Automated network diagnostics for your mom. This project is now moribund. It was nice while it lasted, but I've moved on.

Geek in a Can is a daemon that monitors the network connection and provides a web UI that allows non-technical users to understand network problems, and take appropriate corrective action. In other words, you set up geek-in-a-can for your mom, and it tells her how to reboot the cable modem when it gets wedged, so you don't have to deal with phone calls about how "the internet is broken". Version 0.1 runs tests on demand, and has a *very* bare-bones UI. It only works on Linux (which your mom probably doesn't run), and is generally not ready for even late night cable-access channels, much less Prime Time. I'm looking for brave souls who want to test my software, or even contribute code. Download a copy today from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/geekinacan/geekinacan-0.1.tgz?download
