Fred Graute has released a new version of MiniTime. The software displays a discreet window on the RISC OS screen with the date and time, and can be configured in various ways to make it useful yet unobtrusive.

Check your clock is working with ClockWork
Depending on what RISC OS system you are using, it’s possible that it doesn’t have a battery backed system clock. It’s also possible that it does have one, but the battery isn’t as reliable as it once was. In either case, you might find that whenever you switch the machine on, the computer might be a little confused about the time and date.

Fred Graute has released another new version of MiniTime, an application that displays the date and time in an icon or a small, unobtrusive window, allowing the user to see the information at a glance, but without the application or its window getting in the way. The headline features of version 1.06 are:

Fred Graute has brought out another new version of MiniTime, his application for displaying the date and time in a small icon or window, without taking up too much space or generally getting in the way of your day to day use of the computer. With version 1.05, Fred has increased the configurability of MiniTime in a couple of ways:
Read MoreMiniTime gains access to bigger units of time
Micro moment monitor manages massive months! Once upon a time there was an application called SmallTime, which sprouted from the programming hands of James Freeman. That application, however, has never been updated to run on 32-bit hardware such as the Iyonix, let alone modern ARMv7-based platforms. Aemulor can save the day, but that’s hardly ideal, and the licence under which SmallTime was released meant newer versions updated by third parties couldn’t be distributed. Fred Graute therefore took SmallTime as his inspiration, and developed a completely new application that achieved the…

Announcement from Chris Evans of 4D, 6th September, 2013 CJEMicro’s/4D are pleased to announce a replacement clock module for the RiscPC, A7000+, A7000, A5000, A4000, A3020, A3010 and A3000. Failing Real Time Clocks (RTCs) and CMOS memory is a big problem for many earlier Acorn computers. Leaking batteries can cause extensive damage, but when the damage is limited to affecting the clock then our module can provide the solution.
