Did you know...

That there's a hidden clock on TBCS? Oh yes.

See the banner at the top of the screen, which shows little pictures of Paul's Mods? The pictures change every minute, rotating through a collection of 60 pictures. If you see the same picture twice, then you've been on the site for an hour. The picture of Paul working away at his bench marks the hour, so when you see that you know it's X o'clock.

It's strange, but because I wrote the code and know which pictures come when, I've been using the banner pictures to tell the time. I'm curious as to what would happen if I made this public knowledge...

very interesting, but i deeply hope that all the tbcs group dont start saying its 15 minutes past pauls bench

lol. Good one!

[DaveW]

What do you think of the rotating banner in any case? Yes, I know that most of you would like to see your own mods in the site header. Remember that's the juiciest cut of the website though; that's the prime spot where advertisers want their stuff. There is talk about perhaps adding some user mods, but we can't think of a way to do that fairly yet, so please, avoid this subject. Do you like the pretty pictures?

The one with his signature, right? I have seen that and wondered at its significance, figuring there had to be one. Well, indeed so!

I had always wondered the significance of that top banner, besides showing off Paul's awesome mods. I never new it changed every minute though lol, pretty cool.

I would love to see some members mods up there. There are some great mods going around that I think deserve the honour.

What do you think of the rotating banner in any case?I just thought it was a different picture every time the page changes. Although I never really look at the top for long anyway.

I just thought it was a different picture every time the page changes. Although I never really look at the top for long anyway.

I knew it stayed the same if the page was reloaded right away.

[DaveW]

Thought I'd resurrect this thread to see if people are now using Paul's workbench to tell the hour, as I do... :)
