Dashboard Widgets I like the Dashboard a lot, I'd even like to expand the Dashboard to Spaces, so I could have a different dashboard on each Space. :-) As a programmer I'd naturally have ideas for the dashboard as well, some of which you find below.
Don't hesitate to contact me about problems or features you'd like to add. Enjoy!

Eyes 2: Homer Is Watching You |
 |
 Doh! I just realized how much cooler my original Eyes widget is, if Homer Is Watching You! ;-) Now you can have Homer watch your every (mouse-)move on your dashboard, ay caramba!
06/11/09 Version 2.13:
- finally found some time to add the snoring on/off button; if unchecked, Homer won't fall asleep and make snoring noises anymore.
03/20/08 Version 2.12:
- yet another bugfix concerning the volume control.
05/31/08 Version 2.11:
- bugfix concerning the volume control.
05/31/08 Version 2.1:
- added a volume control for the sounds on the back side of the widget; thanks to Ashley for your feedback!
03/20/08 Version 2.02:
- One of Homer's two hairs got cut off! Fixed that, thanks to Ed for mentioning it to me. :)
02/05/08 Version 2.01:
- improved compatiblity + CPU load for Tiger and below
- bugfix concerning sound playback
01/25/08 Version 2.0:
- Homer Doh!'s if you click him!
- Sometimes Homer falls asleep on your dashboard, you can wake him up with your mouse.

 Anybody else using their Macs as TV sets? Ever missed a sleep feature turning your maching off after half an hour or so? I did, so I programmed this little widget, which allows you to automatically turn off the Mac after 30, 60 or 90 minutes simply by clicking.
Left-clicking turns the sleep timer on, clicking it again increases the time til shutdown up to 90 minutes, or turns it off. You can also use the space bar. Version 1.2

Eyes |
|
|
 Do you know the eyes app that comes with almost every flavor of Linux? Two eyes follow your mouse's movements - hard to find anything more useless, but I like it. :p Always wanted to have'em on my dashboard, so I programmed them.
This is the first throw, they're working but there's some stuff I'd like to do e.g. ability to change skins. 01/14/08 Update 1.01: - See Eyes 2 update 1.01, should be PPC-compatible now!
