Upcoming Ubuntu Releases Countdown Timers

[TuxLyn]

I wrote small code on my site for counting how many days/hours/minutes left till next Ubuntu Linux release. Currently there is countdown timers for 11.04, 11.10, 12.04 LTS, 12.10. I hope you guys like it :-)

You can check it out here @ http://goio.net/info/ubuntu

OK, added more countdown timers and information. Also for current releases, added mirror download archive link. Now its separated in three sections, Major Releases, Minor Releases (for LTS versions) and Alpha/Beta Releases. Major release titles are now linked to official ubuntu wiki schedules.

You've got Natty Alpha 1 ***ing out on Dec 2/2011, it actually came out on Dec 2/2010.

[TuxLyn]

Will make sure to check and make sure on official wiki schedule.

Thanks guys, I've fixed the year :-)

[TuxLyn]

I'm re-designing and re-coding the website on latest CodeIgniter version right now. So the countdown timers for Ubuntu and Holidays will be back up shortly. Also the other site futures will follow.

[TuxLyn]

Ubuntu countdown timers is now here > http://goio.net/info/ubuntu
Holidays countdown timers is now here > http://goio.net/info/holidays

I'm sorry for moving them guys, I re-coded the controller for them :-)

[Lucradia]

They should be javaScript or something so we don't have to force-refresh the page if our offline cache is disabled (thus, everything has offline cache.)

[TuxLyn]

@Lucradia, thank you for the comment. I will add some sort of javascript to it later for it to be dynamic.

[TuxLyn]

Sorry guys, this is currently down. I have re-coded whole site, so I will fix this soon.

[DouglasAdams]

i've just looked back through my stuff and found this (not a clue where it came from):

N.B.
leading [ BOTH replaced with { to stop image being displayed .. with luck !

You know you can have that "404" in your signature aligned left :V

It kinda makes me think that whenever you reply to a link, you're saying it's File Not Found.
