Damo's Alarms 'N Timers -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This application was first considered when I realized that I could find no real good freeware application for Windows that handles multipurpose alarms and timers functionality. I was impressed by the capability of the stock 'Alarms' application that comes bundled with the fresh install X11 applications for Ubuntu and Debian, so at first I was trying to model my application after this. While not really similar in appearance, the purpose is similar-- to make available an infinite amount of concurrent specific alarm settings (with custom notification sounds) and countdown timers (also with custom notification sounds). I never made it through the first attempt at writing this application due to poor knowledge of C# and maintainable coding practices in general. I attempted to start a rewrite a couple of years ago in Portland, but the living situation there was not so condusive to finishing it. So, with a much better grasp of coding practice now, I'm attempting a from-scratch rewrite. I've also added a 'reminder' functionality to the application, which is basically just an alarm with a text message reminder. I've got some other ideas for spicing things up that I'm going to be throwing in, as well, as soon as basic functionality is completed. That's it for now; the first version's disclaimer [below] still applies. :) This is my first serious application in C#, and as such, I am learning quite a bit about the language, and proper coding technique, as I go. This is a work in progress, and should not be judged on its codebase, or functionality, until I say that it's complete and perfect. :)
