Front Desks are for Chumps
16 May, 2004
I find myself tonight in New York City without an alarm clock. This probably isn't much of an issue, as I rarely sleep much past 7:00 AM these days, but seeing as I'm staying at a place that doesn't have a front desk, as such, (it's a long story, but a nice place) I figured I should look into something I can run on my PowerBook to wake me up.
There's no shortage of alarm clock utilities out there for OS X, but most are shareware and as I only need it for the next five days, I can't be bothered.
Especially since I found this most excellent page that addresses the problem in true geek fashion:
Rock on!
