DescriptionDecClock is a Tool to save time when you calculate with Time. Decimal Time is: 100 seconds per minute
100 minutes per hour
100 hours per day
--
a second in decimal is 0.0864 seconds in normal time
- GUI
- Normal Clock
- Decimal Clock
- compare Time
- Time Conversion
- Binary Clock
- Hex Clock
- notes Window
Planned FeaturesScreenshotsDecClock ScreenshotpageBeta testerLinux Tester: You have a Linux system with latest version of Mono, and want to test DecClock. => Send a PM to me and you will get the il code of the latest version, to compile it on Linux.

Iīd like to see a binary-clock also!

computerfritze, is this a timer? hmm, comparing times ... ahh, I see you plan to add more info to the first post ... looks interesting so far  |

I released version 1.2.0.1, thanks to Crush for his excellent idea.
Its up to you:
what features do you like to have in DecClock

what's the first number/time
72:etc above? i.e. I dont know what the "Decimal Clock" is -
I would have thought the "Normal Clock" here was a decimal clock...
also wondering what will "time conversion" involve? (I'm wondering are you translating correctly - I think conversion is usually to do with time zones? I could very well be wrong!)
thanks!

I like your clock ... At the moment I try to figure out how the decimal time is working...  . Your kind of binary-clock is only a bit strange to read, because of the splitted 0s and 1s. Please take a look at a binary clock I made a few years ago. Something like this would be more readable (donīt take care of the built in demo-effects - this makes you only crazy  ): Crushīs PQAmpel@tomos: I think with time conversion he meant the visual appearance. At the moment itīs disabled anyway. |

I released Version 1.3.1.2
@Crush
Is the binary clock better?
@tomos
I think "time conversion" means "to convert Times", and here you can convert binar, decimal, and normal time into each other.

I think a lot of people are riddling how your principles of "binary" and "decimal" are working.
Binary Clocks are made very often and you can even buy them in shops but your type of it seems kinda strange to me.
Youīre only counting each tick with E (what should be ones?) and on overflow reset it to the bottom and rise a decimal tick line named Z (what should be zeroes?).
Besides, the zeroes and ones are not suiting to the numbers they represent. They should be named higher/lower decimal digit.
The usually understanding of binary counters is this:
001 = 1
010 = 2 = overflow
011 = 3
100 = 4 = overflow
101
... and so on
Hereīs another Idea for an improvement:
What I never saw before is a hexadecimal counter: 0-9 and a-f -> 10 next. This would be also quite funny for coders.

Ok, itīs better to understand now. But itīs not a real binary clock yet. You could call it a pseudo-binary-clock.  Please integrate a hexadecimal clock also. Iīd like to see it and itīs easy to do. Btw: The time conversion creates exceptions when there are no valid entries at calculation. |

Is there a problem with the time in hexadecimal? I get something like this: E_1A_E. Each 16 seconds it changes to the next number und resets the first one: E_1B_0. This would mean that the right ones represent the seconds: 1B_0 and the next one E the minutes... where are the hours? One thing that should change somehow if possible is the cpu-usage. In my case I have a 2.4Ghz Core 2 CPU and the prog takes 4-8% calculation time. This is by far too much for daily use ... hey, itīs only a clock. Perhaps you can remove all loops and insert sleep functions or timer-interrupts |

Hey, look at Wikipedia, the Hexadecimal Time is specified as H_MM_S (16 hours, 256 minutes, 16 seconds), and the time youīve showed is correct
E=14 hours, 1A=26 minutes, E=14 seconds, clear?
EDIT: CPU usage is in progress

 Oh,  I didnīt knew that hexadecimal time is not representing seconds and minutes the "normal" way and show the "real" numbers as hexadecimals. I expected 2 digits for the seconds 00-3b and the same with minutes and hours. This way itīs extremely hard to read the "real" time from a clock for humans. Without an introduction to the time-systems noone will understand it.  Who knows that a hexsec is 1.32 secs, a hexmin 21.09 secs and a hexhour 1.3 hours long  ? So itīs now clear that your time-systems didnīt suit to my understanding of time conversion. Insert a site with a discription  of the time-systems (perhaps with internetlinks), please.

I released 1.4.3.0
I fixed CPU-Usage (currently 0% on 2x1.8GHz Core 2 Duo) and add a notes window.

I have a question about this, before I download it:
When exactly does a day begin? Does it use midnight as represented in my local time zone or does it use midnight UTC? (I am hoping UTC, since that will save me a lot of work granting a friend's wish)
It would be nice if everyone that used this had the exact same time represented on their clock, no matter where in the world they are, and unaffected by stupid things like DST.
This was a request a friend made awhile back and wanted me to make a clock much like yours, but with these additional requirements.

Could an option be added to base it on UTC? And perhaps a mini display suitable for keeping on the desktop, like in my DClock application, and let the user select which method is displayed in it. (I don't think the binary one would be suitable for this, though, because of the amount of screen space it would take up) |

Too bad, I would have liked to have a digital time only clock for my screen next to my DClock.  |

@computerfritze: There is a typo when you go to the license tab from your program. The tab title says "licence" instead of "license". So maybe there is one (final) update required  |
