Well I’m back at the university continuing my study. I’m particulary looking forward to my Psychology and Operating Systems courses. Let’s see how it goes.

On the other hand I installed kernel 2.6.27 on my machine and along with it the hdaps patch. Unfortunately the hdaps monitoring applet I used before no longer works because of the missing sysfs interface. Not a problem really since I just wrote a very basic script that notifies me of disk freezes using DBus notifications. It depends on ruby (obviously) and ruby-dbus. Edit the file to use your own icon and check interval.

You can of course have the icon I gimped using the gnome-laptop icon from the gnome wise icon theme by perfektska.

I will also right after finishing this blog update my gentoo forum post to represent the current status regarding hdaps and linux.
