iGoogle has jims screen saver

Q-Beam · 02-22-2009, 11:23 PM

I was browsing along in iGoogle, seeing what gadgets one could add and ran across this. Does anyone else know about this??? It's Jim's alright.

For those who do not know. go to www.igoogle.com and customize your page. then select 'add stuff' from the far top right of the page. Search for 'virtual aquarium' and it'll be the first one listed.

Yeah, we've been fighting this "Lisa Smith" character for about a year. We keep squashing it and it keeps popping back up.

Q-Beam · 02-23-2009, 09:11 AM

ok, just didn't know if you knew or not.

I thought this was not working (at least not for me in ffox), but it does in IE.
Despite the awful framerate and no cfg available, this has to stop. Is it legal???.

Jim Sachs · 02-23-2009, 03:18 PM

Nope.

Wat does Google say about it?

Jim Sachs · 03-01-2009, 02:50 PM

They take it down when we bring it to their attention, then it pops back up a couple of months later.

Good catch Q-BEAM!

Jim, for what it's worth, I added my two sense at that site. Perhaps it will keep some honest folks honest.

I know you have it cruising at twice the normal speed of a "real" one - but could you please add a little more mobility to the Starfish? Keep up the great work, God-speed and God Bless All.

Can't afford to spend time on the starfish right now. The new fish movement is more important, and that's next after the clams.

Completely understand Jim and thank you for hangin' out here on the forum. From what you have posted from day one, you have shown that you are not only a patient man - but a man of true class as well...

Not as big a deal as iGoogle, but I was very surprised to find this while searching for a kid's typing game! Shows just how popular Jim's aquarium is!
