Off topic, but I thought it was fun...
The base code isn't mine, but I have modded the original QLOCKTWO to add "it is nearly..." messages.

Re: OT: My take on a QLOCK2
It's 0759 now and it's telling me that it is seven o'clock. Should it be saying that it's nearly eight o'clock?
Edit: It's now 0800 and it's correctly saying that it is eight o'clock.

Re: OT: My take on a QLOCK2
...and an obvious error, I failed to relax the bounds checking for the minutes close to the hour. It was still <5 >55, needs to be <3 >58
Should be fixed now.

OK, that still needs some work - it doesn't display O'CLOCK when its is 'nearly' the hour.

“It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.
"So it is."
"And freezing."
"Is it?"
"Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately.”

Re: OT: My take on a QLOCK2
Just a thought - how cool would it be to integrate a text-to-speech module with (say) a HAL- or SAL-type voice?
