This is a fun script for telling English Time
English Time is
" Quarter past Two "
" half past Four "
" Seven o'clock "
The time will be accurate at the five minute times of a analogue clock
i.e. 5,10,15,20 etc
The in between minutes 6,7,8,9 etc will be rounded to the nearest 5 mins.
You can run the script at the command line to see the resulting time.
I used an instance of conky to put it on the desktop.
conky code:
Code: Select all
TEXT
${font FFF Tusj:size=60}${color orange}${alignc}${execi 30 /root/./english_time}http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/40-free-hi ... awn-fonts/
Might be useful for people visting England to understand English time
possible changes are endless
"Nine o'clock" could be "tea time"
"Quarter past Eleven" could be "bed time"
