  1. GTalkStatus Widget and Llama apparently make a good combo in changing the GoogleTalk status depending on the location! Too bad the Google 2-step verification does not play nice with the widget (at least that's the only reason I can think of why I can't log in). The dev was extremely quick to respond and offered a refund right away! No need, I answered, just let me know if you can fix this later on..
