Thanks Mark - I think as an excercise adding an alarm capability to the clock seems like a nice thing to do. Looking in to how do you dispatch messages from LCB to LivecodeScript? I see two option "send" and "post" wandering what the difference is... I also have a general question about the scope

Richard mentioned that LCB can be / is magnitudes slower than Livecode script for certain tasks? I'm wandering how this pans out with json import. Perhaps it's time to look at a speed comparison between various ways to encode and decode JSON in Livecode. We have: - a number of libs written in
