Nixie Watch
Last evening I read Lifehacker interview of Steve Wozniak. He said "I do have a Nixie Tube watch"… Uh, sorry? Was that Nokia 5800, which was codenamed "Tube"? As a watch?
After some googling I discovered an amazing analog watch, in the wrist of Steve Wozniak. I wanted one immediately, but couldn't have. So the next evening I did the second best thing: wrote a Nixie Tube look-a-like application. Hope you like it, too!
Main Features
- Shows current time (it's a watch)
- Portrait screen with 3 rows of two nixie tubes: top row hours, middle row minutes, bottom row seconds.
- Landscape screen with 3 columns of two nixie tubes: left column hours, middle column minutes, right column seconds.
- Screensaver is disabled while app is visible
- Last selected tube color is used by default
Installation
This application requires PyS60 1.4.x. Install the SIS file on same disk drive as the python runtime. That's PyS60 1.4.x runtime, PyS60 1.9.x is NOT supported. jouni.miettunen
