I have been prowling the concrete wilderness for 10 minutes, and 37 seconds. Before that, I was at work.

24-Hour Analog Clock

/create/ @ 23:32 on Mon, 2007-01-29

I have been working on a design for a noon-at-the-top 24h analog clock. It is going to become a real clock for our kitchen, as soon as I buy the hardware for it and get the face printed.

For fun, I decided to animate the SVG source so that it displays the current time in your browser. You can see the smaller, live version of the clock that should work in quality browsers such as Firefox.

Of course, this is all released under an open-ish license (non-commercial), so feel free to hack away! See the project page for more details.

Update: I've updated the design to version 2.1 so that it works better across platforms. Apparently the text-on-path feature isn't reliable for spacing things out. This new version seems a bit more readable from a distance, too.

If you can read this text, you're either on a browser that doesn't support CSS or one that supports it badly. You've probably noticed that my layout is a bit choppy and perhaps even ugly. My layout here is designed to work in all browsers that support CSS 1 and 2 and was designed by reading the W3C CSS recommendations. It was tested in the most CSS-compliant browser I know of, Firefox. If you want this page (and others too!) to look nice, I reccomend trying Firefox - it's completely free and can also block those annoying popup ads out-of-the-box.
