Google widget - i hate and love it

05 Feb, 2009 | admin
Ok everyone, just to keep you updated about what is going on actually with the Mojocafe.
For the whole week i have been trying to develop several Mojos like
- a Mojo showing the next events from your Google Calendar User account
- a Mojo showing the To-Do List from your Google ToDo User account
and
- a Mojo showing the contacts from your Google contacts user account

This means for example that you could have in full screen the information about the next dates that you have to attend, the next next you want to do or people you would like to contact.

The problems that i have been cofrontated with are of a simple safety nature: you Google User login data.
Google offers three ways to login and gather the proper information from an user so that the data snatched can be used within other programming languages. This kind of communication is done by a so called API and most widgets that you know from Yahoo!, google itself, ebay etc. are done throu this process.

The conclusion for this to work in the most easiest way in combination with Adobe Flash (what the Mojocafe relies on), is by the user, meaning you, would have to offer your google mail and password login within the Mojocafe system. I would have to save this information in the Mojocafe database and encrypt it (MD5 encryption at least).

But lets be honest: do you give out your google login data to someone like..... ME ?

*grin* i know that it is nothing about me, but as i in my case WOULD NOT tell anyone else my login information, why should you do so? And i hope you would not do so.

So unfortunately at the moment there is no easy way to implement most of the google widgets inside the Mojocafe.
APART FROM THE CALENDAR!

Now that i stopped messing up with the above mentioned API, i am concentrating on the so called magic cookie authentification.
This means: i am going to develop a Google Calendar Mojo so that you can have your google calendar entries presented to you on your device. The way to get there will be a bit harsh as anyone who wants to use that Mojo will have to copy a 4 billion character (more or less) long website-address inside the Mojocafe profile, but fortunately it will only have to be done once :)

I will keep you updated abou this.

Oh and by the way: i am going the CeBit this year and will talk to some hard and software developers to join the Mojocafe!

Warlocks can be a difficult class to play, but if you can do it well you will be the envy of all other damage dealers. Most people will despise you in Player vs Player battles.
