Airlook 4.0
Airlook is Mac OS X widget which displays Airport Express Base Station information.
The widget makes use of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) which Airport Base Stations offer, as a mean to inspect internal information. What the widget displays is actually a small subset of what can be retrieved using the SNMP commands.
Under normal conditions, the following information is displayed:
• Name: the device name
• Uptime: the time elapsed since the last reset
• TCP reset sent: represents the number of TCP Reset sent by the Airport station. When using Airport in combination with a ADSL modem, this represents the number of incoming TCP connection received from public Internet and being refused by Airport. Of course, if the ADSL modem already implements firewalling, this value may equal 0.
• Octets received: this value is relative to the Ethernet interface of Airport
• Octets sent: this value is relative to the Ethernet interface of Airport
• Wifi users: represents the number of Wifi users being associated to the Airport. This should at least be equal to 1.
From the V2 version of Airlook, the information is refreshed periodically every 2 seconds. The widget content is also updated when Dashboard is put to front (e.g. by using "F12" or by clicking on the dashboard dock icon).
Some parameters need to be set up for the widget to work properly. The input screen is the back side of the widget, which is displayed when clicking on the bottom right "i":
• The Airport IP address
• The configuration password (the same the the one used with the Apple Airport Configuration tool)
The parameters need only to be specified once. When being entered, they are stored as part of the widget preferences.
In case the parameter values are not correct, the widget will obviously not work as above. For more information on erroneous case and the possible workaround, please have a look to the readme file.
System requirements
• Mac OSX 10.4.3 and above
• An Airport Express (although it may also work with other Wifi devices implementing SNMP)
New in version 4.0:
• displays detected Wifi users.
System requirements:
Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later.

Hardware Monitor Widget Edition 2.1
Hardware Monitor Widget Edition is the Dashboard version of its "bigger brother" Hardware Monitor. You need a working registered copy of Hardware Monitor in order to fully use this widget. The applications are designed to give you access to all sensor readings Mac OS X uses to monitor and cool your computer.
The widget allows you to select two of your computer's sensors which should be displayed via Dashboard.
Unlike other widgets, Hardware Monitor is capable of processing the hardware calibration data Apple stores individually into each G5-based computer. So it displays the exact readings Mac OS X internally uses for cooling control, not just an "educated guess".
Hardware Monitor Widget Edition is electronically distributed software. You can download the product and test it before you decide to purchase an unrestricted usage license.
New in version 2.1:
• Added support for a large number of voltage, current (amperage), power, and light sensors for Intel-based Macintosh systems.
• Added full support for the new Apple Xserve Quad Xeon.
• Added support for S.M.A.R.T. temperature sensors in SATA drives connected via an SAS bus.
• Removed support for the internal Intel CPU sensor monitoring the target value of the core voltage. This is now superseded by the voltage sensors monitoring the actual core voltage supply.
• The button to start the main application was removed.
• The sensor menus on the preferences backside have been enhanced to better differentiate between sensors measuring different quantities at the same location.
• The rounding of readings from frequency sensors of x86 processors has been updated according to Intel's recommendations.
• Corrected a problem where a memory sensor in portable Core 2 Duo systems was misidentified as being a memory riser-card sensor.
• Corrected a problem where the internal temperature sensor of Hitachi Deskstar 7K500 drives was no longer seen as functioning sensor.

SigAlert Traffic Maps Widget 1.2.3

Using the maps from SigAlert.com, the following cities/regions are currently supported:
Inland Empire (San Bernardino), Los Angeles (greater LA, West LA, and East LA), Orange County, Phoenix, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, Ventura
The widget can be resized and allows panning of the map so that you can focus on the data you are interested in (settings will be stored for each instance of the widget).
Pointing the mouse over any speed dot or incident icon will display a popup with additional details - pointing the map over a camera icon will display a live traffic camera picture from that location.
Double-clicking the map will open the corresponding full map in your browser
The current speeds and incident reports will be updated every 60 seconds when the Dashboard is showing.
New in version 1.2.2:
• Correct one camera location and added a few new ones.
• Make mouseovers work correctly at the very top of the map.
New features:
• Added live traffic camera picture rollovers where possible (pictures pulled directly from the Caltrans website).
Improvements/bug fixes:
• Start panning of map with a 0.5s delay after moving the mouse over one of the borders in order to avoid accidental panning of the map.
• Improve visibility of the Info button and make it hide properly when leaving the widget.
• Make rollover popup work on the edges of the map when it is panned all the way to an edge.
• Lots of internal code changes in order to use less CPU and make reloads faster (reloading of new map data should now be twice as fast as before).
