The gist of these questions is
that I want to use AmiBroker while travelling better than I am
currently.
I have an Antique Shop in
Virginia near Williamsburg for the last 10
years. The last 2 have been slower (we are in a slight recession here
especially for spendable cash purchases) ? so I have been travelling more and
enjoying the free time while it lasts. I often travel to go to auctions
away from my business for a few days in length - so some way to keep AmiBroker
running and working for me ?might be the ticket?. I have 3 employees but
the technical issues associated with all of this are too much for them to
insure my financial programs are running correctly. The best I can
expect from them is to turn on and off the computer and reboot.
Currently I have a Laptop and
Blackberry (limited minutes) that I use for a dial up modem when travelling or
on the boat. Several times a day while travelling, I dial up the
Internet and update AmiBroker database, run my routines, and make some
orders. I then logoff and go buy some junk and may be away for a
few hours. Sometimes when I repeat this process ? I get unpleasant
surprises after several hours with the market open. It would be nice to
see alerts on my cell and have AmiBroker running at my business far
away. Is there a better way?
I have been using AmiBroker for
the past 4 or 5 years.
I have seen an Email recently
(maybe from the Professor) that says he using a home computer to phone him up
on a buy or sell action. Question 1: Maybe he is using this AFL
Function AlertIF( Short, "What Application is being used? Something in Outlook
Perhaps.exe", "Launching external application", 3
);).
He then ?Dials into the Computer?
to verify things and finalize the transaction. Question 2: Would
PC Anywhere work or is there something better.
Slightly off topic here ? but
-----
This winter I will be traveling to
Germany, Hungary, Poland, and
Austria for business and skiing for a month.
I lived in Germany for 5 years 1985-1990 before
cell phones and this is my first trip back. I will have a cell that is
usable in Europe ? so I guess I will be able to update my AmiBroker
on the Laptop like I am doing now. Of course I will be going to the pubs
and coffee houses everyday and was wondering if they all have free WIFI.
I have never been to Eastern Europe so I have no idea.
Any help would be appreciated in
steering me in the right direction.
Best
Regards
Dave
