DeskTask - Outlook desktop plugin

by Jason Clarke Mar 20th 2006

DeskTask is one of those "best of breed" standalone desktop widgets like Rainlendar that doesn't require an engine like the Yahoo! product formerly known as Konfabulator or DesktopX. DeskTask is simply a utility that will take your Outlook tasks and calendar information and put it right on your desktop. If you're one of those people that keeps their system uncluttered with windows, then this could be a very valuable addition to your desktop.

This is very nice.

It looks good alongside monitorApp, another minimalist background data app (http://www.desktopapps.co.uk/monitorApp.html)

Rainlender seems to work very nicely. Just tried the Yahoo! Widget Engine last week, and didn't really care for it at all.

good program but... how do i get the outlook data to appear in the bottom left-hand corner, instead of the top left-hand corner? i can't find a way to control where the outlook data is displayed on the desktop-bah!

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
