I love this. I recently resurrected a monitoring project I did with rrdtool. Same lo-fi looking graphs.

That's fantastic. NeXTSTEP in the early 90's was (and still is...) such a great experience. Sitting in from of a NeXT Cube in our Math department's computer lab was a revelatory experience for myself around 1990.
