Google subverted the 1998 rules of website survival: Beg, plead, trick, force your users into clicking ads. Make your downloads not work unless ads are clicked. Generate fake clicks. Clicks, clicks, clicks or die. Google survived without selling our clicks to anyone else. They looked like a beacon of light in a web of 99% pure sleaze.

Looked at in that light, they're as pure-as-snow as they were in 1998. They're still chugging along "for free", and if their search isn't what it's was, it's still on the "good" side of okay. We just finally understand the implications of what they've been selling, and to whom, all along.

NAME
wmtime - Window Maker dockapp that displays the time and date SYNOPSIS
wmtime [ OPTION ] DESCRIPTION
WMTime displays the time and date and gives you some nice additional features too. It is intended for docking in Window Maker. It currently provides: o the time and date; o a realtime morphing interface (analog <> digital mode); o auto-scaled and anti-aliased hands; o localization, displaying the day and date in various languages; o three user-defined commands to launch. OPTIONS
-d, -digital Display the digital clock on startup, instead of the analog clock. -display display This option specifies the X server to contact; see X(7x). -geometry geometry This option specifies the preferred position of clock; see X(7x). -n, -noseconds Disables the second hand. -h Show help information. -v Print the version number. USAGE
The WMTime window is separated into top and bottom sections. The top section contains a clock and the bottom section contains the date. The clock can be toggled between analog and digital modes. To do this, click in the bottom section of the window. WMTime can also be used to launch programs. You may click either left, middle, or right mouse buttons in the top section of the window. The pre-configured program will be launched according to the mouse button clicked. (see CONFIGURATION FILE below.) In order to move WMTime, drag on the outer edges. These are not sensitive to mouse clicks. DOCKING IN WINDOW MANAGERS
Window Maker Window Maker users should drag and drop the WMTime window on the Dock. Then, right-click on the border of the window and select "Settings...". Check "Start when Window Maker is started". AfterStep AfterStep users should put the following in their $HOME/.steprc Wharf wmtime - MaxSwallow "wmtime" wmtime & Other window managers WMTime runs nicely as a 64x64 shaped icon on your desktop. CONFIGURATION FILE
WMTime can launch three user-defined commands, triggered by left, middle and right mouse button clicks. You can define the commands to launch in $HOME/.wmtimerc left: xterm middle: xload right: xcalc If WMTime detects a $HOME/.wmtimerc file, it will launch the appropriate command when you click on the clock. The system administrator can define default commands in /etc/wmtimerc. The administrator may also choose to "fix" particular commands, making it impossible for users to change. These commands can be defined in /etc/wmtimerc.fixed, although this isn't a nice thing to do. FILES
