At about the same time that I started this blog, I started twittering. (See that "Twitter Updates" on the right?) Its a neat idea and I am actually keeping up with it. I work on a Vista machine at work so I wanted to find a gadget that would twitter for me. I found Twadget and loved it. But there was one thing that annoyed me: If you started a twitter post in Twadget, but decided not to, there was no way to get the post form to go away unless you removed and readded the gadget! So, I fixed it.

Hooray for Norm!
What was .gadgets written in under Vista? Is it just javascript or does it use .net?
Err.. Rather.. What ARE Vista .gadgets written in? Too tired to make sense today, apparently.

They are written in JS with a small framework that you can use. The guy who origianlly wrote twadget used JQuery which I've never seen before. I really liked it caause it makes even driven JS really easy. The twitter stuff is standard XML posting, but I didn't have to touch that.
yea, jquery is pretty cool. I'm surprised you had not heard of it. You've heard of prototype though, right? Pretty cool stuff.
Yeah, prototype is the way to build (in a manner of speaking) object oriented JS. Which is what JQuery uses, all of M$'s AJAX code, etc. At some point I'm going to see if I can get JQuery and M$'s stuff to play nicely. I want to use the ASP.NET AJAX controls, but write my JS with JQuery.
