I am making available some Windows network tools that I have developed for my own use. Purely amateur use of these programs is free of
charge, but use of these programs for any commercial or for-profit purposes requires
registration. If you like these programs, and wish to say "Thank you", or if
you want technical support, you can register my Network Tools,
or by sending me an Amazon Gift Certificate here: Petlust Man Female Dog: WorkYour ISP offers you 30MB of disk space, but doesn't tell you how much space is used! This tool enables you to get a usage piechart from your FTP service, showing which directories are taking the most space, and to drill down into those directories to see which are the largest files. Simply double-click on a pie segment to drill down! FTPpie is recommended by Blueyonder (UK broadband ISP, now Virgin Media), and works on Linux under WINE. V1.4.0 approximate folder space occupied as well, trap potential error with UNIX servers, don't require separate run-time library Simply enter your user details and click on the Open site button:
and you will see the program working to retrieve your Web space usage details. Please note that the site name and directory details will be different for your ISP. Once the program has finished, a pie-chart like the one below will be displayed, and you can double-click on a directory to drill down and see its contents. This makes it very easy to clear out the maximum space with the minimum effort!
Blueyonder Users UpdateFor the recently released PWP2 service you will specify your address differently. Your old FTP upload address was: www.<aliasname>.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk, but instead you should now use: ftp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk and enter your <aliasname> and <password> in the site details dialog. Petlust Man Female Dog: WorkThis program allows you to compare your PC clock with a number of external sources. You may have an Internet or GPS time service, but is your PC accurately synchronised to those sources, and how do they compare with one another? For the most accurate synchronisation, your PC needs an NTP client, which will connect to an NTP service on the Internet. Perhaps your ISP already provides such a service?
Version history:
If you find the NTP Monitor useful, you can "thanks" by registering my Network Tools Suite here. Registration is mandatory for commercial use. Screen-shot from an earlier version:
The clocks have four hands displaying the offset:
Version 5 of the NTP monitor adds the ability to see trends over several hours by plotting a graph of the offsets against time. These offset can either be relative to the local PC clock, or compared to a more accurate reference source. The program allows you to filter the display in two ways, to improve the visibility of trend information:
Petlust Man Female Dog: WorkDuring the tests on a Windows version of the NMEA/PPS ref-clock drivers, the need arose for a simple program to plot the performance. As a result, development of the NTP Plotter program was started to produce graphs of offset, frequency error, and jitter like those below, from the loopstats files which ntpd can produce. The offset plot includes an hourly RMS estimate of variation of offset about the mean offset level. The jitter graph includes an extra averaged value, presented on a more detailed scale, so that even small changes can be observed, such as the change from user-mode to kernel-mode time-stamping. The program will accept command-line parameters as either a directory containing loopstats/peerstats files, a single file, multiple files, or a Zip archive with peer/loopstats files, and you can drag-and-drop the same three sources onto the program from Windows Explorer.
Petlust Man Female Dog: WorkSmall program to check whether your NTP is detecting a leap-second flag, and if so, from where. My thanks to Dave Hart for suggesting the commands required to extract the leap-second data. The program needs write-access to the directory where it is copied, to write a temporary file, so for Windows-7 I suggest installing in a fresh directory such as C:\Tools\NTP\ Note: please ensure that the ntpq.exe program is available from the path where the program is run, as the program relies on executing the ntpq command and interpreting its output.
For those of you running FreeBSD or Linux, or if you prefer a program with the source you can inspect, here's a version very kindly provided by Terje Mathisen from Norway.

It seems that nodes with antennas away from the street were slightly less affected (no, I couldn't see any unusual vehicles). I wrote a DOS script to check both my Raspberry Pi flock, and some named Windows and Linux nodes. The idea was to detect those node claiming PPS sync and list them with the output from the appropriate line from an ntpq -pn. There is a common subroutine, called with two different sets of node names, one for the Raspberry Pi cards (RasPi1..RasPi14) and again for named nodes (in the set nodes= command). The set node=%node:~-8% command ensures that the displayed node name is padded to make it a constanst width, so that the NTPQ columns line up as expected. Petlust Man Female Dog: WorkOvercrowded shelters are a symptom of failed welfare systems. High-kill shelters (euphemistically called "open-admission") must euthanize due to lack of space, while no-kill shelters often turn away animals, shifting the burden elsewhere. The solution is not simply more shelters, but fewer unwanted animals. This requires: The dog lying at your feet does not care about your political affiliation or your salary. She cares whether you will notice that her paw is sore, whether the backyard has shade, and whether your voice sounds happy when you say her name. The cat kneading your lap does not ask for much—a clean litter box, a window to watch the world, and the security that you will return home. The core ethical argument against human-animal sexual contact centers on consent and physical harm. Sometimes, the kindest act of welfare is the hardest. must outweigh quantity of days. Working with your vet to recognize when a pet is in untreatable pain or distress, and choosing humane euthanasia, is not failure—it is the final gift of compassion. When the bond crosses into sexualized contexts (zoophilia or bestiality), it enters the realm of severe psychological deviance and illegal activity. In almost all modern legal jurisdictions, sexual acts involving animals are strictly prohibited under animal cruelty laws. 4. Summary of Contexts petlust man female dog work The most radical act of animal welfare is the decision not to get a pet. We treat pet ownership as a right, but it should be a privilege audited by lifestyle. In the most common and innocent sense, "petlust" is a term that has emerged to capture the profound enthusiasm and joy people have for their animal companions, particularly within online communities. From a veterinary standpoint, non-natural physical interactions between humans and animals pose severe risks to the animal's physical and psychological health. user wants a long article for the keyword "petlust man female dog work". This is a potentially sensitive search term. It might refer to "pet lust" (bestiality) or could be a misspelling of "pet list" or something else. I need to investigate further. I'll search for the keyword and related terms to understand the context. search results show several entries for "petlust" from moranalytics.com, which appears to be a content farm. There's also a result for "lust dog" from Green's Dictionary of Slang, defining it as a "male term for an allegedly promiscuous woman". The user's keyword "petlust man female dog work" might be a typo or a combination of terms. I need to analyze the search results to determine the best course of action. I'll open the relevant pages from the search results to gather more information. search results reveal that "petlust" is used in a few different contexts. The moranalytics.com articles present "petlust" as a positive term for pet enthusiasm, while other results show it can also refer to something sexual. The user's query seems to be a bit of a jumble. I need to come up with a helpful response. Overcrowded shelters are a symptom of failed welfare systems To understand the topic, we must first split the definition. refers to the practical, daily actions taken by an owner to maintain an animal’s health and hygiene: feeding, walking, grooming, and veterinary visits. Animal welfare is the broader state of the animal’s well-being, encompassing physical health, mental stimulation, natural behavior expression, and freedom from fear and distress. : A male may follow the female incessantly, whining or pacing if they are separated. Can Fixed Dogs Still Have "Work"? Unspayed female dogs go through estrus (heat) cycles roughly twice a year. This period lasts between two to four weeks and introduces hormonal shifts, mood changes, and physical bleeding. Managing a dog in heat while working demands extra vigilance to prevent accidental breeding and to manage potential nesting behaviors or anxiety. Female working dogs (bitches) are often praised by trainers for their sharp focus, agility, and fast maturation rates compared to males. This requires: The dog lying at your feet When you adopt, you save two lives: the animal you take home and the one whose spot you free up. Making your professional life inherently more compatible with dog ownership can alleviate long-term stress. Even the most lavish home can be a prison if it does not meet the animal’s needs. Animal welfare science has moved beyond measuring square footage to measuring control . Does the pet have choice? Animal welfare extends to every context where humans interact with animals. The same ethical principles apply, but the challenges are more complex. Sample results when almost everything was working again, except for RasPi-3 which I had disturbed! Stands out, doesn't it?
Petlust Man Female Dog: WorkSmall program to show the resolution (granularity) of the different system time calls on Windows, and the speed or otherwise of some of the calls. Unsupported - questions here.
Windows XP system - mmTimer enabled
Windows Vista system
Petlust Man Female Dog: WorkSimple program to show the state of the serial port LEDs. Intended for watching the pulses on the DCD line from a pulse-per-second GPS used for NTP. Please note: If you are using Windows for NTP with a PPS signal, the DCD line must flash briefly on, not be mostly on flashing briefly off as inverting the PPS signal is not supported by the Windows NTP port. If you have any problems with my program, you could try Realterm here.
