I've had enough warm feelings from the nice comments by people about my
clock to more than make up for any lost millions. Really, I have a hard
time thinking about patents. I pretty much think that there are so few new
ideas that unless you have a huge staff and plenty of dollars to throw
around, a patent is less useful than your average lottery ticket.

The clock is cool because it pulls together lots of interesting details,
but that makes it harder to patent. Just wait until I finish the code for
the "simulated analog hands"! I've started on it. Is that patentable? I
don't care.

P.S. The address of my web server is still not resolving, and I finally
tracked it down. The company that I get the connection from split into two
companies, and somehow the wrong half got my internic registration, and
cancelled it! I straightened it out today(I had to pay a second time) and
it should work Friday or Monday. Until then, the number 208.199.97.202
substituted for www.bobblick.com will get you in.
