A simple matter of…

For the past few months I’ve been assisting a friend (hi Mat!) who has been working at a young startup company in America. The company is called Miserware and they have some neat software which uses various techniques (including the usual Speedstep etc) in order to reduce the power consumption of your computer. Yes, it even tells you how much.

They are now in a beta program - if you’d like to try it out (Linux only), please just drop me an email (they are _so_ organised there is even a little referral competition going on).

Whilst I can’t reveal any juicy details for you, I can say it’s been a real delight working with the guys at Miserware. Always friendly, prompt, accurate and helpful debugging when we’ve hit issues (one particular issue which proved difficult to track down became known as “The Adrian problem”). I’ve really enjoyed watching things develop - it makes a real difference when even little suggestions for improvement are made. It really encourages you to send back even more feedback or ideas. They’ve clearly got a real pride in their work and their product. Everything is done “right” - the packaging, the manpages, init scripts etc. Kudos!
