So this one was an interesting challenge to write. It's a clock widget for Android (you can buy it in the store), but instead of graphically or numerically representing the time, it tells you. Right now, my phone says it's "Just gone twenty-five to twelve in the afternoon" - which goes to show it's a lot harder to get this right that you might have thought (I'd never noticed that bug before).
Worse, I had the crazy idea that I should internationalize it, and found out all sorts of things about how the Dutch and Germans say the time.

But it's quite fun.
Nice
