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!

Birth of the Euro Stocks widget

Euro Stocks WidgetIt 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.

NL Weerradar widget update no2

Guess I’ll have to be keeping up with “the internet”. Buienradar.nl changed their page today and that stopped the widget from loading the image of the current rainfall correctly.
Furthermore I thought that I had put saving and retrieving of preferences for size and source in the last release. It however happened to be only in my own development version.

Nevertheless, it all works now, including the preferences, please don’t hate me for updating it so quickly (blame Buienradar.nl!) and stay dry!

Just starting up

Hey and welcome! As you can see this site is just starting up… Guess I’ll need to put a big “Under Construction” sign here, which is of course “so 90’s”. So I won’t.
