N.A.N.Y. 2010 / Re: NANY 2010 Release: Piggy Banks
« Last post by skwire on December 17, 2009, 10:26 PM »
Looks good skwire.  My only suggestion would be some projection for the average rate of inflation for that item.  As example, A Tank of Gas.  Your car holds how many gallons, gallon of gas currently costs $x,  seed money you start with as Mouser suggested.  daily/weekly/monthly chip in amount =

The seed money is handled by the kitty field.  You can enter in any static amount there to be added to the fund.

Actually I was only joking a little bit.  If it is to be a long range planner it might be a good idea to have a variable for projected price increase/decrease.  As in some items may inflate quickly whereas electronics/computers may have a predictable price drop over time.

I'm not certain that the intention of this app is to be a hardcore planner or predictor of prices.  If the price of an item comes down, one can easily change the target goal amount, no?  Is this along the lines of what you meant?

« Last post by skwire on December 17, 2009, 06:32 AM »
NANY 2010 Entry Information

Application Name Piggy Banks
Version v1.0.4
Short Description Simple fund tracker
Supported OSes All Windows OS
Web Page Piggy Banks
Download Link Zip file (portable)
System Requirements Windows OS
Version HistoryChangelog
Author Profile
Screencast (courtesy of mouser, thanks!)


Description
Original idea from mouser here: https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=20595.0

Piggy Banks makes it easy for you to keep track of 'fund' accounts where a little money is put away each day.  For example, your family might decide that every day $1 will be put aside to help pay for a new board game.  Piggy Banks will make it easy to see how much money is saved up in the board game fund at any time.

Features
  • Track as many funds as you would like.
  • Real-time updating of funds and projected completion dates as you adjust the data.
  • Export to CSV option.
  • Icon turns from a silver medal to a gold medal when your fund completes.  Wooo.

Planned Features
I cater to the people so suggest something.   :D

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

Using the Application
1. Right-click the list (or use the toolbar buttons) and choose "Add fund" from the menu.  A new fund will be added to the list with some default values.  You will see a silver medal icon as well.  This signifies that the fund hasn't been met yet.
2. Name the fund whatever you'd like and change the values as needed using the fields at the bottom.
    a. Goal amount -- This is the target goal of the fund.
    b. Daily accrual -- This is how much you expect to put away daily for this fund.
    c. Kitty -- This is for any extra amount that you want added into the fund.
3. All values are calculated in realtime as you adjust the numbers.  You will also see a projected completion date based on the current values.
4. Once you reach your target goal, via daily accruals and the money in the kitty, the medal will turn gold.
5. Go buy your prize!

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.

Any chance a future version could have a tray icon with an alert system to remind me to eat a food that is about to expire? :)

Sure, I could have it check say, at midnight, and it have it pop up a message box with items that are within two days of expiration.  That way, the message box is there for you first thing in the morning.  Is that along the lines of what you're thinking?

That would be useful too :)

Oh, I think I know what you originally had in mind...enter in a total megabyte value and compute the monthly cost, right?

I assume you want to enter a total number of months and get the total cost?

It appears to me that the center two screenshots are the same...and I have the impression that you wanted us to show the content of each tab from your application. (tab 'Popup' is missing, btw.)

Doh!  Fixed!  Thank you very much.   :Thmbsup:

But as always...you created a nice solid application  :Thmbsup:

Thanks for the kind words.  I appreciate them.

Web Page ClipTrap
Download Link Zip file (portable)
System Requirements Windows OS
Version HistoryChangelog

Description
ClipTrap watches the clipboard and keeps track of copied text in its window.  I initially wrote it for my workplace where we use terminal emulators (SecureCRT, PuTTY, etc.) constantly and often need to capture several successive bits of output from various routers, switches, and other devices on the network.  I fleshed it out and prettied it up for NANY 2010.  I use this in conjunction with ArsClip, a fantastic clipboard caching tool.

Features
  • Customizable font.
  • Minimize to tray option.
  • Unicode capable.

Planned Features
I cater to the people so suggest something.   :D
