Distractions Galore

While reading halo.bungie.org I came upon a post that said a windows version of Konfabulator was released. For those of you who are Mac users you probably know what it is, but for those who don't or for PC users, it is a program that allows you have "widgets" which are little animation thingys on you desktop. For instance I have 4 on right now, one that tells me how many seconds I have been alive, one telling me about my CPU's performance, one telling me the weather, and one of the character Gir from Invader Zim dancing. So as you can see they go from useful to just fun. Now these widgets are constantly pulling power from your CPU but I am surprised by how little it does. Even on my crap ass 1 Ghz, 128 Mb of Ram computer, my computer runs just as slow as it normally does with out them. I recommend just trying it out, odds are you will like it. New widgets are created all the time and if you have the time and the skill, you can even make your own. You can download the program HERE.
