I think I just discovered a bug with this widget. When you're at today's C&H strip, clicking on the '->' icon will shutdown the widget after displaying message about not able to load the webpage. I don't recalled seeing this behaviour with previous version.

I sent an email to Narayan to tell him that the widget had apparently fixed itself. He looked into it and this is his reply,..

I checked out the site. Their major problem is that the Linux and Mac users were not able to access the comics with the browser itself as Adobe has not released the latest flash player for these operating systems.
So, they have temporarily bypassed the flash and given direct access. So, the widget may work for some time thats all.
Still need to do something about it.
Working on it :)
Take care,
Regards,
Narayan

My day is complete again! =o) Great widget! Thanks for fixing it!
(A button to go to "today" would be nice indeed.)

If, the widget works again! Prove it again and you will see. I hope that the trouble doesn't repeat again

It's back--I'm so happy!!!
