Offline widget for Arm

[Incognito]

I'm trying to figure out a way to tell the date, time and uptime of the mud - without having to log into www.zalanthas.org each time.

Does anyone have a way this information can be gathered/refreshed/displayed on the desktop of a PC in a small widget?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I noticed that the uptime - is no longer displayed on www.zalanthas.org - so any other suggestions?

Oops didn't read your post correctly, forget that.

All I can say is I know there -is- an Excel Spreadsheet somewhere that converts current time into Zalanthan time. (or any inputted time)


I do not know where it is, but it exists. In the aether. OR THE CLOUD.

Put that in your startup folder. If you don't have a Logitech LCD thing, it'll come up as a widgit.

This might be good too: http://gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,38834.msg556738.html#msg556738

Can you please elaborate how one would go about putting the above webpage into a windows startup folder?

And thanks Barsook and BCW81!

Not the webpage, download the file from the link. Once the file is downloaded, you might need to install the logitech software in order to view it. Not sure on that regard. But you can either double click it to run as a normal program, or you can open your start menu, go to ALL PROGRAMS, then right click the STARTUP folder and OPEN the folder. Drag and drop the program in. Now it attempts to start any time you turn your computer on.

I just checked out the program, it looks like it's a standard .EXE file, so it shouldn't need any special programs to run. Just download it from (http://sourceforge.net/projects/g15armclock/files/), pop it into your startup folder as detailed above (you can get better directions by googling it, if need be.), and then double click it to start it up.

Actually, I believe the same player has submitted the widget to staff for review and we're going to see what we can do to get it up and running on our site, but this might take some time.  Bear with us.

Damn it, Jim, I'm not a coder.

If you want a really, off line app distributable to anything that has java, likely I could write one with this and more features.

More features and in Java.... Woooohoooo that means it would work under Linux... What ideas do you have?

it's already been done in java by Samira
https://sourceforge.net/projects/zalcal/files/

talking to Samira now to get the various software tools like the arm clock and the mushclient infobar into one repo on github. or at the very least, all listed on one webpage. then we'll submit to staff.
