HabitCal Google gadget busted?

[DaveMc]

Is it just me, or has the HabitCal gadget in iGoogle suddenly stopped working right? I used to get a little HabitCal display in the logged-in view of iGoogle, but now it just contains the text "Click on one or more tags from the list above and hit the show button. Hold down the control (or apple) key while clicking to select multiple tags." -- but there is no list above, just the words. This started a few days ago, after working smoothly for a long time. I wonder if Google changed something, or did I somehow manage to disable it?

It's not just you... I see this problem too (actually I'm just getting a blank).

I haven't changed anything on my end, and the gadget still seems to work when embedded in a regular web page, so I'm not sure what's going on here.

First thing I'm going to do is wait a bit and see if the problem goes away

Thanks for bringing my attention to this -- I don't use igoogle that much myself so it would have taken me forever to notice otherwise.

Well, that seems to have worked: it's back, now!

My favorite kind of bug

Reinhard's 2 rules of software debugging:

1) wait and see if the problem goes away by itself (or the geniuses at google fix it for you)

2) reboot and see if that fixes it
