if you have a mac, with the tiger os, then you have dashboard which has all of the cool widgets with which you can access info.
and now, you can keep up to date with this site by downloading the widget for queerspace.com.
here’s the faq for the widget:
who can use this widget?  anyone with the tiger os on a macintosh computer.
how do i install it?  just download it and unzip it. the system will ask if you want to add it to the dashboard and you should say “yes”.
how many people will actually use this widget?  probably no one. few people come to this site in the first place, and most who do probably are on a pc, despite my best efforts to convince them otherwise. if you happen to install it, and it works for you, pleae let me know. it installs and works fine for me.
why did you make this widget?  i didn’t make this widget. stuart at 36 degrees design, who is much much smarter than i am, made this widget. all i did was rip it off, with his permission.
well, smartass, then why did you adapt this widget?  because i obsess over small things like this. i’ve wanted to do a widget since i learned that you could, and i couldn’t ever get fernando’s widget to work, which is my fault and no reflection on fernando, so i kept searching until i found someone who had a widget that worked for me, and i asked nicely if i could use it, and the lovely man stuart said yes.
why do you even bother?  because it makes me happy.
will there be a konfabulator version of this?  why bother?
can i use this on my pc?  no. buy a mac.
i’m going to try to submit it to the apple widget site as well, just to see what happens. i can’t imagine they’ll actually post it, but who knows?
update: apple posted the widget on their site! what a cool company. i’m impressed and amazed.
even better, it’s on the “just added” page, two places below dopewars, my all-time favorite time waster when i used a palm pilot.
