What time is it ?

Now with the VDO precision of the seventies ...

THE VDO REVS WATCH

A Flash widget I made for the french club website.

NEW DOWNLOADABLE VERSION for your PC desktop ... http://club914.fr/914watch.zip

very nice! Does it keep actual time? The pointer has only moved a couple spaces in the last several minutes.

Thats cool!

Yes, the needle shows hours. This is actual time from your computer.

It's not supposed to be displayed at full screen
but as a Widget in a website like this http://porsche914.fr-bb.com/index.htm ...

French forum ...

Thanks Johnannes! That's awesome. I looked at a minute ago and it was almost the same time it was when I looked at it this morning at 05:32.

it's all wrong... at 6:48 it should be bouncing between 5 and 8 back and forth

j/k great job, really cool

OK, I see how it works. Pretty cool how you have 9:14 as redline.

i want to read french now. google translate is only so good.

Very cool!

That's very cool. Is there any way to run a small version directly on my desktop?

Wish my tack was that bright in the car~..How do I make a widget on XP?

Very cool! You need to have the gas gauge show the month and the speedo show the day to go with it !

Download this file

Note for advanced users:
You can change the size of the watch when editing the 914watch.htm file with the notepad.

very cool thing !!!

thanks

that is pretty cool. this would make an awesome windows 7 or vista gadget

That seems very easy to do http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163370.aspx
But as I only have XP I won't be able to test it. So if anyone has time to buit it ...

Heh.. funniest thing I've read all day...

That worked perfectly! I was trying to put the flash object directly on the desktop as a web object. Of course all I got was a white square. Using your html file did the trick.

THANKS!!!
