Instead of using a very long set of If statements, I think you could just use something like a=$((`date +%M`/15));b=$((128335 + `date +%l` +((a*(a**2-39*a+110))/6)));printf '%x' $b; and print the resulting hex's character, no? (I'd finish off the code myself, but I have a bus to catch) Edit: Ah, I see Sephr came prepared. ;)
Personally, when it comes to time, I "think" digital.
Honest question: Do you prefer this to a digital time display? Why? Personally, when it comes to time, I "think" digital.

I'm sure you could. It's a quick hack.

No idea really. I made it quickly this morning, and I'm trying it out today. It does make it easier to see whether a bunch of commands were performed at roughly the same time than a digital display.
My [zsh] prompt displays the exact time down to the second on its own line. I just scan up looking at the time to see if the hours match or minutes... But I still have the ability to know if one was 3 minutes 33 seconds or one was 27 minutes 10 seconds within that hour/half hour.
This is cutesy, but having a timestamp on your prompt is an easy-to-implement sometimes-lifesaver. Highly recommended, one way or another :)

🕤Wondering what this looks like on GNU bash (version 4.2.25 i686-pc-linux-gnu)? Wonder no longer: $ ./bashtime.sh 🕤
