About:
The Bubbling Load Monitor (or "Bubblemon" for short) is a system load monitor for the GNOME panel. It looks like a vial containing water. The water level indicates how much (electronic) memory is in use. The color of the liquid indicates how much swap space is used. The amount of bubbles reflects the system CPU load. A message in a bottle indicates there is unread mail. A reed-like graph shows network load. On multi-core systems the CPU with the highest load will bubble in the middle, and the others on the sides, so it's possible to see how well load gets distributed between CPUs.

Release focus: Minor bugfixes

Changes:
A crash when network cards are removed during runtime has been fixed. An intermittent crash has been fixed. A Catalan translation has been added.

If anybody is interested in making their own bubbling monitors for whatever reason / whatever platform, I've librarified the physics and rendering engine and turned it into a library:

Have fun! //Johan

If you like my applet, you may (or may not) be interested in LavaPS (a lava lamp showing system load) or BubbleMon-dockapp, a derivative of my applet with some added features for Windowmaker.

Have fun! //Johan

I love this application. I switched to HelixGnome from KDE a few days ago and this little applet alone makes me glad I did.

Great concept, well executed.

One of those programs that makes you think 'I wish I'd written that!'.
