After a day of Kubuntu Feisty Herd test release five I am very impressed, easiest Java Install to date! This will get Java installed and working for Java applications as well as browser support. Firefox and Konqueror worked perfectly, but I have not tried other browsers. This will work for Java6 also just change the version numbers, i.e. java-6-sun. 

Installing Pylons 0.9.4.1 on Suse 10.2 with Python version 2.5 .

Update: These have been GPL'ed and can be downloaded here .  They are no longer XML based. I have the original XML based gauge and meter here with source. These can be used on a server or stand alone.

I am currently learning Flash so I can build a Web Dashboard at work. I looked on the internet for examples of how to make a gauge and meter type object to no avail. That annoyed me so here, have two I made for free.  

I had looked at some on-line applications awhile ago, like Writely a word processor that works via the web browser, but there were very few at the time. The boom with Ajax enabled Javascript toolkits and widgets has opened up a world I have been anticipating for awhile, web based gui applications.

I have been playing with a lot of AJAX enabled Javascript toolkits lately, like Mochikit and Dojo, but they are uninteresting to me and just contain effects web designers have been doing for years in a more combined framework like fashion. Plex however is interesting to me for many reasons.
