Now one thing I thought that would be pretty cool would be a server monitor plug-in, there was nothing currently out there so using my non existent knowledge of widgets I tried my luck… and failed terribly I just couldn’t get the server to query correctly at all. I guessed someone must have done something similar to this in PHP the answer was GameQ. Its a nice little library that wraps everything up nicely and gives us back a lot of really easy arrays using this and my basic understanding of plugins I managed to knock up the server monitor you see on the 9m website

I have plans at some point to improve and hopefully release the widget under GPL when I have a better understanding of how to deal with the configuration side of things, until then its all hard coded configuration. If anyone’s interested at all in the source code drop me a line.
