Rover:
see the cute little clock flash program below?  I want to be able to pop it on my desktop somewhere without all of the IE Frame BS.  A little frameless flashplayer would be so cool!

2nd, how about a ping box?  My internet connection went down for a few minutes tonight and while I was diagnosing, I had to keep lookup up and typing ip addresses.  Would it be nice to paste an IP in a Ping Box and let it run until click it off?  I'd like to be able to have several IP's pinging and have a little button I could puch to cancel 1 or all.

Anyone?

nudone:
if you used media player classic to play the swf file you could just press the '1' key and you'll only see the swf playing, no buttons, etc.

crono:
Have you tried some of the "Widget" engines?

The new Version of Opera comes also with such an engine:

There are a lot more engines out there - German C't magazin had an overview article a few month ago - if I'm at home I could search it - if someone is interested...

BTW. this would be a great topic for a Review :)

But my windows is in portguese, which means i need you to send me a log file of what the ping command returns, both when it finds a host and when it doesn't.
My idea is: I could run something like:


--- ---run,ping.exe google.com > file.txt
And then, check the contents of the file, to see if the server could or could not be pinged. But for that, i need to know that ping.exe should return.

Rover:
yeah, I can TYPE ping -t 255.255.255.255 and watch the window.  What I wasn is to copy and paste from my Router Status screen to a box.  I get tired of going from keyboard to mouse and back.  One or the other please :)
