GD’s Latest Gadgets Sidebar

Today (27th Feb), early in the morning I saw this blog post on Google Deaktop APIs blog regarding the newest rss feed on the Gadget Gallery. Few Seconds later I started creating a Firefox extension using this feed and finally after several hours of development I managed to ended up in sandbox. :)

So I proudly announce my first ever Firefox extension (which I submitted to sandbox), 'Google Desktop's Latest Gadgets Sidebar'. ;)

If you have a mozilla account and sandbox access please feel free to checkout my FF extension.

And if you don't have sandbox access please use this direct link to the xpi.

(Min version FF 1.5 - Max Version FF 3.0b4pre)

There are lot of improvements to be added and I'm working on a new nice GUI, too.


Comments , Suggestions are highly appreciated..!

Thanks.

RMS @ SRI LANKA | SLIIT

I should have been writing this post long time ago but unfortunately I got hacked by an biological virus and was on bed for couple of days. ;)

Well, RMS, Father of Free Software! paid his visit to Sri Lanka. kinda old news so you might already know more about it. Though it made me to stop writing the same thing again and again, the good news is I also could be able to attend the event + have some photos to share (a very few)... :)

It was a great chance to know about Freedom + GNU from his own words, and I must say the speech was simply awesome.

Checkout my photos @Picasa.

And the blog post by bud will cover almost everything about the visit.. :)

Finnaly A BIG Thank for ICTA - SLIIT and every single figure who supported to bring this greatest person to the land..!

Cheers!
