How a True Geek sets his alarm clock:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

- Fire up XMMS under Linux
- Position it at your favorite track
- Go to a terminal window
- Type "echo xmms -p | at 08:00"
- Go to sleep.

And, as I did just that, I bid you g'nite.

1. LOL, you are SUCH a geek

Sleep well!

3. My low tech alarm can be set on Surfer Dude.....

It is way cool.:silly:

[Deja Q]

2. It'd cost less electricity in the long run to use your PDA...

And a lower upfront cost just to buy a $12 clock with huge honkin' green LEDs that you replaced with purple ones because green was too !&@^ing bright and red is soooooooooo commonplace...

4. I leave my machine on and online 24/7 anyway

therefore the marginal cost is zero. So there! :P

7. Right on

I used WinAlarm for windows, downloadable freeware that lets you set a calendar of times and lists of songs to play, or lists of songlists to random select from each morning. I picked "The Chicken Cow" by Wesley Willis my first time around, and didn't much feel like doing that again.
