I wrote my first Linux application.  It is a application which will count down from a preset number of seconds.  I have tested it on Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 Beta 2.  Other than that, I have no guaranty.  It is a pretty basic application. You enter the amount of seconds to countdown, select Set, then Start.  It counts down to zero and turns red to let you know that time is up.  There are not many things to add to a simple application like this so there will not be too much development.  I added a page to the top of the site where you can find the project page at SourceForge.  It’s not much, but it works.
