bclock

There’s a clock in my grandparents’ house. It’s been called ‘broken clock’ (‘bclock’ for short) since I can remember but it always worked well. Last time I saw it, questions popped up in my mind:

Most likely, it would be thrown out, then there would be another bclock, then people would forget it.

I do not have confidence to say I will not forget it but I do want to keep this old friend in some way, physically. And that’s why here’re the scripts.

2 steps to have bclock on PC:

  1. Get the code in local.
    $ git clone https://github.com/gniquyij/bclock.git
    
  2. Set an hourly chime. crontab -e then vi input and save:
    0 * * * * /Users/<user-name>/bclock/bclock.sh   # get <user-name> via $ whoami
    

Wish bclock forever.
