HexClock 2.0

Another clock experiment, this time a direct successor to my original Hexclock from 10+ years ago. I wanted to update it a little, to use multiple gradients and improve the way that they were calculated. As with the TV ident clock I’m not using any libraries, frameworks or stuff like that, with the aim of keeping my JS & CSS skills up to scratch.

This is the first of my re-visits of a project I did a while ago, the ‘Hex clock’ (which was itself a CSS copy of a thing called the colourclock, which I think is now defunct)

This is inspired by those clocks that used to run before educational programming on BBC2 in the 70s and 80s.

Just a fun bunch of experiments using JS, a timer, and some CSS gradient manipulation.

The Minute Minder

Originally from one of my earlier instances of a personal website, I’m re-doing and re-posting it here, because my God it’s a perennially useful tool…

The idea is that small inconveniences can end up costing a significant chunk of money, and this calculator helps surface those costs. Perhaps it’s a slow laptop, and you need to justify buying a new one. Perhaps it’s rationalising how much time is being wasted in a regular, pointless meeting.
