I Have Google Buzz Now, Apparently

So…yeah, I guess I’m on Google Buzz. It’s linked to my Picasa and Wordpress accounts, so you can follow everything I do. Cause that’s not creepy or anything. The best part is that the defaults for everything are public, and you end up broadcasting to a bunch of random people unless you sit down and sort through. I’m expecting this to backfire for a bunch of people, and not just eventually but almost immediately. It might not be a bad idea to start a betting pool on when the first child porn charges are filed as some highschool student accidentally sends herself to the entire school.

More SlimTune UI

Still working on the details, but here are some new teaser shots. [Update] Slightly newer version of the visualizer: The best part of the current iteration? NO DAMN REFRESH BUTTON! The graph redraws itself, and the counter list updates itself. No user interaction required.

New SlimTune UI Teaser

Here’s a quick teaser of the new UI: The window hosting the visualizer is missing all of its widgets, but will eventually have a variety of controls along the edges. The revised main SlimTune window is essentially complete. This window is always open as long as SlimTune is running, and maintains a list of the connections that are active. One window, one connection, and closing one closes the other. It’s much easier to keep track of things this way, and the individual windows can be hidden away to reduce clutter if desired.

SlimTune and Services

I’ve now added service and ASP.NET profiling support to SlimTune. Services seem to work, although I’ve tested it pretty minimally. ASP.NET should work but I’m really not set up to test it properly. I might attempt a VM based test later, because I’m not really sure what sort of status IIS is on my main machine and I don’t really want to find out. Still, ASP.NET is little more than a special case of the service profiling.

SQLite Support in SlimTune

I’ve mentioned before that most of SlimTune’s core functionality is pluggable. This actually includes the underlying data storage system. The app works through a fairly simple interface, and even SQL is only used by the visualizers and not the core program. To date, the engine in use was Microsoft’s SQL Server Compact Edition (SQLCE). With the next release, I’m introducing support for SQLite as well.
