iPhone app. Time teller

I was running to catch a bus. I had an iphone playing music in my earphones. It was a cold winter evening and "good" times after economical crisis. Not the time of waving an iphone in hands.
As there was a shortage of time I'd love my iphone to tell me time in earphones right from the jnside pocket.

Huge surprise - there is no such app in appstore.

There are some time tellers, but they are telling time once in quarter of an hour or even more seldom.
I looked for any app, not caring about price. None for the purpose.

On my way to bus I need an app that tells time in every 5min or more often.
It would be nice if that app did that just when I am running to a bus, not all the time. It would be better just start on the rigt time, announce the time and quit...

Here you are! A good app idea for free ;)

An free example I found in appstore. Useless for my purpose, but it shows that an app announcing time is possible.

Svētdienas blogotājs?

Izskatās, ka man ir izdevies kļūt par svētdienas blogotāju. Visbiežāk kaut ko uzrakstu tieši svētdienās.

Cēloņi tam ir pašsaprotami. Darbdienās nav laika. Sestdienās gribas vienkārši atpūsties. Tomēr nereti arī sestdienās nākas kaut kur braukt vai kaut ko darīt.

Ja atrodas brīva nedēļas nogale, tad svētdien pret dienas vidu jau sāk gribēties kaut ko uzrakstīt vai citādi interesantu darīt...

Svētdiena atpūtas krēslā

It kā parasta svētdiena ar slinkumu iet ārā. Šoreiz var aizbildināties ar kārtējo saaukstēšanos, bet tas tik tiešām ir aizbildinājums.

Lasīju žurnālus un skatījos manu versiju par tēmu - podcastus uz iMac. Pabeidzu lasīt Macworld, pārgāju pāri vairākām ne pārāk interesantām TED talks. Tad sākās interesantais - ne jauši, ne plānoti. Sāku šķirstīt un šo to palasīt no Scientific American, kura decembra numurs beidzot mani atradis (pēc sūdzības nu pat 2 eksemplāros).
