Don't want/need that, Tree. Just a simple realtime, countdown or countup
timer to indicate time remaining or time consumed so it's an easy mental
calculation or observation to make during the contest.
I'm no math wizard, so it takes me a bit of effort for even a simple
calculation like "lessee...the contest runs 30 hours, I can use 24, I've
taken 2:25, that leaves.............crap...the contest runs 30 hours, I can
use 24. I've taken off 2:25, that leaves...4:35. Cool!"
