MyFirstWidget™
Having an ADC-select account, I have access to the latest release builds of Tiger.
On Easter-Sunday, I decided to do something usefull with my tiger-seed and downloaded the Dashboard SDK.
Being used to PHP, it took some frustrating tries with javascript, but some hours later I was looking at my first widget.
It basically uses Curl to fetch PHP generated content over a HTTPS connection.
Shown are the last five lines of a access-log from a webapplication.
It works like a charm and refreshes every time dashboard shows up, or with the command+r keycombo.
If Tiger is released and the NDA is lifted, I’ll probably post the widget for download…untill then, some screenshots:

the front, some content blurred for privacy reasons

and the backside, i simply love the animation :)
