Bit of a funny request this one. I'd like a freeware/unlimited trial shareware program to perform the following: 1. Customisable number of displays for world time. 2. Choice of analogue/digital format display. 3. Choice of 24 hour/12 hour setting. 4. Option to set "count down" clocks. 5. Compatible with Windows XP. Preferably automatically remembers/loads settings and is not cpu intensive. I've tried searching, but nothing suitable has cropped up, any recommendations before I waste hours of my life programming one myself? |
||||||||

Hours? It shouldn't take more than an hour to knock something like that up. |
||||||||
|

I want it to have a nice streamlined UI. I don't want to have to go into the code to change the setup all the time. I also don't want to have to re-learn visual basic (I managed to wipe that from my conciousness once I passed that module) and although my visual c++ is okay, I don't know any of the stuff for grabbing values from the clock or displaying text (I only use it for graphics). |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Several reasons, but primarily because I don't want to have to buy three identical, tasteful clocks for my wall as well as a three or four large LCD countdown clock to sit on top of my monitor. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why three? |

Normal Clocks 1. Time in UK. (one 12, hour one 24 if hardware though I'd just go for a 12 hour) 2. Time in Eastern Australia. 3. Time in Seattle. Countdown clocks 1. Six minute count down time for practicing scratch routines. 2-4. Miscellaneous countdowns, mainly for project deadlines. |

do you travel a lot? or got some girlies in other countries? |
||||||||

I wouldn't want them hardware because 8 clocks ticking in my room is a bit much and they'd eat a lot of batteries. |

Just do a flash based one then? Hardly any coding and you could have it looking well funky. |
||||||||

I know absolutely no flash at all :-/ |

If I get a chance after I have finished this work I will do you one if you want. Do you have the .NET framework 1.1 on your PC? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think so... I had to put some of the .net framework on my machine for visual studio .net 2003. Thanks very much BTW. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you have VS.NET 2003 you have the framework :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just a digital interface? You don't want stupid analogue do you? :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I'll accept digital, certainly :) So, main functionality: One clock that reads time from hardware clock in my PC (unless there's a snazzy bit of code that does a world clock lookup ;-) Two slave clocks to this- one configured for Brisbane(GMT +10 ), the other for Seattle (GMT -8hrs). Optional Extras: Countdown clock you can set to a certain number of days/hours/min and it counts down to it. Any other questions, fire away :) |

If possible, please could you include the source code- I'm a reasonable enough programmer I can tweak existing code in most languages to slightly tune them to my needs. Ta :) |

i find this thread uninternesting B7 |

The purposes of this clock are entirely related to electronic music, one of which will benefit you in a very minor way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Make me a clock which can measure BPM and time signature and also runs on mac os9 and x |
||||||||

Funny you should say that...more to follow :D |

||||||||
|

Are you refering to the Elektribe? If so, because I was lent that one :) |
