My first Apple Dashboard Widget

# on March 19th 2007 at 8:18 pm in Computers & Hardware, Software

This weekend I wrote my first Apple Dashboard Widget because of a number of reasons;
- I wanted to get acquainted with the OS X Dashboard Widget stuff,
- I needed something to control my MythTV front-end because I wanted to be able to control it from my laptop because I so often loose the remotes and I have a flaky wireless keyboard that somehow suffers from the interference of my wireless network which basically renders it useless.

So I took some time out to write this widget that now enables me to use my MacBook as a very expensive remote control:

If you are thinking about downloading it, please note that this version (0.2) is the first public release and although the code has been cleaned up a bit, there may surely be some issues with it.

Apple, OS X, Widgets, MythTV
