About
The name aBowman stands for Adam Bowman. I am a freelance programmer who lives in Hallowell, Maine. This site showcases the gadgets I’ve created. Gadgets (aka widgets, modules, badges, flakes) are small applications that can be added to webpages or your desktop.
Subscribe to my blog to keep track of any aBowman gadget updates.
If you have any questions or comments, you can use the form at the bottom of the page or you can email me at adbocode at gmail.com.
Wonder why my comments are not posting here?
I just love the Turtles, the Fish and the Penguins.
Was wondering if there is anyway we could feed the Penguins?
I am sure that they are getting hungry just waddling about.
I love these cool little guys… Great aps.

Hi Adam,
Your gadgets are amazing. I’ve customized the fish. Even with a black background and each fish a different colour, the pond of 10 fishes look awesome.
Can you make a Hamster gadget? That will be cute.

Mr. Bowman,
The comments I posted on Pendulum Clock do not appear!
So here is e a personal question. I don’t understand how to add the clock to the collection of gadgets for the Google side bar.
You say: copy and past the URL to the search bar Add Gadgets window. But nothing happens if I click on SEARCH.
The only reason why I installed the Google sidebar was to have that pendulum clock with the Westminster chimes.
Now if if it doesn’t work, I’ll simply uninstall the Google sidebar.

Hi Hugo,
Did you enter this URL:
http://pendulumclockgadget.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pendulumClock.xml
to the gadget search textbox in google desktop? The gadget search textbox is on the “Add Gadget” window, which you can open by clicking the + button at the top of the sidebar.
A button to add the gadget should appear in the search results.

@Dawn – If you want to add it to iGoogle click the add to Google button below the gadget. There are directions for adding the gadgets to Google Desktop below each gadget.
@nita – you can add the fish to your site by clicking the “edit settings” link here on this site below the gadget and copying the code at the bottom of the form.
@lulu – to change the colors on the site click on the “edit settings” link below each of the gadgets and then add the gadget to iGoogle. You can also change the colors on iGoogle

Your programming is remarkable; it’s simple, smooth, and very entertaining. I think I spend more time on my little turtles than on anything else on my iGoogle page. I have no idea how much effort you’ve spent, but I hope it pays/will pay off in the future.

Good work, you should do some axolote or any kind of newt swimming, also a gecko would be cool.
Keep doing your great job
