Just released:
Internet Connection Monitor version 3.0

Most of you have never heard of this, but it’s been a project of mine for the past 2 years, although I haven’t really actively been updating it. Just a brief history:

This was created to monitor my internet connection because it frequently cuts out for long periods of time. I needed something to show my ISP to prove to them that the service kept dropping. For this, I created a simple BASH script that would ping our ip every x seconds, and wrote a log of outages. This system was extremely limited, however, so about 6 months later, I wrote a Python version. Still, this version was buggy and inadequate. So now I release version 3.0.

It is written in C# and:

• Puts an icon in the system tray that shows the current status of the connection (red for down, green for up)
• Shows balloon tips when the connection drops or comes back up
• Options for changing polling interval, port, server, and where to save the logfiles
• A logfile viewer that parses the logfiles and tells you how long the connection was down
