This is as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

And this is Firefox countdown, written , and concerning Software

Since everyone’s loving the Firefox counter and it was written in response to a request to do cool things with the counter data from FF themselves, we present the Firefox countdown to fifty million downloads. Very similar approach to the counter; this just works out how long there is to go and counts down for you. (It’s also got a bit of Ajax in there to make sure it doesn’t go too far off track, plus, well, you gotta have some Ajax or you’re uncool, I think :))

At time of posting there is eight-and-a-half hours until it hits fifty million. Wow.

Empty page for me too. Safari 1.3 if that helps.

sil

Hey, I waited patiently for the countdown to reach 0, expecting fireworks or something like that, but it just counts negative time now… :(

Roberto: sorry. Things that I hacked together in less than half an hour don’t get flashness when they finish. :)
