Thank you to everyone who purchased a Gaucho Software product in the month of September. A significant amount of money was raised and will be donated to the Red Cross shortly.

It is saddening to hear of the damage and losses suffered by those who were affected by Hurricane Katrina. Gaucho Software will be helping in the recovery efforts by donating 25% of every software sale during the month of September to the American Red Cross. The Red Cross is providing shelter, food, counseling, and other assistance to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Dash Monitors 1.3 has been released. This version fixes several bugs and contains some speed improvements while drawing the graphical displays. Download it from the Dash Monitors Project Page.

Dash Monitors 1.2 has been released. The interface has been updated extensively, and this is the first version considered "final" and fully supports the public release of Tiger. Check it out on the Dash Monitors Project Page.

Gaucho Software is pleased to introduce the Monitoring Toolkit (MTK), an open source plugin architecture for monitoring CPU, Memory, Network and Disk usage. This plugin architecture is a the very core of Dash Monitors 1.2, and will eventually be used in XRG as well. Since code is separated into plugins, it will be easy for both Gaucho Software and third party developers to release MTK plugins in the future. If you are a developer, be sure to check it out on the new Open Source Software pages.

Apple released Tiger today. If you are a new Tiger user, be sure to check out Dash Monitors. The current version is still a preview release, but a production release (1.2) is coming soon.

Compare this month's weather conditions to last month's, or even last year's. Keep track of just your hometown or multiple cities all over the U.S. Check out the Seasonality page to download and check it out.

Dash Monitors 1.1 preview was released this morning. Version 1.1 includes two new graph modes: text and graphical. From the project web page: The text view mode shows a very simple text view of the resources being used and is beneficial because it takes very few system resources to generate the statistics. The graphical view mode, while taking more CPU resources to draw all the monitors, displays a nice interface to what is happening on the system. Text summaries are provided with most of the monitors in graphical mode to provide the exact data along with the graphical approximations.

Check out the preview release and post suggestions for future functionality to the Forums.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to a new company called Gaucho Software. I have been developing software for the Macintosh the past two years, most of which was spent working on an open source project called XRG. After talking with other Macintosh entrepreneurs at the O'Reilly MacOS X Conference last year, I decided that it was time to take things to the next level. Starting this summer, I will be working full time to create world class software for the MacOS X platform.

Gaucho Software also is available to do consulting work for other companies or individuals. I have plenty of experience in desktop application development on the Mac and Windows platforms, along with experience with database-backed web development. If you are interested in hiring me as a consultant, check out the Gaucho Software Consulting page.

Again, welcome to the company, and keep checking in for updates and new software releases.

President, Gaucho Software
