DesktopIP and DesktopCalendar (they're portable too!)

I've been casually searching for a couple small functions that I haven't been able to find adequate implementations of. One is an IP gadget that lets me see what my current IP is and also /renew for me when I switch from NAT (work) to bridged (home) networking in my VM.

The other is a small calendar app that shows me "today" and any upcoming holidays/birthdays, etc (I'm constantly looking at the calendar for some reason). I want to enter in all my reoccurring dates (birthdays, paydays, etc) but I don't need a task scheduler. There are a brazillion calendar apps out there but they were all way overkill and didn't integrate with my system/workflow the way I was looking for.

I hate having clutter in my system tray that needlessly take up space (I usually have many windows open, filling up the taskbar), but I still wanted easy access to these functions. Ideally, they would sit unobtrusively on my desktop behind all my other windows but I can flip to them when I need to.

Soooo.... I was at work all day Sunday waiting for Sprint/Verizon to fix their link so without the internet, I was getting bored PDQ. I figured the easiest way to un-bored myself is to start programming something, so with those annoyances fresh on the brain that's what I started with!

I cleaned them up a bit since Sunday but I'm sure there are still problems. If you have a few minutes and the inclination to make fun of my buggy software, give these a shot and let me know if you find anything weird. They're portable too, so feel free to run them from a USB drive or some such.

*edit* Fixed them up a little bit to be less annoying with
the mouse, and added hotkey functionality so you can call them to the
foreground with a keystroke. Yay!

*edit 2* Fixed a small bug that prevented the calendar from updating when the clock strikes midnight. Doh!
