These days I've opted to invest money and went to my bank webpage in order to find the best option. As you can see, the webpage does not offer a good and quick overview of what happens and I don't want to fill my mind with numbers in order to compare options. Some sort/order, highlights and graphs would help me to see the big picture. All right, being a hacker I must admit it's more intersting to write an application than to deal with money... and looking at the web page source code it seems easy enough to parse it and use Eagle to view it.
It took me more to review the python re module, remember regular expression syntax and write the parser than to write the first GUI version, with a simple table (with column sort). In the end, adding graph support was really easy and I did one and my friend Elvis did another one in few minutes, the result (source code, requires Eagle from SVN) is pretty amazing:
