From the README:
|
|
Lavaps is an interactive process-tracking program like ``top'',
|
|
but with a much different attitude. Rather than presenting lots of
|
|
specific info in digital form, it tries to present certain important
|
|
information in a graphical analog form. The idea is that you can
|
|
run it in the background and get a rough idea of what's happening
|
|
to your system without devoting much concentration to the task.
|
|
|
|
Lavaps was inspired by Mark Weiser's idea of calm computing in
|
|
this paper:
|
|
|
|
``The Coming Age of Calm Technology'' by Mark Weiser
|
|
and John Seely Brown. A revised version of Weiser &
|
|
Brown. ``Designing Calm Technology'', PowerGrid Journal, v 1.01,
|
|
http://powergrid.electriciti.com/1.01 (July 1996). October,
|
|
1996. http://www.ubiq.com/hypertext/weiser/acmfuture2endnote.htm.
|
|
(This program dedicated to the memory of M.W.--I hope you would have
|
|
thought it a good hack.)
