New widget now available - watchtheRoad!

Live UK traffic data provided by the BBC - view as a scrolling notification ticker, or browse through a list.
Detail of each event is available, and all events are plotted on a Google Map, allowing a birds eye view of the area.
Search for your house or office, and save that spot as a home location for all future use.

As you might know by now, touchtheSky is my entry in the Widget World Cup.

I was lucky enough to get through to the final phase, and now I need your help.

If you've haven't downloaded version 1.1, it would help me greatly if you could.

You can also now register your interest in ttSky by submitting a vote to Digg (log in required). This will help me greatly!

Edit: Now also available on Newsvine!

The first release of touchtheWire, a new website monitoring tool, is now available for download at the Opera Community site.

Warning: this currently only works in Opera 9 Beta 2. The latest weekly fixes a bug with selecting the refresh interval, but prevents widgets from accessing arbitrary web server, which is exactly what this widget needs to do. I'll update when this is fixed.

Touch the red wire, see if it's live! This is a flexible website monitoring tool - up to 10 pages at a time, configurable audio alerts, custom update frequencies and status reports.

Welcome to the new site, where I'll do my best to keep everyone up-to-date on development at touchtheNet Labs.

Here you'll find details of current widgets and web apps, and discussion of upcoming features. Please subscribe using your favourite feed reader to keep up-to-date of changes.
