** Update 2008 **
Please note that the last time is spent time on my widgets was in 2006, a lot has changed in several areas like OS X, Tools, etc, and I haven’t updated anything on this page since that time

Whenever I have some time I (try) to create apps/widgets that I think might be useful. I have no experience in programming apps I decided to start with widgets since they mainly work with javascript and html. Please see these apps are more the ‘by-product’ of a learning experience and not per-se a usefull app 🙂 . Please feel free to comment, discuss, improve, criticize, etc. my work. Any comment is appreciated.

Language Dictionary Widget V0.1
Simple Widget for looking up words in several websites. Type in a word and it opens the selected website where it looks up the entered word. This version is based on my previous Van Dale Widget.

Features:

• Lookup words on Cambridge Dictionary, Encarta, Merriam-Webster, Oxford Dictionary, Van Dale Woordenboek and Wikipedia
• English and Dutch localization.

Improvement(s) I would like to make in following versions are mainly:

• Having the results come up within the dashboard environment instead of opening up a browser
• More websites
• Add german localization
• Less ‘generic’ layout
