OK, the time is available... but I like now/next as a display.

What about the option to have it alternate between displaying the time, and displaying the selected visual/info-mode?

e.g., 2 seconds of clock, 2 seconds of info, or whatever.

Is this coming down the pike already? It would be much appreciated.

If this is already available, can someone please tell me HOW to find it, so that I can turn it on?

Hi,

OK, the time is available... but I like now/next as a display.

What about getting Toby to do a time visualisation variant? Sort'a various digital & analog clocks popping and fadding to the music. Just an idea...

Regards,

How about a Dali clock that monitors the internal empeg temperature? As the temperature increases the clock melts more and more?

There is a temp sensor on the motherboard right?

Well, it's pretty obvious that Toby has some nice matrix-multiply code, and some cool routines that feed the transformation matrix based on the music.

First pass is replace the checkerboard in "Toilet Floor" with a clock face.

You could do "Hula Hoops" with clock faces too.

What about "Soundflag" or adding clock hands to "Rorshach"?

Actually, I'd really love to see 'xearth -proj merc -label'

One of the "drippy" melting timepieces painted by Salvador Dali.

You could try here which shows one melting timepiece, but I think you will find that the greater majority of Dali's artworks are not available on the web due to the rather paranoid policing activities of his estate...

I think they mean like xdaliclock on UNIX workstations, where the numbers morph into one another as they change.

Quick search on Google:

Java Dali Clock

Funny thing.. Now I know what you meant. But it's a bit confusing - isn't it?

Although Rob is right, I was actually thinking of a famous desktop silly application, originally written for X. It displays a digital clock with the digits morphing as they progress.
