Per Browncoat request, a Java widget...
Sunday, February 27, 2005

This is a picture of a 'widget' I made at the suggestion of a poster over on the General Discussions board. This thing runs on a really neat little Java frontend called Konfabulator ( http://www.konfabulator.com/ ). The widget's a counter to the movie. 18 KB small. you will need the free konfabulator to run it. It's all xml and java; nothing but get dates and calc, draw windows through doc interface. Looks perfectly safe (simple). If you'd like one, I can email the gizmo to ya'. BlueSun won't take anything but pictures (widgets are zip files containing graphics and plain-text config files). Enjoy... -zed

Thanks, zoid. I apologize for taking so long to respond; I was investigating Konfabulator. Your original post says that there's a free version -- I couldn't find one. The full shareware version is US$25.

Anyway, this is a cool applet. Why don't you upload it to the Konfabulator site? They already have a counter to HG2tG.

Serenity Day Countdown timer
This is a capture of my desktop, with the Serenity Day Countdown timer displayed. You'll need the *free* Yahoo! Widget Engine (from widget.yahoo.com) to run it. The widget is fully configurable and reusable (just reset the message and countdown date from the widget's Properties submenu).

Unfortunately, I can't put the widget itself up here in the BlueSun Room. It's only 128 KB, smaller than this accompanying picture; but the site won't allow a ".widget" filetype to be uploaded. Code-wise, it's pure XML and Java, so not to worry.

So, you'll have to email me in order to get it, and give me a return email address that accepts attachments. A necessary evil, at this point. If someone wants to host the little thing so that everyone can get a copy via straight download, that would be groovy by me (just let me know first, okay?)

Serenity Countdown Widget, Final Version
This is a picture of the final 'widget' I made at the suggestion of a Darksyde over on the General Discussions board. These run on a cool little Java engine called Konfabulator ( http://www.konfabulator.com/ ). The widget's a counter to the movie. 106 KB for the widget attachment (about the same size as this picture).

You will need the free konfabulator to run it. It's all xml and java; it gets system and input dates and calculates, then draws windows through doc interface. Looks perfectly safe (simple); snippet code from apple.com. If you'd like one, I can email the gizmo to ya'. BlueSun won't take anything but pictures (widgets are zip files containing graphics and plain-text config files).

Amateur retouch of Serenity Image
Found at UIP Netherlands site, http://www.uip.nl/serenity.html . Resized (not enough pixel depth to do a good job, IMO) as far as I could take it. Adjusted contrast, brightness, hue/saturation, etc.

If nothing else, you can get a better idea of wardrobe...


Movie banner I posted at the NOB, v. 2 (small)
Text only, for now, because of file size limitations at the NOB (21K? Who's working a 14Kbps creeper at Paramount?). This is the little file NOB got.

Still, it capsulizes what I have always found most appealing about the show, from its inception...
