phew! I just made 2 new widgets to show the UK and Euromillions Lottery results, it took all of 20 minutes! hehe, these widgets are getting easier and easier to make!

These ones parse an external site for the results so I think I need to work on a cache type thing so it doesn’t have to go outside every time someone views the site. The site it grabs the results from tends to have them very early and the feed is easy to parse so as long as there’s not too much traffic, it wont place any undue pressure on an external page. oh wait, maybe I could add some php to only parse the site every 10 minutes… 6 times an hour isn’t too much pressure to put on any page!

I’m off to tweak!
