Timers, Status and Code, Oh my!
Before I deleted my site I had posted some code and programs that fire a timer in order to count down the days to an event. I wrote this in both XCode and IronPython, which can be downloaded with full source below. I decided to share again.
If you don’t have a copy of Visual Studio and would like to code GUI apps in C#, VB.Net, IronPython, etc. grab a copy of SharpDevelop. It has a visual GUI designer, compiles to exe, and has all the bells and whistles you’d expect in a modern IDE. Best of all, it’s free.
The XCode version, I will admit, may not be the greatest but I am learning XCode and Obj-C. It’s the reason I wrote this. I had noticed that a lot of people were interested in running apps in the statusbar while researching so maybe pieces of this code can help someone. If nothing else, you get a free countdown clock. Right?
I am placing this in the public domain (full source code included), use at your own risk and all that jazz. If you’re running Lion I would suggest using the Lion version. I used auto reference counting so it is more likely you won’t run into bugs. I’ve been running it for a month now with no problems.
