The ads-clock program allows you to use your terminal as a clock.
Got a laptop that you plug into a much larger display? Rather than close the
lid on the laptop or otherwise abandon it while working on the larger display,
throw an ads-clock on that bad boy.
Stupid, I know...
Here's an animated GIF (created from a screencast in an xterm stretched across most of the screen) on my 3200x1800 laptop display:
Depending on the screen on which you are viewing the above animated image, you
may or may not be able to see the tiny text typed at the console at the
beginning of the loop. It is just the ads-clock command invoked with no
arguments. The end of the loop shows quitting out of the clock by hitting
CTRL-C (which sends a SIGINT to the ads-clock program).
