For a bit of fun/silliness, how’s about one of those 24 days 14:11:59 countdown thingies until the SXSW preview? Or too gimmicky/cheesy? smile

OK instead of a normal countdown widget, I’ve made one that appears to countdown while suspending time indefinitely.

You just have to press reset every 108 minutes.

Cron job should take care of that.

You guys could show 1.6.2 and I’d still clap and cheer.

This is, quite possibly, the nicest thing anybody has ever said to the dev team.

I second the 1.6.2 comment.  It’s awesome.

I’ve been impressed with the updates in the various 1.6.x releases. Can’t wait to see what a whole new version number brings.

Well I’m glad some good came of this thread, other than me making Les cry & following up with an obscure Lost time loop theory (possible spoilers) reference, lol smile

There absolutely isn’t a countdown here if anyone is interested wink
