Countdown clock

I’d like to thank our friend and collaborator Corbin Davenport for this. Specially when I used to be a pain in the neck, asking for the new clock day after day, and I must say the result is, as always, really amazing (have a look on your right). You can use it on your own website. Just copy and paste this HTML code:

If you want the original clocks (for Ubuntu too) watch this at Corbin’s website. Lubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) wil be released following the general Ubuntu release schedule (more or less). Check it out at the release table for dates.

Customize your clock

The clock of your panel is a very handy and customizable tool. You can
make it show whatever you want with a few single steps, using codes
called strftime. You don’t need to memorize them all, just use the ones
you need, copy and paste. That easy…

This how this new article of our Tips’n’Tricks collection starts. Have a look!

And remember, if you have another tip or advice, and want it published at Lubuntu Blog, don’t hesitate and send it.

Edit: sorry for not posting this as a blog new.
