With the recent discussions of the Be liquidation sale,
I was wracking
my brain for the project/website of an *analog* CPU load meter. Someone
out there wrote a Linux driver to spit out CPU load on the parallel
port, to which is attached a simple ladder-type D-to-A and an analog
panel meter for CPU load.
That's just so delightfully twisted.
On a tangent, I wondered if anyone made "repeater" cables
with a sensor on one end, and an LED on the other. Like
a fiber pipe, it would let you watch an LED that's actually
located on the back of your computer, or on a distant device.
