I have a real treat for you today. After Tuesdays post introduced you to binary numbers I thought it would be fitting to release some of the Binary Clock Screensavers that I have developed over the years.
Binary Clock Screensaver #1
Click here to download (879kb)
The first offering is a screensaver clock I developed many years ago. This has been sitting around since its development and has never been released publicly, until now.
The time is display in binary numbers horizontally across the screen. The top row is the number of hours, the middle row is the number of minutes and the last row is the number of seconds.
Binary Clock Screensaver #2

The second screensaver was developed several years later and is simply an updated version of the first one. Red lights display the time, instead of 1's and 0's we have lights that are either on or off.
In the same fashion as screensaver #1: The time is display in binary numbers horizontally across the screen. The top row is the number of hours, the middle row is the number of minutes and the last row is the number of seconds.
Binary Clock Screensaver #3

This has been my all-time favourite. It has been released on other websites (including my personal blog and a screensaver service that was released a few years ago). It is based on the binary clock that you can purchase from ThinkGeek.
It may look a little more complicated at first, but it's actually a little easier. Instead of having to calculate the entire value for hour, minute and seconds you simply work out the number for each digit. Also, instead of being displayed horizontally they are displayed vertically.
Have a look at the photo supplied by ThinkGeek which explains how the clock works:
If you like the look of all the above screensavers then I highly recommend downloading them with a single click by clicking here.
These screensavers are free from viruses, free from spyware, free from adware but best of all free to download. If you have any questions or suggestions about these screensavers please post a comment below.
