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.

It does have a tray icon! and when you hover over it it does show the text!

I've had a look in that file... nothing really worth getting excited about :wacko:

any other ideas/suggestions?

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.

    • From what I understand, RAID 1 makes a copy of one disk. How does it do this? If something happened to one drive, could I take the other one out, plug it into a PC and use it like a normal disk? I have two hard drives that have the same information on - a bit of protection if one drive fails. But I've just been manually copying the data twice.
    • Microsoft SharePoint gets Modern Page Templates to speed up page creation by Paul Hill SharePoint, Microsoft’s enterprise content management solution that allows organizations to set up internal pages and share documents, has just got a big update with the new Modern Page Templates. Microsoft said that it’s going to be rolling out the feature to customers globally between early July and early August. Organization members that want to set up pages on SharePoint using the new templates can do so from multiple entry points including the Site Home (the home of a Communication or Teams site), App Bar (the persistent navigation pane on the left of SharePoint), and the New Web Part (a webpart that displays and creates news posts directly on pages). By giving colleagues multiple access points to the new templates, there’s more chance they’ll be found and used. By including plenty of swanky templates, Microsoft is making it so you can spend less time designing pages, and more time filling them with content that really matters. If you want to create a new page using the templates, just go to New > Page and select a template “From Microsoft”. If you were making a news post, you would go to New > News post then you’d be presented with the new Template Gallery where you can select a custom template created by your colleagues under “Saved on this site”. While these new templates are coming to customers globally next month, Microsoft is already busy working on new features to make templates easier to discover and make them more useful. For example, it is building tenant-wide custom templates that can be published across sites for organization-wide use, and it’s working on Copilot templates that you can use when creating pages with Copilot. Neither of these features was given a release timeline. Customers won’t need to do anything to start using Modern Page Templates as they’ll be available automatically as it rolls out worldwide across tenants. For those who want to dive deeper, Microsoft will be publishing additional documentation and guidance about this feature soon.
