URLencode Widget 1.1
URLencode Widget - Quickly URLencode or URLdecode text on your clipboard more>>
Handy for those doing manual database, xml, or web work.
The MacOSX clipboard is capable of copying rtf formatted text. (Notice when you copy from a webpage and then paste it into TextEdit, it usually still has the fonts, formatting, and colors). The URLencode widget attempts to translate that text to plain text before encoding it!
To use the URLencode, simply copy some text onto your clipboard (Command - c), then open your Dashboard (F12 is the default button), and then click either the ENCODE or DECODE buttons on the URLencode Widget. The resulting text will be on your clipboard, ready to be pasted (Command - v) into a different place.
Why would you want to do this, you ask? Well, many people who work as programmers, database admins, XML users, and the like, tend to need to have text encoded by hand on occasion. Encoding the text changes all special characters including spaces into a 3 character string starting with % and ending with the two digit ASCII code for the character.
Enhancements:
- Fixed issues with Quote characters and mixed-encoded text.
Logic 0.1
Logic - Simple game of deduction more>>
When starting the game, you will see the set up screen which allows you to set the properties for the game.
Number of columns is the size of the number you want to try to solve. 4 means a 4 digit number. Number of choices is the number of posible choices for each slot. 4 means that each slot can have the values of 1 to 4. Press start when you are ready.
Next you will see the game screen. To end the game and go back to the setup screen, press the New Game button. Next to that are question marks which shows how big of a number you have to try to solve. The middle section is the guess history. At the bottom you can enter in a guess and press the Guess button or give up by pressing the Answer button. Pressing the Clue button will help you out by telling you the value of one of the slots. After making an guess (right) you will be told how many of the numbers correct and how many numbers are in the correct slot. p is for position and indicats the correctly positioned numbers. c is for count and is the correct number numbers regardles of position. With this information, you should be able to figure out what the correct number is. In the example shown to the right, three of the numbers are correct but none of them are in the correct location.
MightyMonitor Widget 1.2
MightyMonitor Widget displays the battery status for the Apple Wireless Keyboard and the Wireless Mighty Mouse more>>
I kept hoping someone would develop something like this, and alas I got tired of waiting. This works on my system -- it may not on yours. It is pretty simple code.
It runs the following from the command line to get the battery status:
For the keyboard:
% ioreg -n "IOAppleBluetoothHIDDriver" | grep -i "batterypercent" | sed s/[^[:digit:]]//g
For the Mouse:
% ioreg -n "AppleBluetoothHIDMouse" | grep -i "batterypercent" | sed s/[^[:digit:]]//g
Enhancements:
- adds support for the old-style Apple Wireless Mouse (non-mighty).
Extended Plugin 3.1
Extended Plugin - REALbasic plug-in adds new data types more>>
ExtFloat is the type RR of NTL. You can set both the bit precision and the decimal output precision for ExtFloat, with no limitation except for available memory. It might take awhile, but you can now calculate pi in a REALbasic program to a million decimal places, or more. The power of 10 for ExtFloat can range from about -60,000,000 to +60,000,000 as compared to -308 to +308 for a Double.
ExtComplex doesnt exist in NTL. I made it from two ExtFloats. So the real and imaginary parts of an ExtComplex use the bit precision and the decimal output precision set for ExtFloat. So you can now use complex numbers with almost unlimited precision.
IAExtFloat also doesnt exist in Victor Shoups NTL. It is a data type which is used for Interval Arithmetic, which is arithmetic with inequalities. An IAExtFloat number is represented by two ExtFloat numbers (a, b), where one thinks of an ExtFloat number x being in the interval between a and b. That is: a<<less
Julius I5.0
Julius - Translate arabic digits into roman digits more>>
So if you ever need to make this calculations this simple application is the tool for you.
The use of Julius is very easy: you simply write the number (strictly positive, no decimal, under 4000), click on the convert button, and the Roman version of your number is displayed, in a copy-enabled field.

- The conversion is now explained by a drawer, to help understanding the logic of the roman numbers
- Internally, the code has been restructured
- Weve simplified the donation process, it can now be made easily from within the software.
- Weve added a cultural easter egg!

Barcodet 2.7
Bar codes for FileMaker Pro. more>>
Barcodet 2.7 is considered as a basic application for creating high-quality bar codes from data stored in your FileMaker Pro databases. There are no plug-ins to cause compatibility problems and no scripts needed to generate the bar codes. Plus, the bar codes are easily added to existing solutions.
- Code 39 (also known as Code 3 of 9) is one of today's most popular general-purpose alphanumeric bar codes. It features upper-case letters, numbers, and eight (8) frequently used symbols, including spaces, periods, the dollar sign [ $ ], percent symbol [ % ], plus sign [ + ], hyphen [ - ], and slash [ / ]. Code 39 is reliable, easy to scan, and tolerant of minor printing imperfections.
- Code 128 is a full-ASCII alphanumeric symbology that accommodates upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and other characters. It is highly popular and is used worldwide for many different types of applications. Secure error checking is provided by the use of weighted Mod 103 check digits.
- Interleaved 2 of 5 is a rugged, compact, variable-length, numeric bar code. It is frequently used for container and carton labeling, warehousing, shipping, and other industrial applications (including the medical field), but is also an ideal choice if a condensed numeric bar code is needed.
- MSI Plessey is a numeric bar code symbology that is widely used for labeling shelves, tracking publications, and ID cards. A primary application of this bar code is inventory control. Automatically performs double Mod 10 error checking for increased scanning accuracy.
- Code 11 is a simple, variable length symbology that includes the numbers 0-9, plus a hyphen, and offers double Mod 11 error checking. This code is used for labeling telecommunications equipment and is also widely used in other applications that require a secure, compact numeric bar code.
- Code 25 (also know as Code 2 of 5) includes the numbers 0-9. It is often used for inventory and warehousing and is commonly found on photo finishing envelopes, airline tickets, baggage tags, and shipping labels.
- Code 93 is a full-ASCII alphanumeric symbology designed as a high-density complement to Code 39. It is highly efficient when processing mixed input. Accommodates upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and other characters. Secure error checking is provided by the use of double Mod 47 check digits.
- PostNET bar codes help to ensure more reliable and faster mail delivery. This module accommodates 5-digit, 9-digit (Zip+4) and 11-digit Delivery Point (DPBC) postal codes.
- Royal Mail (United Kingdom) RM4SCC postal bar codes are used both for mailings within the UK and for sending mail into the UK from other countries.
