..Process monitor as lava lamp
Calm technology for Linux system management
John Heidemann has written an eye-opening little app called LavaPS
[38], claiming inspiration from Mark Weiser and John Seely Brown's
"calm technology" meme [39]. LavaPS offers a restful, nonintrusive
way to monitor what's happening on your Linux or FreeBSD system.
Important attributes of system processes are mapped to the size,
speed, color, and luminence of dynamic blobs in a window: bigger
blobs are using more memory, faster blobs are consuming more CPU
cycles, etc. Who needs a virtual aquarium?
