Only 896 days left? Phew, and here I was getting nervous about it coming up in a few weeks.

I tried it about five minutes ago and it didn't load. I just tried again now and it's back.

That's strange. It's loading fine for me.
The file did get larger (~1.2MB) with the additional graphics so that could be part of it. I'll adjust a few things that should eliminate the file size issue. Quiddity, did it really show you 896 days to go? |

But is the time and date on your computer correct? It goes off the clock in your computer. So if that has the wrong time or date, the timer will be wrong.

It's like Quid is in some alternate universe with a 2 and a half year time delay.

LoL, yeah that was all. For some reason it was set to January 2006. @_@ Now its correct! 20 days, 20 hours. Man, I was not looking forward to going nearly
3 years without Big Brother!

Maybe you have to look at your screen at an angle of exactly 305 degrees or you get shifted in time.

Glad to hear that's all it was Q! I wasn't looking forward to tracking down more bugs. On the flip side, why don't you set your computer's
date ahead a few weeks and let us know if this season is going to be any good.
Fluffy, I have a new version which I'll put up Monday after work. It should come up much quicker and not make you wait for the background animation to load before displaying the counter. I can't remember if you have a slow connection, but if so, it should help. Very glad to hear it was working after the reboot though. |

OMGOSH U GUYZ!
I set my computer time and date ahead to July 13th at 7:59pm and watched as the minute counted down. THE COOLEST THING EVER HAPPENED THAT I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! WTG, Blistering! =D |

Im either amazed at the wonderment of what happens when the BB timer goes down to zero or pissed that I was duped into changing my computer time to see nothing. Either way im not talking.

Lol, SOA. You're a tricky one!
As you surely noticed, nothing terribly exciting happens if you change the date forward. I wasn't planning to add in the fireworks until it got closer or I programmed it to get time from a Internet time server so that it wouldn't get spoiled. Though being a mod and all I SUPPOSE it's okay for you to see it early. ;) |

I don't know what you two are talking about.
I clearly saw what I saw. Oh crap ... It must've been those 'shrooms I did. Nevermind. I was hallucinating again.

On the flip side, why don't you set your computer's date ahead a few weeks and let us know if this season is going to be any good. Well, I did as you suggested and set my clock ahead a couple of weeks. I watched the first couple of episodes of the show. And I've got some news. Some huge news. This season, there's a twist that none of us ever expected would happen. Brace yourselves... ...there are going to be pre-existing relationships in the BB house this summer! |

OMG! I missed the first part of the first ep! This countdown should have an audio alarm!
I was too slow with the screen cap to catch all the super-neato stuff, but I got this:
