I'm still working on the CPU/GPU Thermometer Widget for Yahoo/Xwidget engines but occasionally an idea comes to mind and if it is worth pursuing then a dalliance is allowed. In this frame of mind I have opened an old icon PSD file that I had earlier created and have organised it so that it can be made into a widget. The idea is that each drawer on the filing cabinet can be hovered over or clicked upon and the drawer will open and inform you which folder each drawer refers to. A double click will open the respective folder. Think of it as a replacement for Explorer, a steampunk version of a file explorer.
The gauge may display CPU as an aside and the bulbs on the top will glow according to the network adapters that are present in the system, glowing in strength according to the signal each adapter receives. Ethernet adapters being permanently connected will glow brightly whilst wireless adapters may glow dimly. That's it, just a germ of an idea at the moment but I have knocked up the initial widget and it sits on my desktop as I write this.
It will make a useful addition to a steampunk desktop.
Of course it will be both a Yahoo widget and Xwidget but give me a short while as I have a few things to do.

Deviantart surely is an awful place these days!
I just briefly tried to return to DA after an absence of a year or so from DA and I find it is just as bad as I feared. The Eclipse project really was that, bringing DeviantArt's usefulness to an end. A darkness, an ending, an eclipse to the brightness that once was. The site is SO slow. Editing is terribly painful, navigating feels as if you are walking with an anvil attached to your leg. I had been keeping a few of my old blogs updated but I feel it is time to dispense with DA altogether and create my own site where I am not weighed down with the crap that has been layered onto poor old DeviantArt. My poor Intel i7 and 64mbs line wasn't enough for DA, it is as slow as any site I have ever visited on the internet. Like meeting an old girlfriend who hasn't aged well, DA is looking and feeling old, dark and tired round the eyes after all that plastic surgery. Well, at least it is has spurred me onto better things. TTFN DA.

You'll be in good company...
