Alarm clocks wake me angry, lightlywake.me
- pvsnp 16y agoWaking up angry is exactly what I want.. at least I'll wake up that way.
- corin_ 16y agoAm I missing something, or does this just redirect you to your video when it's time for the alarm to go off? Some people may prefer it to an alarm sound, but it's hardly a new idea.
- beoba 16y agoThis is a solution in search of a problem - Get an alarm clock that plays cds - Burn/insert cd - All set! Plus you aren't wasting power by leaving your computer on all night PS: I recommend Massive Attack - Future Proof. The slow start is pretty much perfect.
- alnayyir 16y agomy laptops and various other machines are on 24/7 anyway. Why should I buy more hardware and burn...cds? The idea of burning cds makes me think of my adolescence. Seems rather primitive, unnecessary and inconvenient. This is pretty much all I want out of an alarm, not that I'd pay for this since I could hack up the js myself.
- pkrein 16y agotruth nobody would ever pay for this, but you don't have to cause it's free. yay.
- jefe78 16y agoMine too! I can't fathom burning CDs. Heck, when you've got 2 4U servers with 16 disks each and ~6 other machines under your desk for a total of ~60 disks, whats the harm of having a desktop machine running this?
- beoba 16y agoAre they in your bedroom? FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
- jefe78 16y agoAm I mistaken in assuming this is based on your local servers timezone? I set a test alarm and it didn't go off.
- nandemo 16y agoI'm in Japan and it worked for me.
- jefe78 16y agoI've tried it 3 times now. Assumed my time zone(EDT) and then what I assumed was a fair assumption of PDT. Nothing yet. I'd be fired if I'd trusted this!
- corin_ 16y agoNo, it's based on your local time, although it does seem to be a bit buggy.
- jefe78 16y agoYou're right. My 3rd attempt at my timezone triggered my video...
- corin_ 16y agoI was wrong, it's just actually bugged, just really bad UI. When you click the "Lightly wake me" button it disables the forms, but I didn't actually notice. So I guess the time it didn't work for me I had clicked the button an even number of times, thus un-setting the alarm. Another nasty bit of UI - you can't use tab to move from hour to minute, minute to AM/PM, or AM/PM to the "Lightly wake me" button. Overall: a very simple and already-thought of idea, fairly badly implemented. Sorry to be so blunt, whoever created this.
- pkrein 16y agowow, now that is embarassing in firefox. all fixed(?) sorry.
- philfreo 16y agoI've been using Awaken for OS X, similar... good idea to be web based though http://embraceware.com/awaken/ http://embraceware.com/awaken/
- gexla 16y agoEh, I seriously wouldn't rely on a website to wake me up. Computer pukes. Power outage. Etc. I'll stick with my trusty cell phone which will stay powered up even through a power outage. BTW, my song is "I got you babe" by Sonny and Cher. +1 for anyone who get's the joke. ;)
- shashashasha 16y agoWhoa, Groundhog Day?
- gexla 16y ago+1 ;)
- fizx 16y agoThis, then cell phone 10 minutes later. Easy enough, and I might give it a shot.
- jawartak 16y agoSupport for Grooveshark?
- dnsworks 16y agoCall me crazy, I just live in a bedroom with eastern exposure, and I let the sun wake me up.
- aik 16y agoWouldn't it have to start out lightly to be considered "lightly"wake.me? I was hoping the site would start with a low volume and slowly become louder over time.
