New Vista Sidebar Gadget – CoolShirt

Just finished messing around with a new gadget called CoolShirt, basically I built a service that finds cool shirts and adds them to a database, then the gadget queries the DB and displays a random shirt from that collection. Its fun, did it as a learning experience for a gadget I am building for work. Yes if you buy a t-shirt through the gadget I do get a commission. :) Anyway, have fun with it.

New Twitter gadget for Vista Sidebar

I finally got around to updating an sidebar gadget, I had been using a twitter gadget by Charles Schmidt, but the time was off and I wanted to be able to send direct messages from it. So I just wrote it. It receives all your statuses, allows you to send new status and also allows you to send direct messages. It doesn’t currently allow you to receive direct messages, but It will soon as I get around to building it. If you like it or have suggestion, write me a comment.
