My Google Gadgets

August 18, 2006

There was a recent Google Desktop Gadget competition, wherein I coded and submitted four Gadgets

  1. Translate
    Equivocate

    A simple gadget, that uses Google’s Translate server. Google hasnt released APIs for this service, but this is a small hack to get it going.
  2. Topcoder Events list Topcoder Shaastra
    This gadget parses the Topcoder’s Calendar page, and lists all events of that month. It was a pretty tough job parsing HTML with regular expressions! But, amazingly, it worked.
  3. GScheduler
    GSheculer Durbatuluk

    A simple event / reminder scheduler, add multiple friends, and get the reminder by chat! :)
  4. MD5 Generator
    MD5 zeppelin

    A MD5 checksum generator of a file. Just drag n drop. Uses the freely available C code written by RSA Security, released to public.

All gadgets can be found here:

Most important, Firefox!

All you webdevs out there would surely use it, but this is for the others.

Firefox is the browser. The shaastra website renders perfectly in it, the pictures of Zeppelin look fantastic on it! Hehe :)

Get Firefox!
