MetaStatus - a firefox plugin for monitoring anything

This is a plugin that displays a variety of status information in my browser.
Currently, it displays the song that is currently playing and the status of
my email INBOX (total messages with new messages in red).  In the future, I
plan to add things like system monitoring information or perhaps a list
of the past 5 referal sites to my web page.

Here is a screenshot:

Technical Details
The plugin periodically (once a minute) polls my server which has a public
xml file that contains information (like number of messages in my INBOX).
The information is then turned into a visualization in the browser.

ChangeLog
0.1 Initial version
 - email and music information
0.2 little hack, perl cgi
