    Mac OS X Google Pagerank Widget fix

    If you are not an Apple geek, close your eyes and wish yourself away now. This has nothing to do with music or The Schmoejoes. On the other hand, if you're a Mac geek, read on.

    If like me, you use the Google Pagerank Widget to see how awesome you are, and found it broken one day, I have a fix for you.

    Go into User->Library->Widgets.
    Control click and 'Show Package Contents'.
    Open pagerank.js in TextEdit or something textylisious.

    Change line eight from:

    xmlhttp.open('GET', 'http://purl.oclc.org/NET/GPR?url=' + url,true);

    to

    xmlhttp.open('GET', 'http://purl.oclc.org/NET/GPR?url=http://' + url,true);

    (You're adding 'http://')

    Save and close.
    Open Dashboard, and restart widget with apple-R.

    Worksy-worksy! Please note: I'm a dummy. If your widget continues to not work correctly, you're going to have to hit up Ran Aroussi.

    We now return to rock 'n rolliage.
