Yes I've run into that obstacle, but I was assuming that it was just a mistake 
I've made, since I don't think I really want to resort to such hackery I'll 
just leave it for now.

Might get looking at that binary clock in ECMAscript tomorrow, I'll post it 
back here if I do it (It probably won't be pretty or well coded, I'm mainly 
just looking to do it as a learning experience)
