Drive me crazy

Another new plugin, LH_DriveStats, is now available. This plugin allows LCDHost to display several bits of data about your local drives, such as Free/Used/Total space and the number of reads/writes per second. It even sports a new pie chart object for the disk space. No pics for this one as I’m not artistic enough to make disk drives statistics look sexy.

(Team) Speak up!

Yes, with A21 comes TeamSpeak 3 integration. Due to the impact of a certain baby (naming no names – he knows who he is… well ok, he doesn’t as his sense of self won’t have developed yet), SirReal and I weren’t able coordinate this release as well as we usually do so you’ll have to download it seperately and add it to your plugins folder by hand. There’s also an updated Eos that reacts to launching TS3 by hiding the 5-day weather and big clock and looking like this.

LH_TS3 features:

  • Show your connection status
  • Show the names of who is talking
  • Show your speaker and microphone mute  states
  • Show your connected username
  • Show your connected channel
  • A few other neat tricks…
