A basic version would be brilliant!  The way it works now would be perfect for the "Basic" version.

Yes, if there are not appearing any new errors, or any suggestions for this level, I´ll let it like it is. ;-)

We are already talking about your alarm tool in the other threads, like the "Rally" thread.  

Oh yes? I am going to have a look at it.

while afk a few hours ago I was alerted by the joyous sound of bulls roaring at a price over $7, have just sent a 1 BTC donation in celebration, many thanks Jessi!

The joyous sound of bulls... or milked dairy cows...

Thank you very much! Nice to hear.

Made a very little update:
- changed the default back to more useful 10 Seconds
- changed the Bear-Sound to a newer one
- a little bug fix inside the code

Yeah, that new Bear sound is intense, nice. If the Man-Eating Grizzly alarm doesn't get you out of your BTC position, I don't know what will.

So far, Jessi, it is running smoothly on my Firefox, no hangups, pauses today. Has consistently price changed with other MT Gox related charts/tickers, even faster than some. Good job.

cool, my preference would be to have the sounds on by default & for peeps to silence them with a click X if they wanted silent/just visual mode otherwise one may think one has set up an audio alert when one didn't, but I'm used to checking that now so whatever works for the majority is fine by me

& later on options to choose an alarm type sound like the NE NE NE NE kinda sound of a intruder security zone breach, maybe there's something here?

edit: the klaxon for Dive Dive would be cool to have to set for big price plunges
edit: Star Trek Red Alert
edit: Industrial Alarm

this to be available for high or low as a red danger warning on your long or short positions say, for margin calls, incoming zhoutongs etc

& some particularly ebil sound for when the BTC price has given you a thorough zhoutonging - perhaps an ironic evil laugh or mocking

then for a 'money rung up on the cash till (registrar)' bling type sound for when you wish to just know that your position has made a nice few pips up or perhaps a bundle, also maybe a phew! sound to set for when your position on Bitcoinica has finally eaten the spread & gone in to the green at last

anyway - fab app!

Thank you. Same on my side. I watched and compared it the whole day, and yes, sometimes it was faster than other services and I did not have any hangups, too.

Ok. I´ll see what I can do in next versions. Sound choosing could be next feature. Anyway I guess I need some days to release, because I have to care a bit about my time (and my clients!).

[Otoh]

cool as & no rush for any tweaks as it's fab as it is

I have to say thank you, for all those good Ideas, the wishes and also for the donations!

you might like to take a look at kitco's app, it would be fab to have something similar for bitcoins (I requested it a while back) & if combined with your alarm function would be a big winner, also this alarm function ability if added to kitco's app would be very, very popular with their clients I'd imagine & perhaps they'd buy/lease the coding from you?

I slept through the alarm.

lmao... bug!

[StewartJ]

I slept through the alarm. 

Just plug in a 500 Watt Pioneer stereo system to your PC speaker out...that should do the trick.

I have a Logitech Z305 plug-in laptop speaker which cranks the sound.

thx for the tip.  just downloaded the Android version.

Jessi, you should make an Android version too!

I write it down into the bug list.
Or is it a feature?

Hmm, ok. good Idea... Maybe a case for Adobe AIR? I have to do a closer look next days when I have a bit more time, at this app...
Thanks for the tip!

Jessi, more feedback on your tool.

So far so good, not a single pause or delay. Alarm's worked splendidly for me last night and today.

A suggestion for a minor improvement:
The Refresh Rate entry field is probably not necessary or could cause issues. Let me explain.

The 10 setting for refresh rate appears to be working very well, as per my testing and with other feedback., Also you had mentioned this refresh setting is based on Mt Gox's optimal API refresh requirements.

Because this tool is an alarm for BTC price change, and since the very most current price is needed at all times for this alarm to be worthwhile, having a user set refresh rate run longer than the optimal setting seems self-defeating. Someone could lose their shirt, or miss a buying opportunity if they can't react quickly enough to the most current price.

Since it is running so well at the default setting, if not faster than other Mt Gox Price charts/feeds, I would recommend that you simply remove this option altogether. I could see someone going and accidentally adding a zero for 100 seconds, or going below the optimal refresh rate which probably would not help anyway (as per Mt Gox API recommendations?).

I would simply leave a line that states "Set to optimal refresh rate of 10 seconds". Or perhaps, remove the refresh rate option for just the Mini-Window version?

Let me know your thoughts.

Glad to see your donations for the Alert Tool are growing; certainly well deserved.
