dclock

This was mostly created for my own edification. This takes a simple calculation converting system time to usable decimal minutes left in the day. I wanted to utilize the machines package to create a nice compositional monadic pipeline and learn some new concepts.

Usage

You can type -v or --version to see program information or -e to print extended information which is the current date. If you want to leave it running for a realtime decimal clock use the -w option.

$ cabal run exe:dclock -- -h
dclock - decimal time clock

Usage: dclock [(-v|--version) | [-e|--extended] [-w|--watch] [-a|--alarm TIME]]

  Decimal time clock that maps your day to 1000 decimal minutes

Available options:
  -v,--version             Show version information
  -e,--extended            Show extended information including date
  -w,--watch               Watch mode
  -a,--alarm TIME          Set alarm for decimal time (0-1000, only valid with
                           watch mode)
  -h,--help                Show this help text
$ cabal run
Decimal time: 25
$ cabal run exe:dclock -- -e
Decimal time: 25 (2024-11-05)
$

Building

Run cabal build and it will download dependencies and build the project. You can install the executable with the command:

cabal install --installdir=/usr/local/bin --install-method=copy

Then you can run it:

$ dclock
Decimal time: 25
