IE plays .gifs slower than FF.
In firefox it keeps perfect time if synced.
ed: Nixie tubes are the predecessor of the 7 digit display.
They used to be used in expensive equipment like elevators and advanced
electronics in the 50's. These days they just make cool retro clocks.

The trick is to open the thread in a new tab, hit CTR+F5 and it should load
fast enough to be close and stay in time in all future tabs (in FF anyway).

edit: seems to work right on Safari.
edit2: Went strange for a bit and so I empty the cache and it seemed to work again.

decide to start halfway to 1 or 2 instead of 0.
This is why no one uses them for clocks.

It turns out the gif cant count past 32320 and i needed a count of 360000.
I replaced the hour counter with 12x30000 frames (no extra file size).
Fixed. Thanks.

To show for an hour the gif needs to count to 360000.
It can only count up to 32320 per frame.

i still have no idea what this means, someone give me a call a few minutes before the world ends, i want to go out with a steaming hot mug of tea grasped firmly in my hand.
edit/ on second thoughts don't leave it so late, the tea will warm itself as the planet explodes thus saving a bit of electric and helping to reduce my carbon footprint, green til the end.
