NA_WorkSheet 2006-02-22
NA_WorkSheet project is a collective aggregation of algorithms more>>
The worksheet has been designed to allow a simple user interface for accessing and executing each numerical method. Each numerical analysis algorithm will normally require some type of input. The input will normally come in the form of an input equation/data and parameters for controlling the execution of the algorithm. Output from each algorithm approximation is directly available as either a solution or combination solution and intermediate data. The NA_Worksheet also provides the capability to graph an input equation with the ability to both translate and scale the resultant plot.
Upon running the NA_Worksheet application/applet the user will be presented with a standard 800x600 pixel frame that will conform to the host workstations look and feel, theme. The frame can be resized to any desired dimension. The users interface for the worksheet is divided into a quadripartite. In the upper left quadrant is the graph panel. Here plots can be viewed of the equation that is input for analysis.
The upper right panel holds the main input, where various numerical methods can be selected and executed. The panel also provides a text box where the input equation for analysis can be entered. Two main buttons allow the user to either execute the selected approximation or graph the input equation.
The lower left panel houses several tabbed panes that allows data output to be viewed, function evaluation, or controls for the graph panel to be accessed. The graph tab also includes the present grid scaling on the graph and coordinate information. The final panel in the lower right quadrant is particular to each selected numerical approximation. This panel provides the parameter selection and input for each chosen numerical method. A condensed list of the panels and there names follows:
- Graph Panel - Upper left quadrant.
- Main Input Panel - Upper right quadrant
- Output/Graph Control Panel - Lower left quadrant
- Approximation Method Panel - Lower right quadrant

trading-shim 090529
Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation command-line and dbms controlled interface more>> Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation command-line and dbms controlled interface
trading shim is a command-line and dbms controlled interface to the socket-based API of Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation, abbreviated as the IB tws socket api, or simply tws.
That api has a number of advantages for our purposes, including the freely available Trader Workstation, comprehensive feeds and archives for tick and history data, a paper account ideal for software testing, and low transaction costs.
The shim consults the product database at initial startup, and from then on uses in-memory lookup to translate brief text commands from the downstream to the much longer binary requests of the tws api.
trading-shim serializes the resulting event stream and copies the text to any of a number of user-selected output channels. The shim command interface provides an alternative to the existing tws gui interfaces, permitting you to use downstream programs, whether gui or not, to drive the tws through its api.
trading-shim is written in C, and although developed on Linux, trading-shim should be able compile and run on any modern Unix-like platform.
System requirements:
-
- Trader Workstation
-
- MySQL

Books 3.2.2
Native Cocoa application for Mac OS X that stores, sorts, and searches book collection information more>> Native Cocoa application for Mac OS X that stores, sorts, and searches book collection information
Books is intended to assist book collectors with managing personal collections.
Book cataloging has traditionally been a very tedious and time-consuming task. [COPYRIGHt=1] Prior to computerization most professional libraries hired staff to do this and the result was the venerable card catalog.
The card catalog was better than no catalog at all, but it suffered from a few drawbacks. First of all, it was typically sorted using only a handful of fields that could describe a book. Remember that the fiction catalog was organized alphabetically by the authors last names and the nonfiction books were organized by subject or title.
This was useful if we wanted to find all of the novels published by Stephen King or all of the books about astronomy. It was not so useful for finding all of the books published by Carl Sagan or all of fiction about ghosts.
As you have no doubt noticed during your recent visit to a library, there are not many card catalogs left. Your friendly neighborhood librarian probably replaced the card catalog with a computer workstation that allows you to do things like find all of the ghost novels or list all of the Carl Sagan books on the local shelves.
While something nostalgic has been lost in the transition to digital catalogs, both the librarians and patrons are better off. Patrons can more easily find the books they want and card catalog helps the librarian keep track of what books are on the shelves, who checked them out, and so on.
When you use a cataloging program such as Books, you become both the librarian and the patron. Your library consists of your books sitting on your shelves and how you choose to describe them. Think of Books as your personal card catalog. It has two goals: to help you catalog and manage your book collection, and to give you the tools for quickly locating individual books and enjoying your own personal library.
Main features:>
- Quickfill - Books can go online and retrieve information about your books with as little information as an ISBN number UPC code. Numerous companies and libraries provide book information online and Books helps you by communicating with those sources to save you from entering details or scanning covers manually.
- Lists & Smart Lists - Books allows you to create any number of lists to allow you to organize your collection as you wish. Smart lists allow you to define dynamic lists using a set of simple rules that collect in one place all the books matching your criteria.
- Data Exporting - You may find yourself wishing to use and share your book information when youre not in front of the computer. Books provides many options for taking your data out of the program and making it available to programs such as Excel, posting it on the web as part of your personal website, or taking it on-the-go on your iPod or mobile phone.
Enhancements:
- This update fixes the bugs in the Quickfill system.
LanOSD 1.0b4
Network on screen display. more>>
Its a way if displaying "passive" information that doesnt necessarily require all of your attention, doesnt need a specific log, but which is nice to know anyway if you happen to look in that direction.
LanOSD can also forms a network with its other LanOSD friends running in other machines close by, and decide which one(s) are supposed to display messages. Each machine has a priority, and the machines that have the highest priority at any given time displays the messages.
LanOSD is Scriptable, so you can integrate easily in all your scripts and procedures. Also provided is a command line tool that will work even if your procedure is in a cron job, for example.
Now, the "LAN" bit of the name is where it gets interesting. "LAN" is for "Local Area Network"; that is, your bedroom, office, floor, or Massively Carpeted Silicon Valley Headquarters.
LanOSD forms a little network with its other LanOSD friends running in other machines close by, and decide which one(s) are supposed to display messages. Each machine is assigned a priority, and the machines that have the highest priority at any given time displays the messages.
So for example put your main workstation to sleep, and the messages will start appearing on your laptop, which had nothing to do before that. Its all automagic too - you have nothing to reconfigure or change.
As a side effect, LanOSD also watches out for machines that are crashed or go offline and displays a notification on the current active display(s).
Enhancements:
- Added the "local only" parameter to prevent notifications being sent on the LAN.
- Fixed the -L parameter problem some people were having with the command line tool.
