As an Android user, i like the idea of widgets. I previously made the Abstruse Goose comic widget, which i keep on my Homescreen, but i also want a decent clock widget. It turns out there are very few decent digital clocks in the market. The one i've been using up until now is called Retro Clock, which looks pretty decent, but doesn't have the date showing. So a few weeks back, i quickly coded up my own, similarly styled, but including the date. Being the nice guy that i am, i put it on the market. Within 2 hours i had requests for a 12hr version. I didn't realise that people had trouble with 24 hour time, but the demand was relatively large, so i added it. Turns out that there was a lot more demand for the clock in general than i could have ever expected.

As of 13 November 2009, there have been 7077 09 June 2010, there have been 166658 downloads of the clock. Since release i've added ways to work around people using auto task killers which kill my update service, and some minor theming support, just because people like colors.
