"Firefly" Widget
Hey there OS X Tiger users. I've made my first Widget. (As you can see, this Serenity countdown widget was my inspiration.) It isn't all that spectacular, and I don't want to spend a ton more time on it, but I'm hoping some of you can make small suggestions that would improve it a bit more with fairly minimal effort. ;-) Download it at http://carole.fates.org/FireflyQuotes.wdgt.zip. Please 1.) don't give out the URL to random folks not on my f-list, and 2.) give suggestions/constructive crit. here in the comments. Thanks.
P.S., Important Debugging Notes:
Note that the eventual point is to display a new quote every day for 60 days, counting down to the release date of the movie on September 30th. On that day the zero-th array member will display a quote from Joss: "We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty!"
However, for debugging you'll notice that the quote is currently keyed to the second-hand on your watch (er, digitally), since seconds are also a convenient 60-parcel amount. This allows you to see all the quotes, pretty much -- out of "order" of course, since iterative displays of your Dashboard will show quotes counting up the array instead of down.
We have 39 days to debug this puppy, so let's get crackin'! (Here's hoping for my sake that Universal doesn't up the release date, although part of me hopes they do.)
