iGoogle

It was interesting and rather easy to create a customised home page, it was a bit disconcerting to find some gadgets are naturally geared to US time zones. I fussed around trying to make Melbourne the default map for the GoogeMaps gadget, couldn't get it to work, eventually I had to abandon this quest and leave San Francisco as the default. I now have Melbourne weather, the current moon phases and the calendar as well as news items, and yesterday's Buddhist thought for the day. It was pleasing to find Leunig as an artist listed, so Mr Curly is part of the background artwork.
