what does it do?

It just sits there. Like the description says, it's "a round tuit". It's motivation to do the thing that you said you were going to do "when you get around to it."

Not original! I saw this stupid "round tuit" thingback when I was in elementary school 10 years ago. It wasn't funny then and it isn't funny now.

Propynyl -
The round tuit has been around a lot longer than 10 years, stores used to give them out as a round wooden slug with advertising on one side and TUIT on the other. Some people find it amusing.....
The real problem I see from your post here and in quite a few other places is that you are rude, have no sense of humor and are completely tactless. It is a pity you are so bitter so young, it will make your life much more difficult.

I never <i>said</i> it was original. I just wanted to put it in a widget.
Posted by: jtbandes (developer) on Jun 18, 05 (2:53 AM) for version 1.0 (previous version)
Will someone else please rate this widget so it's not shown overall as one star? The single star it has now is only because of propnyl.
Posted by: jtbandes (developer) on Jun 18, 05 (2:54 AM) for version 1.0 (previous version)
To counter the 1 star.
It's sorta funny.... and the design is very good.

Sorry, I should have rated it earlier....

Everyone could use motivation.

It doesn't get a good rating as it doesn't *do* anything. Add some more features (maybe the ability to add a note for a particular reminder) and it might get a higher rating from me.

I'm currently working on what will be version 1.1, which will keep the color pref on restart.

I actually have never heard of this kinda thing before. So, for me, it's quite silly ^^ . If I had more RAM, a faster comp, and larger monitor, I would totally use this widget just because I'm always saying I'll get around to things.

Do you want it smaller? I can do that if you like.
Posted by: jtbandes (developer) on Jun 23, 05 (4:19 AM) for version 1.0 (previous version)
Looks nice.

Cool, never heard of the "round tuit" joke before (I'm not from an english-speaking country). Made me laugh when I saw it, that deserves a lot of credit. It could, although, save a note reminder or something to "get around to", that would be really neat. You could <strike>steal</strike> borrow some code from stickies if you want for this functionality.
And, to all of you who complain about this decorative widget not doing anything, yep, it's true, it doesn't, and it shouldn't do anything, or do the pictures hanging on your walls do anything?

Thanks for the positive posts
Posted by: jtbandes (developer) on Jul 11, 05 (5:03 AM) for version 1.0 (previous version)
Hey, why not?
Add an optional short note beneath "TUIT" and it becomes like a special sticky for the things you must get a round tu. That would be useful: clear your TUITS or no dessert!

You know, it's one thing when you make a useless widget and post it on DashboardWidgets.com...
It's another when it makes it to Macworld's Widget "Why?" of the Week.

Fix the color bug and add the ability to put in some sort of note or reminder, and I'll give it a five-star rating. 
Posted by: Midnightbrewer on Jul 31, 05 (5:31 AM) for version 1.0 (previous version) View Detailed Rating
Color bug? you mean that it doesn't remember color preference?
And you can't rate it again.
Posted by: jtbandes (developer) on Jul 31, 05 (4:43 PM) for version 1.0 (previous version)
I think it would ge creat if it were a little smaller (about 60-75%) and if you could write a note to remember that might say something like "call bob."
Some more colors would also be great!

Make a list of colors you would like, post it here, and I'll make them.
Posted by: jtbandes (developer) on Aug 09, 05 (8:46 PM) for version 1.0 (previous version)
Expect an update with more colors tomorrow (sneak peek: it will include yellow), and if you can't type a reminder in that update, expect another one soon after.
Posted by: jtbandes (developer) on Aug 13, 05 (5:46 AM) for version 1.0 (previous version)
doesent do anything, but it is good motivation. 5 stars!
Posted by: Radruler on Aug 14, 05 (12:44 AM) for version 1.1 (previous version) View Detailed Rating
It does do something now: You can write a note like the stickies widget! To write just click where I show the top line of text in the screen shot.

You know, propynyl, if you don't like this widget, just ignore it!
Posted by: jtbandes (developer) on Aug 18, 05 (2:36 PM) for version 1.3 (current version)
Just realized you used my example in your screenshot (Call bob).
Also, is there any way to center the text? That would make the overall appearance better.
