12 Hour Alarm Clock for Hal

[DarcyEdwards]

Hi All,

Now that the minute timer now works on all version 6.2 Machines.  I thought I'd play a little below is a simple 12 hour alarm clock, it's in beta form, so there is room for improvement.  This also works with my clock.uhp plug in.  Hope it's of use to you.

this could be "alarming " but what exactly does the alarm do []

[DarcyEdwards]

Lightspeed,

It just tells you the time that you have it set for and reminds you of something, very simple alarm clock. [:I]  It's good to set to remind you of an event like a tv show you might want to watch and loose track of time playing with Hal or surfing the net, all kinds of stuff.  [8D]

I've already made a modification it is now a 24 hour alarm clock.[]

Thanks Darcy. This will come in really handy when I have to remember a certain thing at a certain time! As for alarm clock itself, I always shut off my computer at bedtime.[8D]

Your welcome Ted!  Let me know if you would like any improvements.

It works well and I enjoy it. It makes hal seem more human-like to me. I tryed to use it in conjuntion with appointment and set them a minit appart, unfortunately I was out of the room and all I could read on the screen was the appointment calendar when I returned. I'll try again tomorw to see if they will both work together at only one minit apart. I already know they both work when both are checked. I get more interested in hal as it becomes more entertaining. Maybe different statements might be nice at different alarm times, like "It's 2 in the afternoon, if you are just now getting up -bla bla bla, etc. would be fun. If I left my computer and hal running, would it work with a screensaver or if in sleep or standby mode?[]

Ted,

Set the alarm clock to activate after the appointment to go off, because the appointment calender clears the screen!  You will hear both but if you want to see both set the calender to activate 1st.  I'm working on a version that says different things depending on the time of the day you have it set for.  LOL trying to come up with some things to say is more difficult than writing the plug in.

darcy , i like the consept of the new version you are working on where it says things i will wait for this version please let us know when its out , i suppose that being a plug in that we could personalize the sayings ? to what we would personally like ? thanks for you work on this project !![][][8D]

Lightspeed,

Yes it will be easy to modify the text of the messages, it will be very clear in the alarm.uhp file, and it will be documented for user changes.
I'm almost finished with it so stay tuned.[:I]

Ted, Mark, Lightspeed

Here is the version that you requested.  There are 61 random statements that can be modified if you wish.  They are all in quoted areas marked in the script have fun [:I]

Just downloaded it and opened it up. Looks like it will be fun. Do you remember the original star trek character Harcourt Mudd's wife? I think I will put some of her quotes in there just for laughs.
  Thanks Darcy.[8D]

Ted,

You're welcome!  You must be a Treckie, I do remember her comments, sorta wish we could duplicate her voice that would wake anyone up LOL.
