At the start of the 2009/2010 academic year, the Clock was re-written by [[Michael Cullen]] with help from [[Nathan Lasseter]] to run on PC hardware, with anamorphic widescreen enabled. One thing to notice was that the hands only moved when their unit of time is up - ie. the seconds moved after the second, the minute hand moved after that minute, and the hour hand moved only once every hour - this lead on many occasions to watchless techies missing lectures! When YUSU lent YSTV their plasma screens around campus, they were known to complain of the clock's marks screenburning! | At the start of the 2009/2010 academic year, the Clock was re-written by [[Michael Cullen]] with help from [[Nathan Lasseter]] to run on PC hardware, with anamorphic widescreen enabled.

Clock was revived in 2013 by [[Sam Nicholson]] in HD as part the automated scheduling software [[Tarantula]]. It isn't seen much between programs, instead being shown overnight during closedown. Unlike its predecessor, the hands on this clock move continuously, meaning the minute and hour hands are always accurate. | Clock was revived in 2013 by [[Sam Nicholson]] in HD as part the automated scheduling software [[Tarantula]].
