Hey Pascal
Thanks very much for your offer. I am going to work on the networking part first - that seems trickiest - and then come back to the actual clock. In the meantime, I will download your clock and see what I can learn from you regarding morphs.
Cheers Andy

Hi Andy,
if I can help for the presentation part (not for the networking part), let me know. I've built an analog clock with some additional features (see www.squeaksource.com/AnalogClock). One feature is to show a specific duration (with start and stop time) as a morph embedded in the clock's dial. When the event has started I shrink its morph each minute. When stop time is reached the morph disappears. Right now this behavior is triggered by dropping an iCal-information on the clock.
Kind regards, Pascal

Hello I want to build a count down clock that will be used for presenters at an upcoming conference. The important point is that the clock needs to be started and stopped by the 'admin' guy, but displayed on one or more screens for the speaker.
My initial thought was to do it in seaside. However, I then wondered whether it would be better to build it all in Squeak. The benefit of the Squeak approach (I am guessing) is that I could somehow broadcast to the
listening
images that I wanted them to start/stop, rather than have them polling every second. Obviously, the app is tiny, so in practical terms it doesn't
matter
either way, but I am now curious about how I might communicate the start/stop messages over the network to the images. Is this relatively easy in Squeak?
cheers Andy
