I surely don't! So to those that voted this FUN piece of Python coding down, you are now about to see what the aim was.</p> <p>However although I have subsequently done what I said I would, that is, to create large digits as an _at_a_glance_ digital readout for a project in Python I have decided not to upload it. However I have decided to let this one go as a bash/shell script instead.</p> <p>It is a nothing but a simple clock, well, maybe not that simple; but as I am into shell stuff at the moment I thought I would share this with you.</p> <p>The terminal does have its colours changed and the cursor disabled for the session but I expect you big guns to be able to return back to normal in a jiffy.</p> <p>I am an amateur coder and if that is easy for me then you pros should have no problems.</p> <p>This code is not like most of my other stuff as is NOT Public Domain...</p> <p>It is only a DEMO to see what an at a glance display would look like in a terminal.</p> <p>Move away to a distance and see which of the two time readings you can still read... ;o)</p> <p>It is for a Macbook Pro 13" OSX 10.7.5 and uses bash imode. It will probably work on most Linux machines too but I haven't tested it...</p> <p>This is purely a DEMO only and any other special effects, (e.g. flashing colon every second), alram, etc, I have already experimented with and is easy enough to do...</p> <p>My intention is to use this as a kids level text mode digital voltmeter I am doing.</p> <p>Enjoy...</p> <p>Bazza...</p>
