Update me please

That must be what the blog pleads me for the past years. Can you imagine, it is almost 3 years since the last update. I've been busy traveling and developing application. but it seems I have all the time in world (at the moment).

Over the years, I noticed that I've been using widgets not only for my blog, but in other devices with various kind of operating system too. I us it in Mac Pro, Mac Book Pro, Vista, Windows 7 and even in my phone. Of course some of it called differently like "Gadget" in Vista & Windows 7. I even develop my own gadget for my clients.

I like how they arrange widgets and it is fairly easy to navigate from one widget to another. User have to sign up as a member before allowed to subscribe any widget. This is how they track each widget subscriptions. You also can submit new widget to them if you want to plus you also have chance to create your own Blidget (Blog + Widget = Blidget) by simply using your blog URL.
