« This clock displays the current time alphabetically. It is inspired by this post on Mastodon.

In Three-Hand mode, the hours, minutes, and seconds are each independently sorted by their English spelling, with a hand for each.

In Combined mode, every possible time (43,200 of them) is spelled out, sorted alphabetically, and a single needle points to the current one. »

« Kamila was born in 2004. The bug she fixed was already two years old by then. She grew up, went to university, became a graduate student and a teacher and the bug just sat there, in a codebase maintained by a handful of enthusiasts, waiting.
