Suggestions/Input for my Butt Out Widget
Thursday, June 14, 2007 by SirSmiley | Discussion: DesktopX
Wanted to here people's suggestions for one feature in this Widget I'm working on.
In the goals section you add up to ten goals with each goal having a dollar value, sort of an incentive
to "Butt Out".
The question is this. Currently, the progress is calculated very simply without taking other goals' value
into mind...like this:
Savings to date = $16.80
Goal 1 $8.40 so, you can pay for it
Goal 2 $16.80 so, you can pay for it
Goal 3 $33.60 so, you can pay for 50%
Goal 4 $67.20 so, you can pay for 25%
What I'm thinking of doing is calculating based on all the goals.
So, for example:
Savings $16.80
Subtract: Goal 1 $8.40
Remaining $8.40
Subtract: Goal 2 $16.80
Remaining ($8.40)
This would mean that Goal 2 would have 50% remaining
I hope this is clear. Just wanted to know what people's opinions are on this.

Thanks. I've uploaded but, didn't do a running balance.
Based on the one I've had in moderation since mid-May it should be available some time around August.

Your timing is impeccable, I really need to quit. The the fags don't kill me my wife will!
Good work.
