Good news everybody! The little project I've been hammering out over the last four days, some of it in public(my call for assistance Friday night), is ready for Beta.
It is a simple on-screen alarm clock, and it is plain, very plain. The display is basic Gtk2 with a few tweaks to force refresh. The alarm tone is provided by a shared library in C using ALSA API. (And I'm happy to report that it was built on 10.10 in ALSA 1.0.23, but is back compatible without re-linking on ALSA 1.0.21(10.04)). The sound files(there is a choice) are own-rolled wavs. The gear is available to anybody who's up for a laugh, at the usual place. ftp.simonoriordan.com user-b...@simonoriordan.com password quixote1112 Look in the Linux Alarm Clock folder, and wherever you link the .so file, keep the wav files local.
