My girlfriend suggested I use a budget to keep a better grip on my finances. I never got around to doing one because I got sidetracked by making an AIR app which imports my bank statements and visualises my expenses over years, months and days. It was great fun to create a tool which I actually use and looks nice!
Working in advertising its sometimes nice to make something that is useful for a change. I made this AIR app as a part of the R&D initiative at Republic. Its installed on the work computers and could one day replace our paper phone lists, saving the world one A4 sheet at a time baby.
Its fed by xml and I included a few extra features, a list of the latest songs scrobbled on the public music pc and a multiuser chat panel (using SmartFoxServer).
