SatTracker was an application for a Graphical User Interface design project at Drexel, however it turned out to be a rather functional application. SatTracker connects to a NMEA compatible GPS unit via serial port and monitors the visibility, movement, and strength of the GPS satellites used in determining the units position.
The application uses a multithreaded approach to monitoring GPS messages, user input via the GUI, as well as the updating of the display, as these events occur in real time.
WeatherApp was created because, at that time, there were no freely available (ad/spy)ware free weather monitoring applications available on the internet.
Weatherapp runs in the system tray and periodically retreives current local weather as well as forecasts for the next five days.
Initially this application was based off of InterceptVector's freely available weather XML system. However since that service is no longer available, I will be converting the application over to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's new XML weather feed service.
