I am not sure what the cause was but I recently noticed the same thing other were reporting, my battery was lasting only a few hours even when I did not touch the tablet. Uninstalling the applets has made a world of diffence. I can no longer watch the battery drain away.

1. I had the .5 version and then .6 versions installed. I noticed it under the .6 versions. It may have been there before but I did not notice it.
2. I had the net stat, home ip, and cpu applets installed.
3. Just disabling them did not seem to make a difference. I did not try disabling them and then restarting the tablet.
4. Even doing an uninstall did not seem reduce cpu usage. I have the oss cpu monitor installed also and it still showed too much activity for an idle tablet. After rebooting the device it then went back to normal.
5. The home cpu applet seemed to sit at 388 mips (I think that was the number) almost all the time. 160 mips would show up periodically but not often. I would see 250 flash by at times but that was rare.

same thing happened to me, I installed the applets, left my tablet idle for a few hours, came back and it was dead. Uninstalled the applets and now its back to normal

Homediskfree works like a charm, but would be super if it was possible to add a custom label to each "disk".

Instead of internal showing as "/ : xx.x M" it would be super if it was possible to write a label at and get "Internal: xx.xx M", and so forth.

I was thinking the same, it would be cool to be able to label the disks.
Also, any chance of a homeClock applet offering different ways of dislaying the time. A couple yearrs back when I used to use regular computers, I had either gnome or kde with a "fuzzy" clock that was fun.

HomeIP stopped working for me yesterday too. I can check it in the applets dialog, but it won't run. I'm running Chinook on an N800.

Same here! I shouldn't have updated. I tried uninstalling and re-installing with no luck.

I PM'd Khertan to see if he was aware/working on this, but in the mean time the previous version can be found here.

Thanks Khertan!
