I made a small script for bell lovers or... church people. The script can chime/strike quarter-hours and on the hour. I do not know if this has ever been done here on the forum... So, my apologies if yes.
Features:
- strike quarter-hours
- strike on the hour once... or the number of hours
- toll distinctively every six hours [early morning, at noon, in the evening and at midnight]
- tick/tock background sound
- easy to configure intervals to chime or to keep silent
- options to automatically limit chimes if music is playing in the background or if videos play in full-screen
- option to display time when it chimes/strikes/toll ;-)
- ... with an analog clock display, if you want
- astronomy basics: sun and moon positions on the sky, sun rises and sets, moon phases, moon rises and sets, equinoxes and solstices, and tables and graph for sunlight and moonlight lengths through-out the year, and much more
- display a random Bible verse in English, French, Spanish, or other languages, at a user-defined frequency.
- option to set an alarm or a timer
- stopwatch - to help you track activities
- option to display / indicate / observe (Orthodox or Catholic) Christian feast days or secular holidays; automatically calculates the dates for Easter and related celebrations
- option to regularly play semantron drumming sounds on holidays or celebrations in Christianity;
- ability to create a custom list of user defined holidays, events or celebrations
- option to start at boot [if compiled]
