I clicked on the Lace Guild web site http://www.laceguild.demon.co.uk/ went to the Advent Calendar, waited patiently whilst it set up, clicked on door #1 and nothing hasppend. Silly me, it is still November here, but surely December 1 in England now even though it is only 1 a.m. in the morning.
Cheat! When we first started (seven years ago) we changed the picture by hand everyday about midnight UK time. However then I got round to coding it (it does work on a computer you know) and 'it' checks the time 'itself' - and yes, the time is your computer's local time. (Which also means that if your computer battery is flat and the date has gone back to 1904 or something, you are going to have to replace the battery if you want to open the windows.)

Yes, I forgot to warn you, it will be slow first time because it loads all the pics (even though you can't see them) in the background. Next time they should still be in your computer's 'cache' so with any luck the page should load more quickly. (I could try to write even more complicated code that only does the background loading on the right date, but, then, it's just an Advent Calendar not a guided missile system :-) )
