I was bored this weekend, so I decided to make a skinnable program that provides a stylin' countdown timer to Anthrocon!

You can get the binary itself here: http://moogle-tech.com/mogtimer-v1.0.zip
You can get the source code here: http://moogle-tech.com/mogtimer-v1.0-src.zip

I've provided two different layouts, a tasteful layout at 800x600, and a minimal layout showing nothing but a countdown. To enable the minimal layout, open Layout/main.ini and change the reference to "Layout/800x600.ini" to "Layout/minimal.ini", and save it, then restart the program.

If anyone wants to create other layouts for 1024x768 and 640x480, add more phrases to randomtext.ini, or whatever, feel free!

Incidentally, you can also turn this into a Thanksgiving Timer, Christmas Timer, or a generic countdown timer to any date in 2008 - just edit the values for "month" and "day" in main.ini.

Wow, you guys are so... enthusiastic.

Nonetheless, there's a new version with some added flair:
