Welcome to Infix Technologies. This is where you can go to get my latest and greatest software tools and utilities, and keep up on what I am working on.
If you want some of the info that hasn't moved over yet from my old web site, it's still here.
Both PingGraph and GPSMonitor have been updated as of August 16, 2010 and are hosted on this site. Take a look to see what they can do!
You can also visit the blog to see what's going on. Here's a handy RSS feed:

I just put an update up for download, version 3.0.0.1.I needed to fix date parsing on the message of the day for Eropean customers which use day/month/year instead of month/day/year. It broke the message of the day parsing code.Also, I added several more error messages in case things go wrong. It should give you a reason why if it stops working. Thanks for your patience as I work through these

Have you ever tried to store data in the application properties in C#? It has some really slick abilities to store settings for you. I use it for window sizes and things like that. All you do is add data to your settings (usually found in Properties/Settings.settings in your project), then reference them. You start off by getting your application set up to use settings with this "using" statement

I've gathered all my recent updates, got everything working, and have published the new version. New features:Scans just the actual com ports available on the system. No more wondering if going up to com25 is far enough. This should make it connect a lot faster.Override on the baud rate is possible on a new "Overrides" tab. Let me know if you can think of anything else to override.Average

Oh, you tricksy Europeans. I forgot to take into consideration that you might use something besides my localized US English numeric representation for latitude and longitude. GPSMonitor is expecting something like this, which is the default location if you have no GPS hooked up:latitude = 40.522longitude = -111.958And some of the GPS systems out there have been trying to feed this format to my

I've received a request to increase the range of COM ports that GPSMonitor scans, so the next update will include scanning up to COM15. Yeah, someone has their GPS at a double digit com port. While I'm at it, I may also allow it to be set to something besides the default 4800 baud. If you have a request, drop me an email.Based on my web logs, a bunch of you are testing out the application with no

Well, I decided to go ahead and wrap up the initial release of GPSMonitor, my windows-based GPS data monitoring and translation tool that makes NMEA string data easily readable. Go ahead and give it a try!

I've put a bit more work into the site, getting it ready for upcoming software releases. The map for GPSMonitor now has controls on it, and it allows for the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. I've filled out a lot more on the GPSMonitor page, getting rid of the filler paragraph. I still need to get a screenshot or two so I can put them on the page.I'm going to set up GPSMonitor with a PAD file and

The site redesign is going well, but is a bit slow due to Real Life continuing with its demands. I'm putting in the functionality I want on the site , then I will worry about making it look nicer by adjusting colors, logos, fonts, and all that fun stuff before declaring it live. I'm experimenting with doing the whole site as php files so I can include interesting things like RSS feeds and google
