Alarm Clock

by COKEDUDE - 9/18/07 11:15 AM

Can you help me find an alarm clock program that doesn't go off after you wake your computer up from hibernation or turn your computer back on, if it is a missed alarm. Having a missed alarm go off after I missed it is really annoying.

Maybe you can write your own?

Microsoft offers Visual Basic Express for free so if you want to create your own software easily you could.

Sometimes you can't find your exact software so creating your own means it does what you want.

How do I use Microsoft offers Visual Basic Express? Is it easy to figure out? I've never made any software before.

Could be easy.

For most, BASIC is a snap to learn. For instance your code could be as simple as...

alarmtime = the time you want to go off

while true
If NOW() - alarmtime = 0 then BEEP
doevents
sleep(1)
end while

This isn't the real code but an example starter idea.
