I’ve just uploaded beta version 0.0.1 of “Lou’s Energy and Environmental Clock”. It’s now a fully self-contained HTML + CSS + JavaScript page, which means it should (he typed nervously) run on Windows, Linux, Macs, or any other system that has browser released in this century.
Get it here.
This version is a complete re-write of the energy clock Windows program I released some time back that I know was popular with quite a few people.
Please note that this is a beta version, and beta comes from the Latin for “guaranteed to be so riddled with bugs and stupid design errors that you’ll wonder why the doofus programmer ever let it see light of day”. Consider yourself warned.
I plan to do a series of these clocks focused on different energy and environmental metrics, as time permits and I receive “interesting” suggestions from all you people who live on the other side of my screen.
While all feedback is welcome, right now I most want to hear about problems–it won’t work right on a particular mobile device (and I have none of those, so I’m relying on others to do that part of the testing) or browser or whatever oddity you run into. If you report a problem please make sure to tell me exactly which OS and browser you’re running, and anything else about your system that could be relevant.
So that’s it. Give it a spin and let me know what you think, either in a comment below or in a direct e-mail.
