Chuck Norris Widget 4.0

Posted on May 25, 2007 by Natan Yellin in Chuck Norris

I’m just about ready to release the latest version of my Chuck Norris widget for Mac OS X. I’m waiting until Sunday to release it, because I still have one or two small things to take care of. The last version of the widget was download around 12,000 times. With the last version, my server stayed up and running smoothly the entire time. With a little bit of luck, I’ll be able to survive the flood of visitors this time also.

Sometime soon, I’m going to change the design of the games page to match the design of the rest of the website. I’m also planning on making another widget or two, as well as a wordpress plugin to prevent email spam. I’ll post more information about that during the week. Anyways, I just realized that the Chuck Norris game on this website has been played 11449 times. If you haven’t played it yet, then head over to the games page and give it a try.

    I have the beta version 4 of your widget. Whenever I try to manually check for updates (click the ‘i’ in the bottom right corner, click the “Options” button, and click “Check for Updates”, I get a message that says “There was an error retrieving the current version number from the server” The 2 buttons I can press are “Try again”, which doesn’t help, or “Cancel” Any ideas for fixing it?
    Thanks!
    P.S. Thanks for updating your website!

    I’m glad you like the widget and the website.

    Anyways, thats not a bug. You’re using the beta release. The widget is checking what the version of the official release is. The official release is still version 3.1. The official release of version 4 won’t be that much different then the beta version (unless I find some bug in the beta). So when I release the official version (some time very soon) it will tell you that you are up to date. If you’d like, you can update anyways, because there are one or two minor changes.
