Hi everyone.

I had some spare time so i made this countdown for my active desktop. Just decided to share it around a bit.
readme included so you can learn how to put it on your desktop <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
edit: its a html page so you can use it on your website aswell
feel free to use it whereever... it would be funny if this turned up on rr.org <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
now with very cool transperent pngs <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> (work in ie 5+ & mozilla)

here's a screenie:

    If I had to be picky, you don't say 17 minutes and 60 seconds, you say 18 minutes <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    edit: thought i fixed it so i didn't say 60 seconds but it was buggy and caused it to stop counting down after 3 minutes

    email me if you have the answer <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    instructions for xp:
    extract it somewhere first
    1. Right-click the desktop and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
    2. Click the Desktop tab.
    3. Click the Customize Desktop button.
    4. Click the Web tab.
    5. Click the New button.
    6. Click the Browse button.

    Use the Browse dialog box to locate the ns.html file on your computer.

    7. Select the image and click the Open button.
    8. Click OK to close the New Desktop Item dialog box.

    The counter doesn't show up until you close the other two dialog boxes:
