I’ve just spent multiple hours working on a long-term side quest.

I have far too many drives installed in my gaming PC. I have a #rainmeter skin that gives me an at-a-glance visual of how much space is left on each drive.

As well as the numbers, there’s a small line graph under each drive, that provides a visual indicator of how full the drive is. I’d made a few modifications over the years, but last year I found a drive monitor skin that used a coloured bar graph depending on how full the drive was, from green to red.

I really liked the idea, but not the execution. I prefer the look of the skin I’m using. I ran the two side by side for months, after a brief failed attempt to understand how the “new” one worked, but today I decided I’d try again.

I eventually succeeded, however I’m not great at complex maths, the kind that scripting and coding require.

It’s why I’m not a dev.

Staring at a string of code, and willing myself to understand how the variables are interacting to produce a particular outcome, knowing that it’s just math, but that I can’t hold the numbers in my head long enough to see it clearly?

I ended up with a headache.

The final outcome seems to work, even though I’m not entirely sure that the math works.

My biggest problem was order of operations stuff, once I’d worked out where and what calculations needed to be made.

Partly because I wanted to *change* the way it worked. I wanted it to stay green until the drive is 50% full, *then* start changing the colour.

Having succeeded, I should feel a sense of achievement, but I don’t. I just feel frustrated that I got caught up on a side quest, and that were my brain better at maths, it wouldn’t have taken me so long.

Does anyone remember Rainmeter and Conky?

Great to get information at a glance about what your system is doing.
