I'm now pretty close on an OS X XP monitoring widget (hey, it was a great excuse to learn Javascript). It's working pretty well except for votes: when I check the XP ticker for myself in Safari, I see I have 9 votes, as expected. But when the widget fetches it, I get -1.

Any thoughts? Do I need to set the user agent?

Edit:
I had assumed that there might be a quick answer here - I see from all the downvotes that apparently I was wrong. Code later in the day after we've had Thanksgiving dinner.

Edit 2:
It's done (bar the voting -- see the rest of this thread for why). http://ibiblio.org/mcmahon/widgets/PerlmonksXP.wdgt.zip

Enjoy.
