 Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2007 4:28 pm Post subject: Most charming copy written about a free stopwatch ever |
 |
|
| The man who programmed this stopwatch utility in his spare time wrote: | TimeLeft is a clock, tray clock, countdown, reminder, alarm clock, stopwatch, timer, desktop sticker and time synchronization utility. TimeLeft is attractive, easy to use, and highly configurable - it's a really beautiful software.
One more beautiful TimeLeft feature is a customizable countdown, which lives on your desktop and shows the amount of time left to (or passed after) the specified event. Countdown may be easily used in a businesslike way, to remind you of forthcoming events (meetings etc.) or job to be done. But even if you are not a business type of person, you can still use TimeLeft to just add some extra excitement to your life watching how the time left to some eagerly awaited event (be it a cruise or your friend's visit) is getting less and less. |
The person who wrote this was presumably the person who wrote the program, and as such is now my hero. I can't imagine the type of person who would have excitement added to their life by a little timer on their desktop which will tell them when their friend is coming round but I do know I want to buy them a big bowl of ice cream.
The description 'Watching seconds ticking away makes some glad event so much closer' breaks my heart and makes me think of a little hedgehog wandering through the fog to meet his friend to eat jam and bread and count the stars. |

Harveyjames,
maybe I'm overworked but that copy and your reaction made me tear up.
