pidgin-countdown

I head off skiing in 10 days, 8 hours 57 minutes and 59 seconds. No, now 10 days, 8 hours 57 minutes and 54 seconds. No, wait, 10 days, 8 hours 57 minutes and 49 seconds. Well, you get the idea. I'm pretty excited - so I blew a couple of hours writing my first Pidgin plugin - Pidgin-Countdown.

Pidgin-Countdown sets your MSN/Google Chat/Whatever status counting down to a specific point in time, updated at a configurable interval.
