I’ve added some new error checking to keep from displaying ugly messages when the Twitter servers are not responding correctly, and added a logout button. There are some other changes, some minor cosmetics, and some cleanup that is invisible. Please, check it out! -> Add it to your iGoogle page

Twitter iGoogle Gadget - Progress
Filed Under internet, php, programming, social, twitter, web | Leave a Comment
I am really happy with my progress with the Google Gadget / Widget I’ve put together for Twitter. Today I decided to rewrite the app, incorporating some of the best pieces. What I did was re-implement the Twitter “friends time-line” in AJAX and modularize as
much as I could so that it would be a better user experience. Sorry…in English: I made it work better when new “tweets” show up, and made it easier for me to fix the app, and add features. If have a Google account and you’d like to check it out, click HERE!->Twitter iGoogle Gadget (32hours.com) UPDATE(06Jan08, 6:45am): I’ve fixed a bug for IE users. It now works in IE again. Also, working on a login page bug (please bear with the temporary ugliness!)

My Second Google Gadget - Twitter iGoogle Gadget
Filed Under internet, programming, social, twitter, web | 1 Comment
I’ve created another Google gadget for the iGoogle homepage. This one is for Twitter. Twitter is an interesting service, follow the link and check it out! I was not satisfied with any of the Twitter gadgets already on google, and there weren’t many. Of the few that were there, a good number of them did not even work for me, and the others didn’t allow for you to send updates to Twitter. Twitter iGoogle Gadget is now functional enough that I am using it. I will be making it look better, and adding features. My goal is to keep it usable as a gadget, and as a mobile Twitter client (I’m not terribly satisfied with Twitters own mobile version) No screeshot yet, but you can check it out by clicking the google link below:

Interesting. I made it to the Google gadget listings. I didn’t get a notification message from Google. Maybe it’s been there as soon as I saved the program to their hosting server? No matter - here’s a link to add my gadget to your iGoogle home page!

Amazon.com Top 10 App

This is still early in development. You can see the very raw output at http://www.32hours.com/at10. The goals I have for this application include a Google gadget that will show you a top 10 list of books, and let you click through to get more detail, and purchase.
If you are adventurous, you can add the gadget to your iGoogle page by choosing “Add Stuff,” clicking on the link “by url” and pasting in the following address: http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/106092714974714025177/at10-32hours.xml. The gadget will update as I work on it, no need to “upgrade”
