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
