Thanks for finding this.. I have sent it to the IOTA eGroup.. Derek -----Original Message----- From: seesat-l-bounces+thomas=flyingkettle.com@satobs.org [mailto:seesat-l-bounces+thomas=flyingkettle.com@satobs.org] On Behalf Of Robert Knight Sent: Monday, November 14, 2011 4:51 AM To: seesat-l@satobs.org Subject: Time ticks on a computer [SOLVED] I think I have a solution for Jay Respler's request for *"a program for a Windows XP computer that has ... a tick every second, similar to WWV."* The program is called "WWV Simulator," and is available for Windows and UNIX/Linux, with a freeware download at: http://www.atkielski.com/main/data/WWV32.exe It's non-vocal, but it *does* beep WWV-style -- every second, with long beeps every tenth second, and a higher tone for the beginning of each new minute, with a thin popup onscreen indicating UTC. The author, Anthony Atkielski (www.atkielski.com), describes it as follows: *"This very simple Windows program displays the UTC date and time, and produces a series of variable beeps inspired by the audio time signals broadcast by the NIST in the United States from radio station WWV in Fort Collins, Colorado...."* Hope this helps (this is my first SeeSat-L message)! * * *-Robert Knight* * * *Ubiquity... has its place. * *But that's neither here nor there.* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
