k, so I've been quiet lately, cos the boss is giving me a hard time about being on KB so much. But I've got no work to do really. So I've been 'furthering' my skills and learning about Widgets (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/dashboard/) (explained in the link), and since I thought it'd be a good starting point, I built a KB one.

Only a short post, cos the boss is coming back. I know there's only a few OSX users, so have a play and let me know what to do for V2.

Unfortunately it's only Mac OSX for the moment. But I might have a go at converting it to use Yahoo Widget Engine (http://widgets.yahoo.com/) (or used to be known as Konfabulator) which is Mac and PC

yeah, forgot it narrows down the field even more to 10.4 KB users!!

Hopefully Konfab will help me there..

Updates I've thought of so far, is more regular updates or update on load, blog feeds, and try to cut down on the text a little on the preview

tis only V1 after all..
