WWDC 2008 Countdown Widget

Last years WWDC widget is stunning but the 2008 version making the rounds is awful, the guy has basically set the date and added some text to the default countdown widget design. I have made widgets before the Dashcode days so I thought this would be a good chance to try something new. Its basically just a fully customized countdown widget for the 2008 World Wide Developers Conference with extra code that opens websites in your default browser when their buttons are clicked. Check it out and let me know what you think! Oh and its free, everyone loves free stuff! It's also the first mac project I have announced on this blog, it is a good day! :)

Download

Update: The widget is now on the Apple Dashboard Downloads page here. Unfortunately the images wont show up on the page which basically defeats the point of submitting it for the site in the first place. But hey if I get a few more downloads means a few more people will see my blog :)

What time is this counting down to? By my calculation it is counting down to 9pm on the 9th, my local time - which is 2am on the 9th San Francisco time.

The other one appears to be counting down to 9pm on the 8th (San Francisco time).

Hey Ivan,

You have found something that I forgot to fix, The date is set to the 9th but the time is 5:00PM, I was meant to change it before I released it. Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope the widget is till some use for you :)
