Get Quick System Stats from the Command Line

6:00AM Adam Pash | Whether you want to find how much bandwidth you’ve used in your current Windows session or you’re the type who loves wearing your system uptime like a badge, you can get a quick look at some interesting system statistics with the net stats command. By firing up your command prompt and typing either net stats svr or net stats workstation, the first thing you’ll see is a “Statistics since…” statement, which tells you how long your system’s been running. Below that you’ll get a look at network stats, like bytes sent and received during your uptime. It’s no fancy bandwidth monitor, but it is a good method to get a couple of quick stats. Got your own favorite methods to check out your system stats? Let’s hear ‘em in the comments. Thanks Alex! More »

Flickr Uploadr 3.0 Released, Pro Accounts See Stats

6:15AM Adam Pash | Two big announcements for Flickr lovers (or is it lovrs?) today: First, previously mentioned Flickr Uploadr 3.0 beta is all grown up and ready for your post-beta consumption. With tonnes of new and improved features like picture re-ordering, the ability to create your sets offline before signing in and uploading, and simultaneous set creation and picture uploading (i.e., you don’t have to wait for uploads to complete before moving onto more pictures), you’ll definitely want to upgrade to 3.0, which is freeware, Windows and Mac OS X only. For real Flickr die-hards rocking a Pro account, Flickr has added one more gem today: Stats. Since Flickr Stats aren’t enabled by default on any account, you’ll want to head to the stats page (linked below) and activate stats for your account. Once you do, you’ll soon be bombarded by graphs and charts displaying your photos’ popularity, how and where people found your pics, and oh so much more… just as soon as Flickr processes your stats, which could take up to a day, according to Flickr. I’m assuming that timeframe depends greatly on the size of your account, because with my personal Flickr account (which doesn’t hold all that many photos) stats took just a few minutes to show up. If you’re a lover of charts, graphs, and Flickr, you’ll likely find a new addiction in Flickr Stats. Flickr Uploadr 3.0 [via Flickr Blog]Flickr Stats [via Flickr Blog] More »
