I’ve always been averse to using widgets in the design of my homepage and my personal blog over the years.  Occasionally, I’ll find one that is useful enough to keep around a while.  I had the Lijit search utility implemented when I still had close to ten years worth of blog posts to index (before my blog reset towards the beginning of the year).  For a little while I had a widget to play my podcasts.

Need to update your datacenter when your midmarket IT organization's budget is squeezed tight? Kane County, the fourth-largest county in Illinois and one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States, suffered those two problems while still stuck with a Y2K hangover that left it littered with some 300 separate servers supporting every department and every application.
