Ubuntu Time/Date Widget
I’m still nowhere near ready to drop Mac OS X and use Ubuntu GNU/Linux as my primary operating system, but it is quite handy for that 5-year-old 1.0 GHz Dell system (which previously would not boot at all, but seems to have healed itself). One of the little things that it actually does quite better than OS X out of the box is its date widget, in the upper-right corner. Even without doing anything, it conveys a lot of information. Date, time, and day of week… just about everything you could ask. But what’s even better is when you click it… it shows you a calendar view. So if you’re on the phone and someone says “how about September 5th?” you can, in two clicks, know that September 5th is a Tuesday.
Apple, are you listening? How about an iCal-integrated version of the same?
