GoGoPlot Helps You Create Graphs To Keep Track On Almost Anything You Do

Have you ever made use of simple point-to-point graphs? You will be surprised with how useful they can be. Imagine yourself at the doctor’s. You are there because of your backache. The doctor asks you about how severe the backache has been the past week. You show him a graph on which you have plotted the pain degree of every day. It can be immensely helpful to your doctor.

Such point-to-point graphs can be easily made using GoGoPlot.

GoGoPlot is a free to use website that helps create graphs. The graphs have very basic plotting options. You select one point for each day; the value of each point ranges between 0 and 10. The points are joined by straight lines. This simple procedure can help express a number of things graphically.

Suppose you want to record how your mood was through the entire week. All you need to do is create a new graph, name it, and start recording. While creating a plot you can either record a point a day or enter all the values in simultaneously.

After setting your options you can record each value.

Through this way you can obtain graphs of anything you want and review them. You can view multiple graphs simultaneously; they are differentiated by separate colors.

Apple device owners can get GoGoPlot’s app from the App Store and record their plots on the go.

Overall, the service is quite an interesting concept and will surely benefit a good number of people.

7 Tools And Applications To Help You Save Electrical Power

Leaving our appliances on while we are not using them is a terrible waste of electrical power. There are parts of the world that do not have electricity at all; we should do our part to respect the resources we have and save them whenever / wherever we can.

Below you will find a list of 7 tools to prevent wasting electrical power. I believe that each entry in the list serves a useful purpose; read about each one and choose the one (or more than one) that suits you best.

If you want to share more tools that can Save Electrical Power so please comment about them below. Do you want to be the first one to know the latest happenings at  smashingApps.com just subscribe to our rss feed and you can follow us on twitter.

1. MonitorOff

MonitorOff

MonitorOff is a freeware application that lets a user fully control when his / her monitor turns off. CRT monitors in particular take up a lot of power. The operating system usually has built in time durations for the screensaver to begin or for the monitor to turn off. But these settings will take a little longer to reach; with MonitorOff we can access / modify al time durations and even setup hotkeys. The application is for Windows and sized at nearly 400KB. Click here to get MonitorOff.

2. SetPower

setpower

SetPower is a unique power management application for Windows that lets us set three different power plans: Balanced, Power Saver, and High Performance. We can edit the details of these plans (such as when the monitor will turn off) as well as assign the times when these plans will come into effect. For different hours of the day, we can assign our computer with different plans, according to our usage. Click here to get SetPower.

3. AppliancesEnergyUse

AppliancesEnergyUse

AppliancesEnergyUse lists the power input of almost 50 household appliances. By finding out how much power we are using simultaneously we can see if we are wasting energy. We can also set a personal power goal for ourselves and vow to never cross that wattage at a given time. Whether or not we are crossing our goal can then be determined by AppliancesEnergyUse. Click here to visit AppliancesEnergyUse.

4. Edison

edison

Edison is an installable application for Windows. It offers the same features as SetPower, with multiple power schemes that can set to be implemented on different times of the day. An additional feature of the application is its ability to estimate the power we are saving and use the electrical unit price to calculate our savings. We can enter our own price was more accurate results. Click here to get Edison.

5. HomeEnergySaver

HomeEnergySaver

HomeEnergySaver is a free to use website that lets us answer a few question to learn our electrical power usage pattern. It then suggests ways in which we can reduce our power usage. We can view the report of each of these suggestions and see how much each would cost. Click here to visit HomeEnergySaver.

6. Microsoft Hohm

microsoft-hohm

Hohm is Microsoft’s version of HomeEnergySaver. It requires users to have a Windows Live ID to register for an account before visitors can use the site’s services. Once the account is formed, we answer elaborate questions so that Hohm can fully understand our power usage patterns. We are then presented with suggestions of how we can cut back on our electrical power usage. Using Hohm’s service is free but restricted to users in the US. Click here to visit Hohm.

7. FuelCharts

fuelcharts

FuelCharts is a free to use website. We can use the site to enter our electricity bills’ amounts over a two years’ period. Bar graphs are created of each bill. These bars provide us with a good enough comparison of our last year’s energy usage and this year’s energy usage. We can change electricity with anything we like (oil, biodiesel, etc.) and achieve an energy comparison for various resources. Click here to visit FuelCharts.

PocketSmith: Online Calendar To Manage & Forecast Cash Position

People with a lot of money hire financial advisors to monitor their spending and point out the rights and wrongs in that spending. The money that is saved from correcting the wrongs is then invested into potentially profitable ventures to benefit the client.

However the percentage of people who are that rich is considerably low. Most people are like me, not rich enough to hire external help. We have to manage our own finances and catch our own mistakes. Doing this single-handedly can be quite a task; an extra bit of help can end up benefiting us a lot.

PocketSmith is a free web service and one of those “extra bits of help” which we can employ to manage our finances. It basically acts as a calendar which we can feed our expenses in and which can forecast our future cash positions.

Once we sign up for a free account, we can start feeding in our budget and begin creating expense events.

pocketsmith

These expense events can be any financial event: our salary date, dates of bills to be paid, etc.

We can then specify which of these events will be recurrent; PocketSmith will use this information to generate to 6 or 12 month cash forecast.

pocketsmith1

The forecast is what helps us plan our budget for the upcoming year. We can make the necessary deductions to our financial events and know what needs to be done to stay within our budget.

Just like we balance our checkbook at the end of month, we can use PocketSmith to juxtapose our expenses with our income.

pocketsmith2

The expenses versus income figures can greatly help us in staying within the limits of our budget. More reliable figures can be gotten by uploading our electronic bank statements and such. The more we share with PocketSmith, the more realistic the resultant figures will be.

We can check the figures per-day-wise for the upcoming year and know if there even a single day on which our cash flow is going in the negative.

PocketSmith is a remarkably friendly tool for computer users that can help planning our budget effectively.

Need Interactive Charts For Your Personal Website? Try Highcharts

If you have a non-commercial website and you need to add charting capabilities in your website, Highcharts may suit your needs.  Highcharts is a free charting control developed purely with Javascript so that you can show interactive charts on your website.  Since its purely developed with Javascript, you don’t need any special server side technologies like ASP.NET or PHP and no client-side plug-ins are required like Flash or Silverlight.

Highcharts is dynamic in nature. With the support of jQuery and Ajax API, you can dynamically set axes and points of charts at runtime, hence making Highcharts an excellent choice for demonstrating real-time data like Stocks and Forex.

It works with all major web browsers including iPhone and supports a number of chart types, such as:

Implementing Highcharts just require some basic understanding of Javascript and you don’t need to be an expert programmer having special programming skills in specific languages.  The syntax is very simple and the integration is almost seamless.

In addition to all this, Highcharts gives your website an enhanced user experience with interactive moving charts with cool designs and eye-catching colors.
