For those of you that don't know what beats are, it's a time measurement that swatch invented a long time back now. 24 hours = 1000 beats. I'm googling to find an app that can add beats to the windows clock, or put it somewhere on my taskbar or something, to no avail. Any ideas? |

It was used back on the old dreamcast to arange games. Why? Because it's a universal time. 0000 beats here, is 0000 beats in South Africa. I'd like to get back in to that habit. |

why not use GMT? Or UTC? |

GMT and UTC are timezones, his thing sounds more like a unit of time measurement. |

GMT is a time zone, but it's a startingpoint. Just like 0000 beats is a startingpoint. Instead of Greenwich, it's Biel in Switzerland. Beat is not in the SI so it sucks by definition. Here's a link to a Wikipedia article about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time |

Im all for decimalisation, but I doubt it will ever get standardised, simply because we wont be able to shrug off the "second" length of time. |

Of course it wont get standardised, it's been out for years, and you guys have never heard of it. Though satis did say he'd like a metric time scale ![]() All I can find is standalone apps. Hmm. ooh ooh I might have it EDIT: Nope. All I want to do is add beats to the windows clock, not have a program running. |
