On the 9th I submitted my first design to BatchPCB. As anyone who is excited about their first design I have been obsessionally checking the stats page. As a result I decided to make a gadget to check the stats at a glance. This is my first gadget for Windows and I am pretty happy the way it turned out. I had a hard time pulling the stats and parsing the data but figured it out with lots of help from Google.
Check it out and let me know what you think. I borrowed the logo from the BatchPCB site and hope Sparkfun doesn’t mind since its for the site.

Here is the link to my blog with the download link.

The only limitation is it only shows the first panel. If there are more in the queue like on the weekend or evenings it doesn’t show them. I haven’t figured out how to search for more results when parsing the site. If you can help let me know.
Hope you enjoy it and find it useful. I know I will when I get to work tomorrow.
FYI, the default refresh is 5 minutes so you might want to change it. I don’t want to cause too much extra traffic for the site.
