Not everything fits in an rss feed, so I have a Google Customized
Homepage (
http://www.google.com/ig) with a few gadgets for checking
things that don't fit in my feed reader. Today I decided to whip up a
quick Ecmanomic Monitor gadget to keep an eye on Ecmanomic--though
admittedly, it doesn't require much monitoring these days. :(
If you want to try it out, click here:

You add fields to monitor (like "Player.roster.abliss.score") and then
every time you load up the gadget, it fetches the game object and
tells you the latest value. You can also get tricky and do arbitrary
javascript like "Player.roster.abliss.when_lastSeen.substring(4,10)"
to see the last time I voted, or even 'x;var a=[];for(x in
data.Player.activePlayers()) {a.push(x)};a.join(", ");' to see a list
of currently-active players.
If you have any comments or suggestions, I'm all ears as usual.
Cheers,
