Web Widgets
These are some of the handy little utilities I have written in JavaScript or Perl. Obviously, you will need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser to see the JavaScript widgets. If you don't know whether or not you have JavaScript enabled, click this link to test. If you saw a little window appear, then you should be able to see the JavaScript widgets.

- An annual calendar all on one page. Works for any year.
- Daily Menu System
- Set up your daily, weekly or monthly menu based on your
daily exchanges. Uses a large database of foods, to which
new food items can be added. Requires a password to login.
Use the test account:

The test account cannot add foods to or delete foods from the database. The Menu System will appear in a new window.
