JSutils News 0911 Nov
Welcome to the world of computer energy saving and energy calculation software from JSutils.
Over the next two months we are going to give priority to proving support for Windows 7 for all our programs which may or may not include updates to ensure this support. This does mean there will only be limited program enhancements during this period.
We are looking for more new ideas to enhance our programs or for new programs related to energy saving - if you have a great idea then feel free to suggest it.
New Programs & Program Updates Coming Soon
AllOff Version 3.3 - Coming December 2009
The update to this shutdown utility includes the addition of two way communications with the slave installation plus a number of other changes. 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. Originally planned for October this release has been delayed due to problems found during testing and to ensure Windows 7 support
Programs Released Over The Last Month Or So
EnCalcE Version 4.3 - Released 7th October 2009
The update to this electricity use calculator digitally signs the installer and executable and updates help. 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.
EnCalcOU Version 1.4 - Released 14th October 2009
Includes results log archive feature plus a number of other changes and bug fixes. EnCalcOU calculates the cost of oil, allowing both the real cost based on tank 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 shaped tanks, work in volume or depth of oil, varying tax rates plus fixed charges enabling most charging models to be handled. It will also calculate the amount of CO2 generated and predict when the tanks next need filling.
AllOff Lite Version 2.4 - Released 28th October-2009
Minor update to improve error detection if the data directory is missing and update help. 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.
