When archiving invoices and other receipts to your tax-administration there are always some receipts which do not have the correct VAT (BTW in Dutch) amounts noted.You need to get your calculator ( a real one or a widget), calculate the amounts with or without the VAT etc, etc… tedious!

Because I’m working with jQuery now anyway, I tought it should be pretty easy creating a calculator in HTML which has some functions built in to simplify this process.

And here it is (link opens in a popup)

Actually this thing turned out pretty neat. Apart from the VAT calculation – It’s also possible to input a complete formula in the display. Just click on the display screen to activate and start typing.

ofcourse you can type

707+707

and pressing enter calculates the result.

You can also enter this

 Math.sqrt((121+10)/445)*20

So, complete javascript formulas which you use on programming. Math.sqrt – that’s the square root command. Here’s an example list of what javascript is capable of.

 

Hangul Trainer App available in iTunes

The first RGP app is in Apple’s iTunes store: Train Hangul

OS-X Quick MP3 player

When I switched to OS-X I just couldn’t get used to the iTunes library. Sure, it’s handy to have all your music in one place so you always know where to find your tunes but I’ve got all my music on a seperate hard-drive and copying it to my MacBook Pro would eat up precious disc-space.

So I used Screentime’s mProjector to build a small app on which you can drag & drop MP3-files or folders containing MP3′s.

It’s a ‘standalone app’ – it does not require Adobe AIR or any other external system to run.

Beware though; This program is far from finished and I can not guarantee the proper handling of ‘recursive folders’. Dropping a bunch of MP3′s will work, also a single folder. In it’s current state I’m very pleased already.
