Project Gallery:
Let us know about any
interesting Linux projects you are
working on. Each quarter we will feature the most interesting ones that
have been submitted on this page. Ideas submitted should be related
to applications, utilities, tools, and software that you have developed, or
tested.
Project #1: Ken's RH Linux Weather
Station
LUGIE Member, Ken Howells, is involved in a non-profit
organization, CSS, which exists to serve the foot launched flying
community in the San Bernardino, CA. Mountains. The
Crestline Soaring Society {CSS}
web site maintains useful information about soaring conditions for those interested
in Hang Gliding and Paragliding. He recently installed a Linux based
weather station that is incorporated at the CSS Site. Read more about it
by clicking here. We hope to
follow the progress of this project as it develops over time. Ken plans
to give us have a look at the Perl script used in this project.
Project #2: Gary's php Loan
Payment Calculator
LUGIE Member, Gary
Taylor, is involved with an advertising service called World
Wide Classifieds. Since he often needs an amortization table for
business transactions, he decided to build his own. As a good will
builder, he has made it available to others via the web. While there are
other such pages already, Gary's is unique because it includes a calendar and
lists the actual date each payment is due on the professional looking
amortization table. The calendar is good to about 2035, so
it is good for calculating loan payments 30-40 years or less
