Folks, i wrote a little Windows 7 (probably Vista too) Sidebar Gadget (http://code.google.com/p/discordian-calendar/downloads/list) to view the current discordian date.
It's still a bit beta, but should work proper. Improvement suggestions are welcome.
Cheers.
:fnord::1fap:
I had no idea I wanted this until it existed.
Ah, this is brilliant.
I'll let you know if it definetly works on vista or not when it's downloaded. I'm still behind the times.
ETA: Didn't think my computer would download it that fast. Workin' like a champ. Good stuff.
Someone made one for Android. I think I totally gave it a shit review and called its creator a Spag when I uninstalled it. :lulz:
Maybe I will now be able to understand what those spags on the interbutts are going on about when they start spouting Discordian dates at me.

Thanks for testing on Vista. It's just 27kb, should be no big deal for any kinda connection.
Just browsed the code, it's Javascript (JScript, to be exact), seems legit. XML manifest does state it requires "full" permissions, probably for ease of development. The code seems to do indeed nothing but calculate the Discordian Date, no funny stuff. I didn't try it, though.
Just saying, in case anyone was (rightfully) thinking "hey I'm not going to install some homebrewn piece of code from some guy I don't know", so now you can.
If it happens to fuck up your computer regardless I won't take responsibility though.
If it happens to make your computer really shiny and run 10,000x faster and get you laid a lot more, I won't hesitate to take responsibility.
