  • Clocks Do More than Tell Time: They Express Your Style - To those who think that all clocks are alike, it's time to think again. Today, clocks do more than simply tell time; they are an expression of your personal style. Whether you're in the market for a watches or wall clocks, alarm clocks or patio clocks, your choices have never been more varied. Here is an overview of the versatile world of timepieces. Atomic Clocks If you're like most people, you've probably experienced times when you've wondered whether the time on your watch, the clock in your car, or the alarm clock in your hotel room is running slow or fast. Perhaps the person you're meeting at 3:00 hasn't yet appeared, or you were surprised when you arrived at a meeting ten minutes after everyone else.
  • Musical Wall Clocks Spice Up Time - Are you tired of the boring old clocks that just sit on your wall and chime each hour? Many other seemingly average appliances and devices found in the home have received makeovers. For example, ovens are now self cleaning.

Now clocks can be more exciting too. Musical wall clocks allow you to hear many of your favorite tunes instead of that boring chime.
  • History of Horology; Sundials to Atomic Clocks - Mankind has always been preoccupied with measuring and recording the passage of time. Timekeeping has been essential for the development of civilisations; from knowing when to plant or harvest crops to identifying important events in the year. Time has historically been measured in relation to the movement of the Earth; a day, is one revolution of the planet; while a year is an entire orbit of the Sun. Calendars were developed from as far back as 20,000 years ago when hunter-gatherers scratched lines and gouged holes in sticks and bones to possibly count the days between phases of the moon. Civilizations from the Ancient Egyptians to the Roman Empire have used differing methods to discover what day of the year it is.
  • Use a NTP Server To Keep Precise Network Time - Computers systems have internal real-time clocks that are notoriously poor at keeping accurate time. Hence, the time on all computers and network devices can drift away from one another at different rates. This can be a real headache when trying to synchronise time-critical processes. However, it is quite simple to synchronise every device on your network to an accurate time reference - a NTP time server. NTP servers are Internet, or locally, based time references that maintain a highly precise time and make this time available to client computers.
  • NTP Server Reference Clocks: What's Best Radio or GPS ? - A NTP Server is a network device that provides network servers and other network infrastructure with an accurate timing reference.
