I think your right there Philly, the URL function in sysmetrix doesn't seem to do anything.  You can delete it or put something different and it does the same thing.  Tried leaving the Mtetarcode field blank and doing a direct point in the URL for my weather, didn't work still get the Parse error.  Oh well time to come up with a different gadget for the weather.

Ok I gave up, looks like Sysmetrix is dead.  It was good while it lasted.  I switched to Rainmeter, took about a day and half to recreate my skin I had in Sysmetrix, but it works better then the SYS and Rainmeter seems to be much more powerful meter program.  Sure it is scripted not object oriented like sysmetrix.  I have been using DesktopX for about five years now, the old LCARS Star Trek theme.  I love Star Trek..lol...also love that nobody know how to do anything on my computer , but me...hehehehe, but DX is a little slow and hard to setup any system info, so I had made a sysmetrix skin to acompany my dx theme the long skinny part at the bottom was what I had to recreate, tons of info being displayed including cpu temps, fan speeds, the comm link is functional, any activity on the network including internet changes to Comm Link Activity instead of Comm Link Status, and shows the I/O activity on the right.  So if your on the fence about Sysmetrix, my advise, go ahead and switch Rainmeters great, steep learning curve, but worth it.

He did not say if he is going to post a public link on the main page, but I would assume he will.   The new version is v.3.42.  the new version corrects the parse error and also gives the alternate source as weather.com for weather information.

Thanks Mr. Decker

Went and got the update and now all is working fine with the weather function.

Hi Guys,

Sorry about all of the weather problems.  Originally my code was looking for the year in the METAR report using '200x', so obviously that stopped working when the year rolled over to 2010.  I fixed that and put up a 3.42 version, but unfortunately included an executable that had some of the new weather.com functionality in there that wasn't complete yet.  So I replaced it with a 3.43 version that *should* be just like the 3.41 version except for the part about making the METAR weather working.

Thanks again for all of your patience and I apologize for the mistake(s)!

No need to apologize for anything

That's us who thank you to have corrected all buggies

If you have not installed 3.42 you can install 3.43 over (well, if you installed 3.42 also, but it keeps two files relative to weather.com, that they have no more reasons to be there)

3.43 is just like 3.41 but working back with new http://weather.noaa.gov/ necessities

Yes, I using it with Win 7.  The only thing that still need updating is the system information function from what I can see.

Thanks neophil78,

I love the SysMetrix and have been using Nicks invention for 9 or 10 years.  I am never without it.  I especially like the latest that had the cpu's running in the system tray, just a glance to see why your computer is slowing up.  Easy to operate, the skinners usually have everything coded right in.  I want to thank pinchecl for helping me change the time from European or Army time to USA time.  He and you make some of the best SysMetrix's out there and I have every one.  Actually broke it once because I had too many loaded.  Figuring out how to make the buttons work was easy, for someone who is a dummy and self taught.  Everyone should try it.  Unless you know how to code and want to try Samurize or Rainmeter.  This would be the program for you.  I hope Nick comes back and keeps working on it.  But I guess life goes one for some of us.  Thanks again Nick for this wonderful program and thanks to everyone who gives us those not so little tips on how to use them.

Hi C242 - it's been a long time!

I finally got a Windows 7 machine and fixed the TCP/IP stats that were broken on Vista/Windows 7.  I also noticed problems with > 2GB of memory, so fixed that as well.  Can you give me more information on what's not working with the CPU?  Is it completely broken, or is it just that it can't report on multiple cores?  Also, are you running a 64-bit OS?  Anything else that I can use to track it down would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Nick

Nick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great to see you here in the land of the living....and Sysmetrix too.

Computers kinda advanced a bit since your wee holiday....8 cores...way more than 2gig of ram [12 here] ...Windows 7 .... 64bit architecture....

I had to dump my 'meters' for ram and CPU use...they weren't playing nice.

If you can drag Sysmetrix screaming into the third Millennium there's a whole bunch of people who will be eternally grateful....

PM me your home addy and I'll mail you a donation....
