Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.

Hm. I would have thought this was impossible, but looking at the Widget's code, it looks rather easy actually. I'm thinking about using Growl for this purpose, but I think it wouldn't be a good idea to have this in a Widget since a Widget isn't active most of the time, so I'd prefer to write a separate (very small) application to do this. Sounds like fun, I just don't have the time right now, but I'll certainly go ahead and try later.
By the way, directly notifying of changes won't work, the app will have to poll the server every few minutes and check the status. I think one minute should be a good compromise, but more time between updates should work just as nicely.

The main problem will be that you need a Perl interpreter tucked somewhere (which is included by default on Mac OS X). If you can solve that problem or rewrite the Perl parts, then you ought to be all set.
