FaaRClock 1.0: Use an analog clock as your screensaver
by Simon Kerbel Mar 5th 2008 at 7:00PM
FaaRClock 1.0 is a program for Windows that displays a simple and very readable analog clock as your computer's screensaver. We're almost positive that this is the screensaver Flavor Flav has installed on his computer. The download and install is simple. Upon existing the installation, you'll be prompted to make FaaRClock your default screensaver.
Additional settings are available in the screensaver tab found in your Windows Display Properties. Those settings allow you to:
- Choose a background color
- Set an input method to wake up the computer (mouse click, mouse movement, customized hot key, etc...)
The only requirement is Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Flash Player 8 or higher. FaaRClock 1.0 is free.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

There is a small error: between 12 and 1 o'clock, the small hand does not move from 12... (Try!) :D
I have notified the developer too, just thought to let you know also.

I just saw that bug too.
Looks like a new version is now available that fixes it -- version 1.02. Unfortunately, the font is now very ugly.
I used to use this to teach my kids to tell time -- now they can't read the funny over-serif'd numbers. :-(
