A CAN-WILD suitable alarm clock

**ludr** · 11-03-2010 02:09 AM

I've read the CAN-WILD guide, and there seems to be a lot of buzz on "buying" an alarm clock. I just made an ABSOLUTELY FREE one in VS2010! I put it on my home server:
http://www.mmtq.tk/files/OpenAlarm.zip
Extract the ZIP to anywhere you like.
The alarm is "OpenAlarm.exe." Just input your alarm time as ex. "5:30", not "05:30." And browse to your WAV alarm.
Included is a small batch file to convert MP3 to WAV in case you don't have WAV alarm sounds. Replace "input.mp3" with your MP3, rename it to "input.mp3", and execute the "MP3toWAV.bat" file. Good luck!

P.S. This program relies on .NET Framework 2. If the program doesn't run (it probably will starting from XP SP3), please download it from
Download details: Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86)

P.P.S. If you are interested, a source code repository is available at:
Index of /files/OpenAlarm/

Edit: This alarm will crop your audio to 5 seconds. Great for WILD! AND you can use my included "output.wav" which is a recognizably terrible orignal remix of the "Intel Inside" ad sound.

I really want to make one for Android. Mind if I rip off your project and give you credit?

of course not. Forgot to tell you, my program is under GPLv3. You can do anything except sell it!

Excellent! I'll work what I can.

A quick reminder: Please open the source of your version and release it under GPL.
By the way, how is dev work going?

I am doing research on using the accelerameter to detect the user's sleep cycle. iPhone had a thing that did that. I am sure I can do one for CAN-WILD.
