J.@Si Whoa, this is so cool.

Bren@Si This is super fun!
My first instinct was to stay up all night checking the time every minute to find out when nothing ever happens, but it turns out you can just look through the source. By file count there are 411 missing minutes in the day!
The source is also useful if you want to examine or improve the demographics of whose work is considered "literature".
Amy Taylor@Si I could not possibly love this more. 🙏
Standard Jabberwocky@Si This. is. Incredible.
Lorelei King

Cindy-Lou@Si me for the rest of the day. Brilliant!
A message to you Rudy@Si
This is so cool 😍

@Si comes with a lot of Bridget Jones (not that I mind)
@TanteRudy I’m going to start a little side project to try and fill in the missing 411 minutes. I just have to find the right books!
@Si
Is it your project or some open-whatever, where you can add the missing minutes?
Such a cool idea!
@TanteRudy I would *love* to have thought of something so wonderful! Here’s the origin and the source that can be contributed to

@Si
Impressive list.
I reckon I won't be able to read times in books anymore without the need to check if the quote is already there. Would love to contribute a tiny bit as well 🙂

@TanteRudy 100% same! Whenever I see a time in a book now I’ll be making a note to see if I can fill in one of the 411 gaps!
squireknottyash@Si this is great, thanks
Peter J Miller (he/him)@Si this is incredible
Leah Eustace, ACFRE (she/her)@Si I love this
herid@Si this is wonderful!
But now I am obsessively refreshing that page every minute.

Andy McGuire 🐕@Si This is simply wonderful. Clearly it's destined to be running on a Pi so it's always available......

sinert@Si OMG my new favorite spot on the interweb. I got two Murakamis in two minutes.
SmittyHalibut@Si this is bloody brilliant. :-)
geraldew@Si Yes! A literature equivalent to 'The Clock", which was a 24-hour video installation created from thousands of clips of clocks, watches and other references to time from film and television.

@geraldew oh wow! I have never heard of that, amazing!

@Si the literature clock is genius
I made something like it, except exactly the opposite in terms of beauty, it's QR codes 
@TheIdOfAlan this is strangely mesmerising to watch, and I love the result when the QR code is scanned 👌
@Si hehehe. I felt like it was a moral imperative
Sebastian Malloy@Si This is AMAZING.
David Knuffke@Si I emphatically co-sign this take.
Janh1 💚💙@Si Cool! Thanks 😊

Simon@Si - Wonderful.
faticake@Si “When the clock said ten minutes to five, she began to listen, and a few moments later, punctually as always, she heard the tires on the gravel outside, and the car door slamming, the footsteps passing the window, the key turning in the lock. She laid aside her sewing, stood up, and went forward to kiss him as he came in.”
- Lamb to the Slaughter, Roald Dahl
Amazing! I want to pin your post
Belinda Fernandez@Si This is soooooo neat!!!! I have so many questions about it! Do they ever repeat? Does it matter if it’s AM or PM? Is there specific criteria for the source material? Who manages it? And most importantly - can it go on forever?!! 😍 I’m now going to go in search of some answers. 🙂
@Belinda no repeats, @kernforce linked to a command line version, which in turn links to the original source code. Take a look at the source and there’s a CSV file with all the entries from 00:00 to 23:59 😍

@Si this is really awesome! Only to come up with the idea!
Susan Ito@Si omg!!! It’s like The Clock!!!
