Quick idea - can you add the ability to create a reoccuring option... like Monday, Tues, Wed, Thur, Fri - at 7:30 - play ALARM.MP3.... also can you add a adjustable snoose???

Done! Added an option for events to happen regularly and the clock updates itself as such :p

hey thats awesome! I got it counting down until my B-day:) but umm, if you try to move an icon behind the counter (when its transparent on the desktop) the icon gets stuck. That may be something hard to fix, but I thought I'd let you know.

The CPU usage used to be really low, then I added milliseconds. Would anyone really miss it if I pulled them out again??

Latest version has the option of having just floating text, and no background.

I'll upload the source after this round of updates/fixes.

Well, if your like me and NEVER turn your computer off, you just need 4 varibles, VB, and a timer that tinks every one seconds.

Have a SEC, MIN, HR, DAY varibles and the tiemr control. Hell, here would eb the code.

Dim SEC, MN, HR, DAY as Integer

SEC = 0

MN = 0

HR = 0

DAY = 0

-------------------------------------

(on the timer set for 1000)

SEC = SEC + 1

If SEC >= 60 then

MN = MN + 1

SEC = 0

End if

If MN >= 60 then

HR = HR + 1

MN = 0

End if

If HR >= 24 then

DAY = DAY + 1

HR = 0

End if

If DAY >= 21 then

Label1.Caption = "PICK YOUR DAMN GIRLFRIEND UP!"

DAY = 0

End if

There ya go, its a hard coded 3 week count down. For the record, i use military time.

    • WhatsApp document scanning gets closer to launch as more beta testers get access

      By zikalify · Posted

      WhatsApp document scanning gets closer to launch as more beta testers get access by Paul Hill Meta looks as though it’s getting closer to releasing WhatsApp’s native document scanner on Android because more people are now reporting they have access in the beta. This will give users a privacy-friendly way to snap photos of documents and automatically convert them to PDF ready for sharing. According to WABetaInfo, the feature comes with two modes: manual and automatic. The manual capture gives users more control over the process allowing them to adjust positioning and lighting to get the best quality scan. Automatic mode on the other hand automatically detects the edge of your document on its own and snaps the image without too much user input, making it faster and easier. Once the picture is taken, WhatsApp automatically converts it to a PDF file so that it can be shared and opened easily by the recipient. The file can be sent within private chats or group conversations. The entire scanning and conversion process takes place locally on your device, using Android’s built-in API for snapping documents. The document itself is also only stored locally until you decide to send it. Just like other WhatsApp messages, these scans are secured with end-to-end encryption when you send them to recipients. The only privacy risk is the user sending the PDF to the wrong person. The new feature was first noticed for Android a few weeks ago and with the latest beta it’s rolling out to more people. Once Meta has tested it across a wide array of devices, we will likely see it land for people on the stable version of WhatsApp. In recent weeks, we have also seen that Meta is testing new chat color themes in the beta releases. That feature doesn’t seem to have filtered down to the stable version yet, so be on the lookout for that too if that’s of interest to you.

      Silly, illinformed comment but thanks for playing anyway. I mean, are you actually comparing a default browser on well over a billion devices with Firefox?
