Setting House Clocks after Power Outage
Hmm, very clever! But, it takes 2.1 seconds to announce the time, which is an error of nearly 50% over the 5 second granularity! Do I set the clock on my microwave at the start, end, or midpoint of the announcement? ;) Edited on May 04, '11 05:10:24AM by Mac Berry
Setting House Clocks after Power Outage
You're correct: you'd need to set the clock at the start of the message. Programming it to announce the time ahead of a synchronized tone would be a good challenge for a different day.
With added beeps!
I realise you were joking, but ask and you shall receive
sleep $((10-$(date +%S)%10)) ; while :; do t=$SECONDS; say "At the third beep the time will be $(date -v +10S "+%l %M and %S seconds")"; sleep $((10+$t-$SECONDS-2)); printf "\a"; sleep 1 ; printf "\a"; sleep 1; printf "\a"; doneEdited on May 04, '11 11:50:04AM by applescripter

Ooh neat!
With added beeps!
You forgot to mention that you have to enable audible beeps in the Terminal preferences. Some of us have turned them off. |
