Today's sharepiece is a refresh of the 6-minute increment version of the Emergent Task Timer which helps see where your time is going throughout the day. It was mentioned by Chris Williams over on Mastodon, and I remembered this from an earlier project in 2013.
Refreshed Version
As the original file from 2013 was created with Adobe Illustrator, I wanted to see if Affinity Designer could convert itI no longer use Adobe products. I became irritated by their direction with AI, rising prices, and addition of bloated features instead of addressing underlying tool performance.. And it did without much trouble. I did have to convert "text frames" to "art text" for convenience, but that was very minor. I also updated the copyright information, though I'm not quite sure what to do for legal naming on the notice since I no longer go by "David" though it's still my legal name. Harrumph!

So, I think that went pretty well. I also created a placeholder download box with some behind-the-scenes secret sauce.
