Fun with widgets
I've been having a lot of fun with Rob Cooper and
Joshua Marinacci's
AB5k
Widgets for the World system.
It's vaguely like Mac OS X's Dashboard, Vista's Sidebar, and Yahoo's Widgets, except that it works
everywhere: OS X, Solaris, Linux, Windows (Vista, XP, 2000, ...).
Anywhere Java runs. It also lets you use all the Java APIs: 3D, networking, all of it...
Very cool.
