It is a well known fact that nobody ever gets up at 07.01 or 08.23,
so what point in displaying these times on an alarm clock.
This clock would have a digital display that only changes at xx.10
or xx.15 or whatever interval the user decides.

[ ] this is reminiscent of clocks chiming the quarter, half and whole hour. Of course nowadays we use the modern method of "commercials". |

Funny... I swear there was an annotation here just last night
from Tatterdmalion about him being OCD about his alarm times
having to end in 7. Where'd it go? |
|
| |
yep, there was - I like that kinda quirkiness. |
|
| |
Not guilty... No annos deleted by me! |
|
| |
I'd buy this for the cleverness of it. + I'd show it off to
my OCD friends, and make them shudder. Then I'd
whip out my other alarm clock with nothing but "7's"
on it for tatter. (And then I'd offer him hot cocoa and
a cool wash cloth.) |

Interesting. I always set mine to :11. 11:11 is like the holy grail of time, for me. I've never understood why. |
|
| |
My alarm's set for 5:55 everyday. |
|
| |
I had mine set to 7:41, in my youth. |
|
| |
Why bother with numbers at all, just have a binary alarm clock. The light comes on for daytime, and goes off for night time. |
|

That's already baked [pocmloc]. It's called the Sun! |
|
| |
we OCD types delete *edit:and edit* our annos often because they aren't perfect. |
|
| |
edit#3: I don't like this idea. - being a tad OCD I like to know what time it really is. |

[Mike] - can you tell me where the controls are, I never manage to set it to my usual wake up time except a few weeks twice a year. Thanks. |
|
| |
So, dentworth, do you know what time it *really* is? |
|
| |
How many milliseconds ahead of, or behind, Coordinated Universal Time is your atomic clock? |
|
| |
Or rather, how far off *was* your atomic clock, the last time UTC was calculated? |
|
| |
[pocmloc] all you need to do is move house far enough east or
west until you reach the optimal setting. |
|
| |
Time is merely a philosphical construct, made necessary by our apparent recollection of events which we can no longer prove, conclusively, occurred; and our expectation that we will experience events yet to occur. |
|
| |
None of it exists without our involvement. |
|
| |
Thanks [Mike], though my house is rather heavy and appears to be fixed down. But I'll try and give that a go and let you know how I get on. |
