Binary Clocks... by carthax 2006-11-19 12:55:59
Someone posted a link to a night-stand binary clock the other day. The geek in me, who is still learning VB, took that as a challenge: Can it be done easily and quickly in VB? The answer is: Yes! Even taking into consideration the time to figure out how to convert decimals to binaries! :-)

This program sits in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen and tells the time in binary format. I coded a black background with white dots for off and red dots for on. There is no border and it doesn't show in the Taskbar, so it looks like it's a part of my black background image. I think it looks rather cool. :-D Source code is included below if someone wants to change the colors for their own use.
