Aangezien de buienradar.nl website is veranderd (het heeft dit keer toch een poos geduurd voordat ik weer aan het werk moet…) en de NL Weerradar widget de informatie (afbeeldingen) rechtstreeks van de website plukt, werkt deze nu niet meer.
Aangezien ik het op dit moment vrij druk heb, kunnen er een paar dagen overheen gaan voordat ik de boel weer aan de praat heb. Als er een update is, wordt er vanzelf een melding weergegeven in de widget. Dus… nog even geduld a.u.b.!

NL Weerradar widget updated
The NL Weerradar widget has been updated to version 1.8. The update fixes two things:
- Fixed Buienradar.nl images not loading
- Fixed small bug that would throw an error on first start
Stay dry! Or know when you’re going to be soaking wet…
Leopard partially brakes Euro Stocks
I’ve been unable to test the Euro Stocks widget on Leopard yet, but through user reports I know the “Done” button on the backside doesn’t appear/work and the chart on the front is too small. I don’t know whether I’ll be able to test the widget myself on Leopard, since my one and only Mac is an iBook 12″ 1.2GHz G4.
If you’d like to apply for testing, please let me now through the comments on this post!
I’m looking into the problem right now and will post an update ASAP. Thanks for your patience.
New version of EuroStocks Widget
Well, I guess one of the most requested features of the widget has now come true: intraday charts. While not as nice-looking as the other charts which are drawn live in canvas, I’ve found a way to blend the standard Yahoo intraday pixelated charts into the widget, without loosing too much eye-candy.
On top of that, I’ve added something that might be more of showoff feature: you can now select to view the risers and fallers of an index instead of the chart.
So, hope you like it, leave a comment on the widget page itself!
Choices. New widgets. New problems.
As you might have noticed by now, there are new versions of the Euro Stocks widget. The old (version 0.6) one has been entirely replaced by version 1.0, which doesn’t share any of the old code (except maybe for the update functionality). It’s been built from ground up. You might wonder why there no longer is an intraday option, why the stock codes have been changed and why the preferences are no longer global. Continue reading Choices. New widgets. New problems.
Custom ISIN Code Trouble
To all of you who are using the EuroStocks Widget for MacOSX and are having trouble using Custom ISIN/Index Codes to track their stocks: I’m sorry, Euronext.com is constantly changing and I can’t find a consistent solution for tracking one particular stock item. The trouble lies in the fact that an ISIN code can be listed at more than one Index and I can’t make up a way to detect which ones that are.
On the other hand I’ve found a couple of other stockrate sources that I might incorporate in a future version of the widget. I can still see EuroStocks to be the super aggregate stocks widget, if only I had more time…
Thank you for your patience and please keep checking apple.com for other stocks widgets. Competition will drive all of us to do our best!
Euro Stocks widget version o.6
It’s taken some time, but the two most annoying bugs have been taken care of.
The changes: Version 0.6
- The “Custom ISIN Code” is now properly saved to preferences
- The widget resizes correctly after a reload/resize when the “Volume” preference is checked.
Wish you happy moneymaking!
It takes two to tango..
..and the Buienradar.nl guys don’t seem to like dancing. Doesn’t matter, small update to fix their rainradar images not loading.
Find the update here.
And again..
NL Weerradar widget is updated to version 1.6, to deal with some changes in the Buienradar.nl page. I’m not even hoping for it to work for a long time, as the Buienradar.nl guys seem to have fun in constantly changing their pages.
You can find it here.
Birth of the Euro Stocks widget
It all starts with a request on a forum and before you know it, you’re working on something that doesn’t really interest you (stocks…), but is a darn good challenge.
So, here it is: the Euro Stocks widget. Use it to make some money. Don’t ever forget that it was me who made that easier for you.
Features:
- Includes the National indices of Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon and Paris and the Global indices of Euronext.
- Intraday and historic charts (in seven steps from one month to ten years) of all aforementioned indices.
- Risers and fallers of selected index on separate tabs.
- The amount of information in the chart (grid, previous close, etc.) can be adjusted according to your wishes.
- You’re able to use a custom ISIN code, to view indices not included in the predefined indices.
- The widget saves all preferences.
