I know what your thinking, You and everyone else has always wanted a clock that sits at the top of your command prompt and tells you the time.

Why ?

I made this in first year when i spent countless hours programming and little in bed. I decided i needed somthing that told me all the things i needed to know in one easy location, the top of the screen.. So here it the pauls magical clock of sit on top of my screen.

Sorry about the lack of comments and meaningful varible names, its quite a hacked together little clock
