An Amazing Idea.

[linkspast]

So we have a thread for Incredible Internet Videos.
How about those things that are not in video form.
Such as this... An alarm clock.....That runs and hides from you!

I think that's the stupidest idea ever. Apparently some people have issues getting up in the morning. I'm in the minority on this but I've never used a snooze button, or had any problems getting up. My alarm clock is from the 80's, and i've never had any problems except me accidently setting the wrong AM/PM.

I personally use Winamp as an alarm clock :P it's great waking up to chiptunes.

That's not a bad idea at all. I was thinking about picking up one of those Ipod alarm dock thingys. But i figure the music i wakeup to doesn't really matter. It would be cool to listen to my ipod on, but i usually just plug it into my guitar amp.

I personally use this plugin:

I had another one, but this one handles all my wacky file formats [because I have chiptunes and music mods that have their own loop points] and it's the least complicated, I've found.

Installed it, but it doesn't pop up under my preferences option. I am really confused here.

I just use my cellphone as alarm clock. I can set a few different alarms, on specific days of the week, and assign a different MP3 to each one. Quite useful.

Not a default function though, but a French addon program that replaces the builtin alarm clock(Which is limited to short files for some stupid reason)

I use my cell phone as well. It has three alarms, which is usually the same number of snoozes I hit anyway.

This thread is getting a bit derailed. This is kind of cool. (http://www.hamiltonspectator.com/media_archive/jan-11-2007_a.html)

There are a few different plugins for Winamp to use it as an alarm clock... I've used a few and most have been rubbish, but I'll check out this one, OC. =)
Lately I've just been using the windows scheduler to open an .mp3 or .m3u at the specified time; works well enough.
