java fun, and new sunscreen gui

[Philip Brown]

Some random little announcements:

1. After waiting waaay longer than I originally intended, I am now starting to
write an actually USABLE sunscreen GUI. A standalone one, that
does require you to run a webserver and a browser to do anything
with it.

Anyone want to help?


2. In support of this, I have made an interesting little java component.
I call it a "Listor" class. It's AWT based, so is small, fast, and
will run on just about anything.
It displays "lists" of lines. But unlike the java "List" class,
it assumes that each line has column-based sections.

It is reminicent of the line-based official applet "GUI" for
sunscreen... except that it actually lets you resize columns

See

for source code, and an actual applet demo of it, or a screenshot.


Anyone is free to use it for other projects. But if you do, it
would be nice to let me know, just so I have a feeling that it is
actualy useful to someone else.

Oh fer... I cant believe I wrote "does require..."

what I meant, of course, is


"A standalone GUI that does NOT require you to run a webserver, OR a
browser, to adminster sunscreen."
