Still, as things stand right now, I am pretty content with being able to countdown my IM status to Roma fixtures, Fedora releases or even my sandwich’s heat-up time in the microwave with just a few clicks.

  3. Ethan, I’m sorry but I haven’t compiled the plugin on Windows yet. You’re welcome to file a bug requesting a Windows build. The project maintainer might be able to provide one.
