Synopsis: Free translucent battery meter that floats in a corner of the screen, providing an unobtrusive but easy-to-read graphical battery indicator, as well as an estimate of the time remaining. This was written as a replacement to the standard Windows XP battery meter, which has two major shortcomings: it does not display the time estimate unless the mouse cursor is placed above the system tray icon in the taskbar, and furthermore, that icon has too few states - it looks exactly the same whether the battery status is 30% or 2%.

This program reads a list of Buy/Sell/Dividend/etc transactions from a
file called Transactions.txt, which should be placed in
the same directory as the executable. The syntax of this file is
illustrated by the following sample file
(note: it is a fictitious portfolio, and will
not generate the graph to the left!).
The program should be called as follows:
It will automatically download the required stock/fund quotes from Yahoo, and create the following:

pics.txt.
pics2shtml 10 10 < pics.txt to obtain this file, which can be
used by Server Side Includes.
Note: even though this window manager is half a decade old, I still use it (in 2006) because of its speed and stability.
[12 ± 1] + [12 ± 1] = [24
± 1.414].
sin(1 ± 0.1) = [0.841 ±
0.054].
(MS-DOS) game programming
Note: if you receive Runtime Error 200, then you
need to patch ALIATT.EXE with tppatch. To do this,
unzip tppatch, and execute "tppatch
ALIATT.EXE". This error appears because I wrote this game in
Turbo Pascal 7, which did not support computers faster than 200 mHz.
That was very long ago.
