Ok.  My alarm clock system is working fairly well.  The last few days have been pretty nice waking up to music I love.  Anyway, so I made a few changes:

  • Some "nice" red light/green light images have been added to display alarm enablement.
  • The alarm can be stopped without shutting down the application
  • Added a nice date/time stamp of when the alarm will sound.

So far, the alarm will still only go off at 6AM.  My next step will be to add custom times. 

 

If you're interested, the standalone application is located here, and the source code is available here.

If you're interested, I'm going to post the source code to my little app later today.

I finally got subversion up and running.  Now I can actually do development!  I'll post some stuff later on how I got Subversion running on Ubuntu Server.

Next month (4/21), I'll be giving a presentation on AJAX integration into DotNetNuke Modules.  If you're interested, the meetings are at TricorBraun, and they start at 7PM.  if you have any suggestions or ideas, please post a comment.  Thanks!
