Re:Clock Interface

On: Inventors Wanted (Add To The Wishlist)

The article also missed a cool clock feature that I haven't seen yet (OK, I haven't been looking recently).

An alarm clock that lets you set different times for different days (+ choice of no alarm, for weekends). Also, a temporary override where you can set the next day's alarm to be a different time, and then it will go back to the old setting after that.

Pretty trivial if I could hack the clock software...
