SimpsonBot

It looks like this hasn't been updated in a long time. This is a bug, and a tip for users: When there is a long quote, which requires a scroll bar, make sure to scroll back up before leaving the dashboard. If this is kept scrolled down, you may see textless windows. It seems the widget remembers where you scrolled to, and doesn't default to the 'top' position.

The bot has Superintendant Chalmers as Chamlers.It should be Chalmers. Weee!

Has anyone else had this widget crash? I haven't had any reports, so I am at a loss as to what happened for the user below. Please email me if you experience any troubles.

the only widget in the world that crashes.

Very nice widget. I use this and you Family Guy one. I have a suggestion: Often times, particularly in the Simpsons one, a quote is so long that the scroll bar comes up, which I find to be annoying. Could you make an option to have a bigger dialogue, or better yet, have it autosize to fit the quote? That would be sweet.

Very clean interface, lots of quotes, and even little icons of the characters. Great idea for a widget!!! I could sit here and read quotes all day long. The only thing is (like just about every internet list I've seen of simpsons quotes), many of the quotes have minor inaccuracies or are slightly misquoted. But otherwise, a great widget.

THE BEST WIDGET EVER!!!!!!

i forgot to mention in what's new that there are a few more character images now and that (when threre's a character with multiple images) a random one is choosen. thanks

From console.log: 2005-08-01 17:12:07.828 DashboardClient[813] bindings/objc/WebScriptObject.mm:214:[813] JavaScript exception: Can't find variable: thumbTop (event handler):Can't find variable: thumbTop 2005-08-01 17:12:20.262 DashboardClient[813] (com.jonlink.simpsonbot) undefined: Can't find variable: thumbTop (line: 0) (event handler):Can't find variable: thumbTop Several of these appear every time the widget tries to load a quote. Also, I'm not too fond of the bloated-looking window, but that's just personal preference. I wish I didn't delete the previous version.

Any chance of a Family Guy widget like this? Simpsons is past its prime.

Very nifty little widget, especally for the simpsons fan in all of us.
