May 2006 Scavenger Hunt: "A clock face"
Shortly after moving to our new office, some of my colleagues started demanding a wall clock. I never understood why, because we all work with computers -- which have clocks on the desktop -- and we have fancy Cisco phones which display the time too. Still, this clock went on the wall as an interim measure / form of protest.
We now have a nice wall clock that gets the time from a radio transmitter in Rugby, but Glenn's Clock remains, correct twice a day, telling us it's home time.
My Moonbeam Alarm Clock broke, so I had to get a new one. I found this at Urban Outfitters. It's an alarm clock/radio/MP3 speaker - very functional!!!
the owner of this store got suspicious when i was taking a photo through the window because she couldn't understand why i was talking a photo of the clock. you may agree with her.
Supposedly the wisest of birds, this astute little owl found its perch only recently, though the Seth Thomas clock has been in the family since 1864. The bird's presence in this spot is a good reminder since wisdom takes time to acquire. My great grandfather bought the clock when he was seeing military service at Ft. Vancouver, WA, in that year - a pretty wise purchase for a lad of 19, I think. The statuette was cast in India, so I hope it brings me some of the wisdom of the sub-continent. The clock was in my grandmother's possession during my childhood. Then it went to my parents, and now, just this last week, it has come into my care. It's a treasured item and brings many memories.
This clock was added to the Jewelers Building during construction in the late 1920s. Notice father time at the top of it.
This clock uses an Arduino to display the incoming DCF77 Radio Code and also display pulse information. It is based on the clock by edr1924 here www.flickr.com/photos/edr1924/albums/72157646579220681
The clock also uses a 2nd Arduino to filter the incoming signal if required
The Fob watch, designed by Seiko, was given as a gift to the people of Melbourne. The watch has a twelve and a half metre, two tonne chain, which was taken down during the centre's refurbishment and has since not been re-attached. Every hour, on the hour, a marionette display drops down from the bottom of the watch with Australian galahs, cockatoos and two minstrels performing Waltzing Matilda, under the watchful gaze of some koalas.

Clock towers were first built in Ottoman territories in the 16th century and would often also function as barometers, windmills, compasses, fire watchtowers or meeting points. After the decleration of the Republic of Turkey, cities were built around clock towers, especially in Anatolia. Only 52 of 144 clock towers built during the Ottoman period still exist today.

Saat kuleleri Osmanlı topraklarında 16. yüzyılda görülmeye başlandı; saatçiliğe meraklı olan II. Abdülhamid’in tahta çıkışının 25. yıl dönümünde (1901) valilere gönderdiği “irade” (ferman) ile vilayet ve sancaklara yayıldı. Halkın görebileceği yüksek bir tepeye, şehrin en kalabalık meydanına ya da kale, cami gibi tarihî yapıların üstüne inşa edilen saat kuleleri, aynı zamanda barometre, rüzgâr gülü, pusula, yangın gözetleme yeri ve buluşma noktası işlevi görürdü. Cumhuriyet’le birlikte özellikle Anadolu’daki kentler, kuleler çevresinde meydan oluşturulacak şekilde kurulmuştur. Osmanlı döneminde yapılan 144 saat kulesinden 52’si günümüze ulaşmıştır.

Here is the second picture of the clock. This time from the inside.

My new clock! Finally got around to finishing it, after probably 4 years of it sitting around in my study gathering dust... Apologies for the carp video - blame the phone.
The clock tower in Market Place, Bexleyheath. The bust is of William Morris. On the opposite side is King George VI remember it always looked larger, perhaps it is the surrounding buildings which have grown.

I used an old Canon optical image stabilizer lens [EF-S 17-85mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM] on an EOS 450D DSLR. With exposures of up to a 1/4 of a second, most of the images had to be discarded, and the remainder are very "grainy" / "noisy", but the pictures at least form a sort of record of the event...
This is my first attempt at what is commonly called HDR. Since this was a night photo I could not get the exposure right for both the scene and the brightness of the clock. I took two photos, one properly exposed for the clock faces and one for the rest of the scene and selectively blended them in Paint.NET to create a single image with proper exposure for both elements.
View of the clock face inside the Cathedral. Located in the north transept, it’s an astronomical clock inside but an ‘ordinary’ one on the outside. The original mechanism dates from between 1386 and 1392, but was replaced in the 19th century, and eventually moved to the Science Museum in London, where it continues to operate. The dial represents a geocentric view of the universe, with sun and moon revolving around a central Earth. Above, every quarter hour a figure comes out to hit two bells, and a pair of jousting knights chase each other.
After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back fiddling with the Doughnut Board clock and I discovered that I had very nearly finished the mainboard! Even more very nearly than I'd thought. All I needed to add was one wire and a clock crystal, then install the chips.
...oh yeah, and one resistor I forgot to put in. Very luckily there was a place for it, since it's a fairly important part.
And with that, there was nothing for it but the inevitable bolting to a crudely-sawn piece of wood scrap and carting it upstairs to the software development zone.
So now, though it may not look like it, this circuit is a functioning clock. I was able to send a preliminary version of the clock software to the microcontroller (MCU) and monitor it through the debugging cable from the Development Environment of Kings. That allows me to start the program running on the circuit and watch its progress on my laptop's screen - what an age we live in, that this can be done with cheap hardware!
Currently the circuit just sets the time to twelve seconds to midnight, then I can watch the display tick over to 00:00:00 in the laptop's chip memory viewing window. Not quite as cool as seeing it on the actual nixies, but in its own way pretty awesome and a big rush knowing that I put at least that much of the circuit together properly.
