Yet another gadget for Google Desktop, this one lets you remotely interact with your Squeezebox devices via Slimserver and/or Squeezecenter. It kinda looks like this (well, in the unlikely event of you listening to Venetian Snares)
Download - Slimserver Controller v1.4.1 (For Squeezecenter 7.0 users)
Download - Slimserver Controller v1.4.0 (For Slimserver 6.x users)
I’ve created a gadget for Google Desktop, this gadget monitors your network usage in realtime and displays the upload & download rates, along with a running total.
Download - Net Meter Google Desktop Gadget v1.6.2
Note: This requires Google Desktop to be installed, and it will only work on Windows XP or later as it uses some newer WMI classes to get the information. Gadget has been tested on XP & Vista.
If you are running XP or Vista and you still see an error about “Win32_PerfFormattedData_Tcpip_NetworkInterface” when starting the gadget then please run the following command “wmiadap /f” and remove & re-add the gadget.

This is plugin I wrote for the Widget Sidebar in Wordpress. It will display your flickr photos in your blog’s sidebar.
It’s basically a wrapper round the badge functionality that flickr provide and publish. I’ve ported this from the Joomla module I wrote ages ago, it took no time at all and it’s working fine (see over on the right - my sad photos) - let me know if you run into any problems using it.
Download
Download the plugin here - Flickr Widget Plugin v1.0
Update
Dec 2007 - I’m no longer supporting or updating this code. I no longer use flickr, I’m no longer working with Wordpress and I have far too many other demands on my time. However by all means feel free to download and use my widget but I will not be able to help with any problems or deal with any feature requests. Sorry! The code is there for you to tweak/change etc if you want to.
Requirements
Wordpress 2.x or higher - http://wordpress.org/ (it might work on older versions but I’ve not tested it)
Sidebar Widgets Plugin - http://automattic.com/code/widgets/
Please install this plugin and get it working before installing mine.
Installation
Download and extract the flickr-widget.php file into your wp-content/plugins/widgets/ directory
Goto your wordpress admin pages and click on ‘Plugins’ activate the plugin called “Flickr Badge Widget”
Configuration
Goto your wordpress admin page and click on ‘Presentation’ then ‘Sidebar Widgets’
Drag the widget called “Flickr Badge” to your sidebar.
Click the square icon next to the widget to open the config screen.
The following options are available
| Widget Title: | The title that will appear in the sidebar, optional |
| Source: | Where to pick the photos from; can be a specific user, a group pool or all of flickr (everyone). Most people will select the “User” option to show their own photos |
| Flickr ID: | If showing photos from a user or group enter the ID here, Use http://idgettr.com/ to find your ID as it’s a bit hard to find by yourself. Note. This is NOT your flickr username, entering your username will not work. The ID will look something like 65706086%40N00 but don’t use that ID as it’s mine! |
| Tag: | Use this if the selected source is (Tag) to only show photos with this tag |
| Photo Count: | Number of photos to show |
| Layout: | Layout orientation of the photos |
| Which Photos: | How to select the photos to display; either randomly or the newest photos |
| Photo Size: | Size of the photos displayed in the sidebar |
| Alignment: | Alignment of the section (div) containing the photos |
I’ve been trying get a decent sidebar widget to display my Picasa photos on my WordPress blog for some time now. I found this one over at Vague Dream. It was working fine until I stumbled upon a few bugs:
I’ve found the source of all these bugs and fixed them! You can see the output of this fixed plugin here on this very blog; over on the right in the section called Pictures. So here is an updated version of the plugin…
NOTE. This plugin is not all my work, it’s simply a bug fixed version of the one at Vague Dream they did all the hard work of creating and writing the plugin.
