I’ve been using T-Clock since that first 1995 version. The more recent one, however, which I now consider to be “best-of-breed” among the various T-Clock versions was written by a fellow who calls himself “Stoic Joker.” He stripped-out a few features from earlier version, leaving in only the most salient and useful… and by so doing, actually made it better.

The problem is that Stoic Joker’s web site isn’t reliable. It’s up for awhile, then down, then up… oy! Plus, I found in a forum posting where he described some kind of computer catstrophe which made it so he lost a bunch of his most recent source code. So, I don’t actually know what the future of his version of T-Clock now is.

However, it’s worth having his version because, from what I can tell, it’s the only one that works properly on Vista… maybe even Windows 7, too (though I’ve not tested that yet). It also works on earlier Windows versions.

It’s lightweight (not bloated or bloatware), no adware or spyware or anything in it, and it has some interesting capabilities (in addition to being able to make the system tray clock look just the way one likes it).

Because Stoic Joker’s site is so often down, I put an unofficial page for his utility (from which it may be downloaded) on one of my servers… just as a public service. The page has no advertising or any ulterior motives. As Stoic Joker did a public service by writing the best-yet copy of T-Clock, I’m doing a public service by ensuring that it’s still available. Nothing more. The page also has some useful configuration information on it which I’ve never seen anywhere else.

So, if anyone’s interested…
