I has a Gadget!

Updated: There's now an official todoist gadget. It's all badass and todoisty. You probably want that one instead of mine. :)

If anyone uses Todoist for keeping track of tasks and goals, you might be interested in this. I wrote a Google Homepage Gadget to interface with your todoist account. Currently, it lists all the uncompleted items on all your projects, and allows you to add new projects. Unfortunately, it doesn't yet allow you to complete items on the list - a feature I hope to implement soon. But at least all your projects / todo's are there for reference.

Update: While we're waiting for Google to add this to the directory, in order to add this gadget:
  1. Go to google.com/ig
  2. Click on "Add Stuff" in the upper right.
  3. Click on "Add by URL" in small type next to the "Search Homepage Content" button.
  4. In the box that comes up, type in: http://www.atevans.com/gadgets/todoist_gadget.xml
  5. Click on "Add"
That's all there is to it! Thanks for using the gadget!

Widget Things


I made a widget! It's a command-line dice roller for D&D. If you use Mac OS X, download it here. I'll work on porting this to Yahoo! widgets and Google homepage gadgets if I feel like it.

Update 1/26/07: The widget has been updated to support subtraction and multiple dice. I'll keep updating if I find any more problems.
