iStat Pro widget

So… iStat Pro used to be THE widget for macs. Sadly the devs have completely abandoned it. They have iStat Menus but… my menu bar is OVERFLOWING already. Plus, at 16 bucks its priced rather steep… biggest issue for me is that i want a widget, not yet another menu bar item… 

Well its not like there's major problems with the widget once you update to Mountain Lion. The only thing that broke for me is the processes not showing anymore… while trying to install that thing on my dad's machine i found guys in macrumor forums with fixes and all, and so i edit my widget… and bingo! Everything works for me now!

I uploaded the updated widget in the forum and on my MF account. Credits to the original creators bjango and all the guys at macforums for providing the fixes. 

No more blank processes bar, hurrah! 

 

Edit: my MF account got closed so I've re-uploaded the file to Mega. Went back to check the thread, someone' uploaded a version of iStat Nano with all the stuff fixed too. Really surprised by all the replies to my post, didn’t think I'd see so many people thanking me for uploading the 'fixed' widget.

You know its time when...

You know its time to sharpen the knife when the knife slips when you try and cut eggplants, lands on your finger with a HUGE force, and all you got was a barely noticeable nick…i  didn’t even notice the 'cut' till hours later o.o

Recently… i've taken a liking to buying lip balm. Somehow have a really soft spot for all the nice and weird flavours...

Without even realising it i've gotten so many tubes of lip balm already :X bleah :X

Here's some random photos since i had a pretty background to take pics with...

The exercise made me wish digicams were on iCloud though. I took out and put in the memory card like 5 times in an hour lol…!

Thank you for using background images. As we build a more streamlined Google Search page for everyone, we’ll no longer be able to support customization with background images. So you will no longer be able to see your background pictures starting November 16, 2012.
Click Remove to stop using a background image now. Your current background image and Picasa web albums will still be available to you.

Sigh. Just when i was thinking of changing the background image that i put together sometime back…

i was still debating whether to put the kagi heya enomoto pic that i've been trying to put somewhere in my comp ><

Oh wells… in other news… my desktop picture needs a change too...

Its currently a nice patterned background… BUT with a huge list of the 20 amino acids stuck in it for quick reference during my FYP (which is long over).

Yeah… a very cluttered desktop that I'm not done with clearing yet… and i've not gotten around to look into the issue of the missing weather pic with the geek tools widget too… *goes off to re-arrange some files so that the date and time is not blocked.*

Me thinks the iTunes geek tool widget thingy has stopped working too… its been showing eyes with delight since like forever even though i've been listening to other songs… bleah :( The upgrade to ML broke quite a lot of things… I'm still wondering if its possible to change my dock like i could last time… pfttttt! 

My favourite pencil...

So I got bored and tried doing some drawing...

Not too shabby i guess?

Do you have a favourite (mechanical) pencil?

I do… and its this rather old pilot shaker.

 

Been using it since… Was it sec sch or JC? Either way I'm sure i've been using it for at least 5 or 6 years. So it was of no surprise when i dug it out today to find the metal clip getting rusty :(. After all its 1) old. 2) been neglected for quite a long time (since I'm using my comp like all the time and not writing ANYTHING).

What do you do with a rusty metal clip? You varnish it. and it just so happened that i have this bottle of pink nail polish with plenty of glitter in it that I bought like a year ago for some art project that i never got started on… so...

Tada! glittery metal clip. Lousy finish (shows my inexperience with applying fingernail polish) but it still beats that rusted medal feel any day...
