Jack’s Site

So while setting up my computer, I wanted a normal simple time display on the Vista Sidebar, however I could only find a 24 hour one which didn’t look too great.

So I thought about making my own and looked into it and found out they are written in not Java, C++, VB, but HTML and JavaScript, And after just a few minutes of messing around I was able to create a simple gadget, But it was just a little too simple, So I added a little extra something to it.

I’ve already started on the next version too, it has some image adjustments and shows the date.
