The clock in the Oxide Office displays the local time and date in print sufficiently large to be visible from most parts of our floor space. It is a Rust program that runs on a small computer (presently, a Dell Wyse 3040 thin client device), booted into a custom Helios ramdisk image.

In the office, it looks like this:
On an illumos system, this program will take over the framebuffer device usually operated by wscons(4D). The mechanism in use is crude, and absolutely no warranty is made about its use. You have been warned!
For ease of development, if built on a Linux workstation the clock will be rendered into a basic X11 window with the same aspect ratio as the target display in the office.
