None of these are really necessary because the app is very useful as is, but I think they would improve it.OLED65R1PUA, OLED88ZXPUA, OLED77ZXPUA, OLED77G1PUA, OLED65G1PUA, OLED55G1PUA, OLED83C1PUA, OLED77C1PUB, OLED65C1PUB, OLED55C1PUB, OLED48C1PUB, OLED83C1AUA, OLED77C1AUB, OLED65C1AUB, OLED55C1AUB, OLED48C1AUB, OLED77B1PUA, OLED65B1PUA, OLED55B1PUA, OLED77A1PUA, OLED65A1PUA, OLED55A1PUA. Anyway, it would be a good idea to look into this (note that my suggestion of an alternate IP address could be used work around this issue to some extent).
Another possibility is that the app is using one of 's IP addresses without doing a new DNS lookup, so its results could be affected by Google's load balancing efforts. It could be that the app may not always measure ping times accurately (i.e., perhaps it doesn't see a response and then takes a while to get back in sync). For comparison, I opened a Terminal window and pinged myself. The display was showing a run of very long ping times > 3 seconds, even some instances of “ping G” failure, which seemed odd to me because I had noticed no internet slowdowns. UPDATE: after further use, I noticed a possible concern. This would make in relatively more intrusive as the internet connection worsened. As it gets worse, increase the size of the bar until it is all red (or black) in that case, it would be its present size. When the ms value is good, make the bar just a little centered dot. It might be worthwhile to have some kind of pulse indicator integrated into the bar, such as the follows: toggle the bar (not the numbers) on/off for each ping. In that case, the display doesn't change. Finally, one third suggestion: sometimes there are several identical ms values in a row, say 18ms. This could even be hard-coded (say, green for 1s), or the user could specify different limits.
I still think that it's nice to write the ping time, but why not write it & the bar in a color on a continuum from red for ping fails to green for normal? And use black for wifi of/ ping returns some error other than time out, etc. I find it somewhat difficult to read the letters. This leads me to my second suggestion: use color, or some other font change. In my case, I could use my lab's web site, then the app would be testing both my wifi and that of my lab. I do have a couple of suggestions that might make it a little better.įirst, does have to be hard-coded? It might be useful to allow an alternate site to be specified.
So, this app does it all the time, in my menubar. Whenever things get hinky, I generally fire up a Terminal window and ping something I “know” is always there.
