Description
Original idea from mouser here: https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=20629.0

Bestimate is a utility designed to help you become more accurate and realistic about your predictions and promises. Add items like "Number of pages I will write this week" or "Number of pounds i will lose this month", and provide your predicted/promised values. Then, at the end of the time period, record your actual achieved values. Bestimator keeps track of how far off you were from your initial prediction/promise. Note that this program is intended to help you become more realistic about your predictions, so being off in either direction is just as bad!

Features

Track as many estimates as you would like.
Real-time updating of estimates as you adjust the data.
Export to CSV option.

Planned Features
I cater to the people so suggest something.

Screencast

Screenshots

Usage
Installation
Unpack the archive to its own folder and run Bestimate.exe.

Using the Application
1. Right-click the list (or use the toolbar buttons) and choose "Add entry" from the menu. A new entry will be added to the list with some default values. You will see a grey icon as well. This signifies that the entry hasn't been completed yet.
2. Name the entry whatever you'd like and change the values as needed using the fields at the bottom.
3. The accuracy is calculated in realtime as you adjust the numbers.
4. Once you complete the entry by entering in an "Actual Value", the icon will turn green if 100% or red otherwise.
5. The status bar will show an average accuracy from all your entries.

Uninstallation
Delete the folder you unpacked the archive to. Nothing is written to the registry.

Known Issues
It wouldn't be software if it didn't have issues. Let me know if you find any.

How do I disable the shell extension? I can't find it in ShellExView. Thanks in advance.
-jeirich (December 29, 2009, 04:50 PM)

The menu option acts as a toggle so all you should have to do is select the menu option again to turn it off.

BTW, I happened across a thread titled "UNICODE version of AutoHotkey" at the AHK forum. Are you familiar with this?
-ewemoa (December 23, 2009, 04:13 PM)

Yes, I am; I was letting it mature a bit before attempting much with it. However, in light of this issue, I'll give it a go compiling ClipTrap with it and see if it solves anything. Thanks for your in-depth testing as well. I very much appreciate it.

Do you encounter the same issue?
-ewemoa (December 22, 2009, 12:39 AM)

No, I don't. However, I run my computers with Japanese as the default language and also have them set up with Japanese set as the language to use for non-Unicode applications. It's possible that is what allows me to see the Kanji for shiken properly.

« Last post by skwire on December 22, 2009, 07:48 AM »

Just use iLyrics. It's on Google code and the address is http://code.google.com/p/ilyrics/.
I think this has been answered fully now, so could an admin please move this to finished.
-scottystreet (December 21, 2009, 12:07 PM)

I beg to differ. Your suggestion appears to be a plugin for iTunes and not everybody uses iTunes. Since there doesn't appear to be a working solution, I may develop a stand-alone application that leverages the lyrics code from Trout.

N.A.N.Y. 2010 / Re: NANY 2010 Release: Piggy Banks

« Last post by skwire on December 18, 2009, 04:51 PM »

Not quite, I was thinking it might be nice to draw attention to a fund that has been missed. So if yesterday's deposit wasn't made it would gently remind the user by changing color, or re-sorting, or something like that.
-Stoic Joker (December 18, 2009, 03:58 PM)

Oh, I gotcha. The app automatically assumes you will put the money into the envelope, so to speak. It just computes a current fund total and completion date based off of the provided numbers.

N.A.N.Y. 2010 / Re: NANY 2010 Release: Piggy Banks

« Last post by skwire on December 18, 2009, 03:10 PM »

is there any value in incorporating some sort of debit field to this?
I realise this is venturing into the realms of ledgers and the like but it seems like sometimes you might want/need to legitimately debit a fund. I realise you could do this by modifying the kitty, but there's no details of the transaction so you won't know the who/when/why - this may not be important, but it was one of the first things I thought of when i saw mousers original post
-Target (December 17, 2009, 11:31 PM)

Hmmm...I think this might be a bit out of scope for this little app.

Can you add a date check so that if fund line item X is a day (or so) behind its goal it changes color and/or resorts itself to the top of the list? (gentile reminder sort of thing)
-Stoic Joker (December 18, 2009, 05:49 AM)

To clarify for me, you would like some notification that a fund is about to be met, right?

Website | Download v1.0.6 - 2009-12-18 + When the day changes (at midnight), a message box will pop up with a list of soon-to-expire items. (Thanks, jeromy)

If the above addition turns out to be a problem for anybody else using this app, please let me know and I'll make it optional.
