Google Reader notifier [Dec. 5th, 2007|10:57 pm]

Screenshot of the systray icon The bad news is I have a mysterious ear-blocking toothachey lurgy. The good news is I finally got around to hacking together a Google Reader notifier in 66 lines of Python to sit in my GNOME system tray and light up when I have new items. At the moment, that's all it does and configuration is a matter of editing the script. Improvements (browser launching, config UI, Free images) to follow in my copious free time. It does at least mean I don't now have to keep Firefox open to keep an eye on Reader (my previous monitor for it was a Firefox extension). :-) If you use GNOME, please do take a look, poke holes, send patches (I should be so lucky) etc.
