About Error Goblin

I very often I get a error code which leaves me totally flummoxed about what has gone wrong. One way to deal with this is to start looking up the error code on Google and get links to some KB article on a Microsoft Support website.
Sometimes there is no real need for this entire process and you might not be connected to the internet. This is where I feel Error Goblin can be quite handy.
As you can see in the image above I had checked out what Error code 0xe2 meant. It correctly shows that the file contains a virus and cannot be opened.

The other great feature of this website is I can download the error code descriptions locally just in case when I am searching for a error code and do not have access to the internet. If you liked reading this post you might also be interesting in reading about an application to repair and fix Windows automatically.

Do you use Windows and would you feel this website could help you troubleshoot your way out of error codes? Do let us know through your comments.

Monitor energy consumed for computers using Joulemeter

Posted: 06 Jun 2010 10:09 PM PDT

Joulemeter is a new application from Microsoft to monitor the consumption of power in computers. This application was released by Microsoft on 19 May 2010 and is currently in alpha-test state.

About Joulemeter

joule thumb Monitor energy consumed for computers using Joulemeter

Joulemeter is designed to track the power and total energy consumption of running computers. This light-weight application will always reside in your memory, even if not started manually.
The statistics reports the power being consumed, average power, the total energy consumed and the total volume of CO2 released. The interface is so simple and neat. More developments can be expected in the stable version.

The statistics provides details about base power for running PC, power consumed for CPU, hard disk and monitor.
The uncalibrated model only gives the approximate statistics. For getting accurate measurements, calibration is necessary. But as far as I am concerned, the calibration always failed in all three attempts made. This may be due to some bug which is hoped to be fixed in the stable version.

The approximate statistics of power being consumed is calculated in watts (W) and the total energy consumed in calculated in kilowatt-hours (kWh). 1 kWh is commonly referred as 1 unit of energy. It is the same unit as read on the energy meters at home. As you can see in the screen-shot, using my laptop for 48 hours cost me about 1 unit of energy. Read more on calculation of energy consumption at labnol.org.

Joulemeter is handy and consumes very less memory. It gives the basic idea of power consumption in computers. A few and old energy saving tips can be found here.

Hope this application would help you estimate the cost of running the computer. Do share your views on Joulemeter here.
