Intro
Purpose of DeciTime
This application is only fun, although there are some benefits from calculating time with the decimal system instead of the 24/60/60 system we are all used to.
Background
One day consists of 24 hours of 60 minutes, each of 60 seconds. This calculates to 86.400 seconds a day.Why not count this way: One day is 10 decimal hours with 100 decimal minutes, each of 100 decimal seconds. This would sum up to 100.000 decimal seconds a day. So 1 decimal second equals exactly 0.864 second and the decimal time will tick a little bit quicker than the normal time.
To name these decimal things Sergey Zaytsev proposed to call it Dours, Dinutes and Deconds, and so do I with his kind permission.
(See "sergeizaytsev.com/dime" for his implementation of a decimal clock).
Usage of DeciTime
Well, nothing complicated to be described! Open the preferences panel from the DeciTime menu, from the dock menu or the context menu of the on-screen clock. There you will find all secrets:
Have fun with this application and send me any suggestions, bug reports and critics to info@filewell.de.
Sincerely, Robert
