    I love this clock. Thank you Gary.
    I have now changed my desktop wallpaper to a photograph of the Palace of Westminster and have your widget sitting in the correct place on the clock tower. With a little Photoshop work on the wallpaper's colour temperature it's now indistinguishable from the background. My wife says I'm mad. I think I'm just misunderstood.

    Almost perfect, but...

    But the hour chimes need to happen much closer to the 4 quarter chimes that precede them. Other than that, perfect!

    Hourly Chimes

    I believe I programmed them to be precisely the same as Big Ben itself. I had the help of an Englishman, and remembered asking questions and setting things to be as close to the original as possible. To the best of my knowledge, the sounds were actual recordings of Big Ben, and the timing comes from a first hand witness that said the 4 quarter chimes start 24 seconds before the hour, and the hourly tolls start on the hour. If this information is incorrect, please let me know the correct timing and I will fix it.

    Do you have a wallpaper of England showing the Big Ben? or maybe you have the complete image when you're taking the photo to be used by this widget? It would be lovely to have a "live" desktop wallpaper.

    This is a really sweet widget, I absolutely love it!! I do have one question, though: when I double-click on the clock to get it to talk to me, after telling me the time it says something that sounds like "page m"--what is that??
