Big Ben feed
      #55860 - 07/29/05 01:16 PM

I updated this to put the clock in the right place, and also to give it a refresh interval of one second. Interesting to see whether that interval will work over remote connections.

Let me know how well it works remotely. Thanks - Sid

It does show up, but the second hand only moves every 2 to 3 seconds. Must be the delay from you to me.

I set the refresh interval to 2 secs since I wasn't sure whether my connection was going to get pounded

That's really cool.
But, why didn't you put the overlay on the real BigBen?

I was in a hurry - if I can edit this post later I'll relocate it to an extruded tower in Westminster. You're right - for a little more effort it can look a lot better. Turns out that my server can easily handle the 2 sec refresh rate, so might also double it to 1 sec - Sid

I dumped my ISP since they don't support KML or PHP - and got a provider who does.

Redid the clock animation in PHP - please see whether my first go at php works well enough.

I set the refresh rate to an ambitious one per sec.

Thanks - Sid

Actually this is pretty cool!

If you could make a rotating London Eye in the background, I'd feel like I was in London!
