Version 9 of Jason Tang

Hi folks. I've been messing around with Tcl/Tk ever since Michael Jacobson introduced me to it in 2001.

I have written the following: tcldoc2, fickle, and tclweather. I am in the process of writing a few other projects.

Here's an old (1996) picture of me, in case you want to stalk me:

My horribly out of date home page is at http://www.jtang.org .

Email me at [concat "tang" "at" "jtang.org"]. (Sorry, I have to start spam-proofing my address[L1 ].)

Personally I don't like authoring HTML pages...so no bandwidth-wasting Flash/ActiveX/Javascript/etc below.


TclWeather is a simple weather applet that periodically downloads meteorological data from NOAA's web site[L2 ]. The program first grabs the METAR[L3 ] report for the selected site. It then pushes the data through a home-made scanner (written as a Fickle specification file) and then displays it on a home-made ticker widget. Here's a screenshot of it in action.

TclStock is yet another one of those stock ticker applets. It reused much of the TclWeather codebase, hence the similarities in both design and appearance. It retrieves its stock quotes from NewsAlert[L4 ]. It doesn't have the fancy features needed to maintain a complete portfolio; it is intended to be a lightweight companion to TclWeather. The program was originally inspired by Tom Poindexter's TclTicker, but was quickly branched off to utilize the ticker widget I wrote for TclWeather. Here is its screenshot:
