Google Gadgets

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

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. - Topcoder Events list

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. - GScheduler

A simple event / reminder scheduler, add multiple friends, and get the reminder by chat!
- MD5 Generator

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:

Hey
I’m trying to get your Traslator for Google desktop to work but as soon as I start typing anything into the upper box the lower gives me a “Error! Hmm…Did you provide the right options?” message. Is is a soft bug? cause I got my x|x options correct.
waiting for a reply [craving some transl
],

Check this out http://www.googlepowersearch.com.
I created GooglePowerSearch so you can power search for Video, News, Maps, Images and more…
Google Power Search helps to unleash the built in power of Googles special features.
Using Google Power Search you are able to get better-targeted results.
Check out Google Power Search and let me know what you think.
Thanks

can we get the source code? (for topcoder event list)

Kaya:
The Translator.gg file itself is a ZIP archive. Rename the file to translator.zip and then extract it… You will find main.js there, which is the source code.
Hope this helps
