Like Clockwork

Heh, not really like clockwork.  I've actually been somewhat remiss with the blogging lately.  What can I say?  It's summer.  Oh wait, I already said that, didn't I...  Anyhow, last time I made a teensy tiny bit of progress on my zipit clock radio dream project.  Well, it's now been another 4 weeks and once again I haven't really got much to show.  But a little something is still better than nothing, so here it is:  My first attempt at porting that maemo flipclock app I've been lusting after.

As you can see, after resizing it for the zipit I've got plenty of room on the bottom for other goodies like the date, alarm settings, or even the weather from the internet via the http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=zipcode API, or somesuch.  I'll probably try to  steal some ideas from this nifty weather clock for z2sidX.  There's not actually whole lotta code in the flipclock, so I also just might attempt to paste this into GMU as an additional screen with maybe a truncated playlist in the empty space down below.  Although, I'm kinda sorta waiting to see what's in the mysterious GMU update release hinted at here before digging into that code again.

Oh well, I'm really not sure where I go from here, but I'm sure I'll get there eventually.

Here's a zip with the sources and an IZ2S executable.  flipclock0-3-iz2s.zip
