Recently I was asked to find a countdown timer software for the PPT speakers of a conference. The countdown should be visible while slide playing to keep reminding the speaker the time, and the font color of the time should turn red in the last 5 min, and pop out a message when time is up. I first searched around the web for a while. There were many countdown timer freewares available online but they are not quite suitable for simple but serious situation. Some have too funny-looking interfaces, and some are specifically for pizza and egg cooking.
So I made one myself. It is called Lecture Time. It is a countdown timer application. It is suitable for time control of speeches in a busy conference.
You can download the standalone executable version here or the full installation version here. In both case please read the readme.txt first.
There is also an account on Chemspy.
Thank you for trying!

Andrew, I’ve given this a mention on Chemspy.com and would love to host the file for instant download once you’re out of alpha testing.
