Blog, blog, blood

I was sitting in front of my computer last night, working on my latest widget, and i thought it was time to post something here too. You can't imagine how Manny times this last week i pressed the add New post button, only to hit ht back button once i wrote 2 or 3 lines, but not this time :smile: this time I'm gonna press the save button :D

Anyway, let us look around and see what we can talk about.
1) Well there is my new widget which will be something really new and interesting,but i still need to learn the how to use the widget prefs for it :frown: so it might not be done for Monday :cry:.
2) Then there is that whole competition thing :smile: I have submitted the comic Widget(that Word made) like 2 times already only to be beaten by "you-know-who", and while i can admit that his widgets are really interesting and look great, i still can't help not noticing the fact that they are not really useful. I mean sure you can play for like 2 hours at work, to make time go by faster...but what does it all amount to?I don't mean that the widgets or the creator is a bad thing/person, but they are not what widgets ar all about. In my mind widgets should provide some useful little services which otherwise would not be so easy to access. Like the Pandora radio, that is useful...kind of or the touchtheSky which is also useful(it can't find my city though :frown: ). But enough ranting about widgets,and there purpose.
3) I could also talk about work, and the fact that i mean kind of tired, but that would be too long of a post so will skip that :smile:


That's about ti for now, if i manage to finish my widget, which i hope will be the case, then i shall post again. The widget will have it's own little post detailing some things like:how to use it and on how to take the best part out of it and use it in your widget. :smile: Who ever sad that widgets can't read local files was surely not knowing what one could do with allot of time and some common sense :smile:

I would also like to invite everybody who is reading this to post a comment, so that i can estimate how big my audience is(bigger or smaller then 3 people :wink: ). You don't need to post something meaningfull just a "+1" would be enough :smile:

Thank you for reading this and be sure to check back in like 11 hours, when i think i shall post my widget related article :smile:

Work,work and more work

, , , ...

As of the 2nd of May i now work part time at a web development company, as a PHP coder :D which is a good thing, but this means that i have like no spare time. Anyway...i just wanted to download the fuzzy clock today, because i like need it :smile: and what did i see when i clicked the new widget's tab? I saw the Calvin and Hobbes widget. At first as i was a bit shocked...then i realised it is a bit selfish from my part to claim copyright over the Comics Widget, so i decided not to get angry at borjamari for modifying one line in my Comics Widget and the submiting it.
So anybody wanting to use/modify my widgets please be so kind as to say somewhere that it is based on my work so that i too can feel helpful.

So until i can find some free time to make the new Comics Widget please feel free to post any widget derived from it, but don't forget to say that it is based on my work.


And for anybody wanting to get their fav widget displayed in the Comics widget,just download it, unzip it and then find the line where it says:
img_url="http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/20"+y+"/ga"+y+month_str+day_str+".gif";

and replace that with the url of your favorite comic, and because most of the comics are displayed on a daily basis you will have to replace the
day with day_str
month with month_str
year with y, please note that in the widget y is 06 and not 2006, if you want to use 2006 instead of 2006 just add "20" to y as i did in the code above :smile:

So if you have something like
img_url="http://images.ucomics.com/comics/tmntf/2006/tmntf060504.gif";
then you shoudl replace 
2006->[b]"20"+y[/b]
06  ->[b]y[/b]
05  ->[b]month_str[/b]
04  ->[b]day_str[/b]
so it looks like:
img_url="http://images.ucomics.com/comics/tmntf/20"+y+"/tmntf"+y+month_str+day_str+".gif";

Have fun :smile:,hope this helps a bit.
