Download the Dharma Initiative Countdown Clock!

Lost fans watchout! Want to see what it’s like to input the numbers ever 108 minutes? Download the Dharma Initiative Countdown Clock for Windows and try it for yourself! Kalrac wrote this program that simulates the clock of The Swan. Every 108 minutes, the user has to input the correct restart code. Get it right, and the world is safe for another 108 minutes. Fail to input to the code and… well, it’s up to you to try it out. The program needs the .Net Framework to run. Most Windows XP machines should have that. If not, it can be downloaded here from Microsoft.

You must be a real lost geek to check this out. If you are really willing to check out what happens after 108 minutes, try the program thats all we can say. Yes you literally have to wait the 108 minutes via this program even though its a computer simulation. Check out a screenshot of the proggie as seen below:

Wow, Interestingly the timer screenshot was taken at 62 mintes! 6+2=8, one of the lost numbers. I guess the numbers are everywhere.

ANZAC Day and the one o'clock gun

Today is ANZAC day, originally the day of remembrance for the troops of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and others who fell at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I.
I play in the Central Band of the Royal British Legion Scotland and each year we provide music for the remembrance service in the Scottish National War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle, so I was up there this morning with my trombone. It's a nice gig to play because the acoustics in the memorial building are lovely for hymn tunes, and because the service means a lot to the people who attend. A number of them had kind words of thanks for us at the end.
On the way back down from the memorial we were just in time to see the one o'clock gun being fired and I captured it on my mobile (sideways - by the time I'd realised my error it had gone off). The quality's rotten but, my, the things you can do with modern technology, eh?
