Recently, I decided to write myself a couple Windows Desktop Gadgets for Windows 7. I wanted to be able to see the load averages on all my servers without opening an SSH connection and I wanted to be able to quickly generate a random password without opening a web page.

The graphic on these aren't spectacular ... I'm a more of a programmer and less of a designer. They've been tested with Windows 7 Professional, but I assume that they will also work as Windows Vista Sidebar gadgets.

Take a look at my gadgets and let me know what you think. If you have any comments or suggestions, let me know.
