[NTLUG:Discuss] Comments on Red Hat Wealth Monitor

[Kendall Clark]

All,

I spent a few hours today coding up a Red Hat Wealth Monitor, which
fetches RHAT stock price and calculates some interesting numbers. The
goal here is to encourage Red Hat to give back value to the free and
open source communities in the form of development funds, i.e., like
they've been doing with RHADL, but, now that they have a new infusion
of some serious cash, on a grander scale.

Anyway, here it is:

I've not tested it with any values other than what RHAT closed at on
Friday, 85 1/4, so it'll be interesting to see if anything breaks on
Monday.

Btw, can I say how much I hate working with integers, floats, and
strings all to handle large sums of money? What a total pain in the
arse.

Best,
Kendall Clark
