Re: [jQuery] Non-website usage: Twadget
On your site, you ask why Microsoft decided on 'four decimal places' for version numbers. This is a standard for most software, and since these widgets are likely to be changed and updated frequently, they probably thought it best that developers had better version control in their code. The four block version system is standard to most developers (not just MS devs - though Linux software has a tradition of dates).

Re: [jQuery] Non-website usage: Twadget
Hi Rod, Great to see jQuery being used in an inventive way. Have you any plans to makw this a web widget, as I'd love to use something like this on my site. As to the http Auth issue, would it be possible to make this into a plugin, so it would make the code cleaner, and it would be a great plugin to see to use some other services.

[jQuery] Non-website usage: Twadget
Just thought I'd send this out in case anyone's interested. I've used JQuery as part of a Windows Vista sidebar gadget I've built called Twadget (http://arsecandle.org/twadget/). It's a gadget that allows you to follow your friends' statuses (and update your own) on the rawkin' Twitter.com Since Vista gadgets are just zipped up HTML+Javascript, JQuery's a natural choice. It made event-handling and smooth UI effects a piece of piss. (Only downside? Twitter's API uses HTTP Auth, which JQuery doesn't support, so I had to do some half-assed hackery to make the AJAX calls) Rawk on you lovely JQuery types!
