over 60 seconds. Designed to be simple to install and use AllOff Lite requires no configuration apart from selecting whether cpu and/or key and mouse control is required during installation. AllOff Lite is suitable for most applications. It can be started via the Windows Task Scheduler, on start up or manually.

AllOff  Version 3.2 - Coming Aug 2009
This update to this simple activity detector and shutdown utility digitally signs the installer and executable. AllOff monitors the mouse, keyboard and CPU load and initiates computer shutdown if there has been no keyboard or mouse activity and the average CPU load has been below the threshold set for the specified time. AllOff supports all the normal shut down modes. It can also be used to control a remote computer. Uses of AllOff include unattended backup (shutting down the computer when the backup has completed) and shutting down a computer if the user forgets. It can be started at a fixed time, on start up or manually.

EnCalcGU Version 2.0 - Coming Aug/Sept 2009
A major update to this gas use and cost calculator to add various forms of discount methods to fit more of the charging models used by gas companies. If you want to check or predict your gas bill then EnCalcGU is for you. Planned for July holidays, delays in testing and other priorities have put this update back. In addition the installer and executable will be digitally signed.

It is also likely at least one other program will be digitally signed  during this month.

Programs Released Over The Last Month Or So

EnCalcE Version 4.2 Released 29-July-2009
Apart from fixing a few small bugs this update adds the ability to archive results files. It all fixes a bug where currency symbols didn’t update properly. See history for further details. EnCalcE calculates the cost of purchasing and running electrical appliances, allowing 2 alternative items to be compared under the same running conditions. The results can be saved to a log file for later analysis. Variables such as life, purchase cost and power (including standby power) can be independently varied for the 2 items for specified payback times, hours of use and electricity cost to work out the true total cost of items including inflation and the amount of CO2 saved.

EnCalcL Version 3.2 Released 22-July-2009
Apart from fixing a few small bugs this update adds the ability to archive results files. See history for further details. EnCalcL calculates the cost of purchasing and running water using appliances, allowing two alternative items to be compared under the same conditions or the true cost of one item to be worked out simply. The results can be saved to a log file for later analysis. Variables such as water use, number of uses per day and investment cost can be independently varied for 2 items for specified payback times and water cost to work out the true total cost of items.
