Dashboard
Please Note:
As of February 2011 this widget is unsupported. Internode will be withdrawing support for the API that this widget was written against.
The widget was originally not much more than a hobby project that proved a little popular. There are now other, more complete, better supported widgets and usage meters for OS X.
If the widget continues working for you, then consider yourself lucky. When it stops, it will be because Internode have finally turned off their legacy usage meter system.
Please don’t ask for it to be updated any more.
If you are looking for another usage meter, have a look at the ones Internode recommend

Leopard Errata for V1.4
There is a bug when running Version 1.4 of the widget under Leopard that will give you authentication errors. Thankfully there is a simple work around until I managed to get the widget updated. Follow these steps and you won’t have any problems:
- Switch to the back of the widget
- Enter your username
- Press <Tab>
- Enter your password
- Press <Tab> <– this is the important bit
- Switch to the front of the widget.
The widget should now work as advertised.
The widget is based on Paul Johnson’s Konfabulator widget (http://www.hillmanminx.net/usagemeter/). Code and images from Paul’s widget are used with permission.
