OINK Dashboard Widget
OINK has an XML-RPC interface for "remote control" (e.g., an external application can instruct OINK to load a data source). It is also possible to get some basic data - the status of the cache, effectively.
I wanted to experiment with building a MacOS X Dashboard Widget. What better way to do this than to build a special widget to show the status of OINK's cache. The finished widget basically makes an XML-RPC call from JavaScript to OINK, gets back a struct with various status data, and fills an HTML table with this data. The whole thing took less than one hour to build.
OK, so I went a bit crazy with PhotoShop when editing the background graphic...
