The Glenfiddich Desktop Clock
Our friends in America have just released a very nifty piece of software. The Glenfiddich Desktop Clock is a downloadable programme consisting of a series of pictures which were all taken in and around our distillery in Dufftown. Local photographer John Paul took on the challenge of sourcing the 720 pictures needed to illustrate every minute of a 12-hour clock – quite a task considering he was asked for every picture to contain numbers relating to the time they were meant to demonstrate (e.g. 247 for 2.47pm)! The result is a small clock which sits on your desktop and synchronises with your computer. As minutes pass, new pictures appear.
A word of warning though. Before you hit the download button - it can be distracting if, like me, you try to guess where all the pictures were taken. I’ve worked here for eight years but it seems I haven’t visited every place yet, as some of the pictures remain a mystery to me. I’ll need to have a word with John!
To download the Glenfiddich clock, please visit the 'Fiddich Fellowship website, which I introduced some time ago on this blog. The address is www.fiddichfellowship.com. Enjoy!
Best regards,
Ludo

Hi Ludo
It's now running at my PC too. It's quite difficult to guess, as you writes, where the pictures are taken. Fantastic idea, never seen something like this before
Kind regards
