Dans mon précédent billet Widgets : panorama et usages, j’annonçais, un peu imprudemment, une liste de prestataires capables de développer des widgets pour desktop, web, mobile ou iPhone. En fait, l’offre est assez disséminée, peu d’agences maîtrisant l’ensemble de la gamme et il n’est pas si facile d’identifier les acteurs de ce ou plutôt de ces marchés.
The first tool to create the prototypes of network and desktop applications!

Comment mettre à jour son Ubuntu (client et serveur) de Jaunty à Karmic en image
Well, most of the work is done by Earthdesk and GeekTool 3.
Earthdesk is set to Natural Color, Equirectangular projection, Natural Color, Real Moonlight, centered on Vienna, Background: Starfield. Zoom 80%, Clouds 80%, Brightness 80%.
In GeekTool, the times and the weathers are all separate Shell "geeklets".
Times are generated by running shell commands like
env TZ=Asia/Tokyo date " %l:%M %p"
every 20 seconds
The weather is the tricky part. The way I am doing it now, if I am not careful, gets me throttled for too many concurrent requests to the wunderground.com API server. It also fails badly if I am disconnected, so I will need to do it differently.
FWIW: I have a PHP script which I run as separate Shell Geeklets. I invoke it with the name of the city I want. It then hits wunderground and gets back an XML stream of the local weather, which I parse, format and echo. (the way I'd change this is run the script from cron, with a 30 second wait between requests, and cache the results locally, which I would then call from the Shell Geeklets)
From there it's just a question of setting fonts, sizes, colors and moving the little Geeklet boxes around as you want them.
A GeekTool like application that displays shell output and more directly on your desktop.

…while trying to upload an audio session to Livescribe Online, it may be that the session was recorded while writing in two or more physical notebooks. Livescribe Desktop is currently not able to upload sessions to Livescribe Online that were recorded while writing occurs across multiple notebooks.
Traduction concrète : au milieu d'une réunion, vous utilisez le stylo avec la calculatrice => aucune partie de l'enregistrement ne sera récupérée sur le desktop (qui ne verra même pas la session audio).
Typekit Makes Sites Pretty. That should be enough, but there’s so much more! In this episode, Ryan Carver and Greg Veen join us from Small Batch Inc., the makers of Typekit.
