Owen, 

 

“Civilian,” it is.  How could I forget!  Dede is of course, right, in this, as 
in all matters.  Still, I would rather be a “civilian” than a “noob”.  Gosh.  
What IS a noob? 

 

I am of the view that we are all civilians with respect to any software that we 
did not use yesterday, or perhaps the day before.  Each of us has SOME LITTLE 
THING to teach each of the others, about technology.   I, for instance, know 
about Elevated Mixed Layers.  

 

Take care, my friend. 

 

Nick

Civilian. And Dede convinced me to no longer use the term. It was a Silly Vally 
way to describe a noob. Or worse! :)

Thanks, Joe, 

 

Yes.  HP Win7 PC, for my sins. 

 

There are a couple of things that may do it … Glasswire being the most 
promising.  

 

Being what Owen calls a “citizen”, I am very slow to download exe’s on spec.  
Until I get desperate. I don’t like to be the first penguin off the floe.

Nick,

I assume you use a Windows system ? On a Mac you can look at the System Monitor 
to get information which seems to be what you are looking for.  Perhaps others 
here can suggest a similar program on a Windows system.

Hi, Sarbajit, 

 

Thanks for the tip.  I studied on it for a bit and think it isn’t designed to 
do what I most need to have done.  It would tell me if my problem is, say, HP 
updates, or Firefox websites.  But, unless I am wrong, it won’t tell me which 
of the websites I am contacting is doing the dirty.  For instance, I spend a 
lot of time looking at animated radar displays?  They are only ten frames long, 
and don’t seem very “verbose”, how can I tell for sure..  Perhaps by logging my 
activities by hand and then using the time logging feature of Neworx I might 
figure it out.    Ideally, the program I am looking for would give me the 
amount of data used up for each website contacted.  Given the rarity of the 
problem, the software probably doesn’t exist.  

 

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.  I will explore it more closely tomorrow. 

 

Nick

Hi, 

 

You will recall that when I am in Massachusetts, I get all of my internet over 
a Verizon hotspot.  It a bit like eating lunch with a shark.  Every once in 
while you find out that you’re missing part of your arm.   So, I have been 
looking around on the web for an app which will tell me which one of my 
activities … podcasts, websites, upgrades, updates, etc. … is using up data.   
Now, I figure, being pros, most of you, you all live in places that have 
unmetered broad band.  So I don’t expect many of you to share my problem.  But 
perhaps one of you has?  There are several apps that seem perhaps to be 
relevant.  One is “Glasswire”.  Is anybody familiar with it?  

 

I hope you are all summering well.
