It's been interesting to follow, although not being a developer I have to admit in skipping the high geek factor stuff!

I've just downloaded fk9.tar.bz2 and after extraction I'm executing using the command "python fk009.py" successfully launching "Flip Alarm Clock 0.008" ...8?

Nice battery meter, working as expected.
Liking the use of the LED too! First time I've ever seen my N810's LED turn purple!!
Well my problem is that im very passionate on things for few weeks and then the excitment curve drop drammaticaly (thats probably why im without a job ) the fast and smart feedbacks from the forum really help things to stay alive. I know the unpacking/launching is a pain but this let me free to put the weirdest things out and dont have to feel guilty of wreking any 'occasional' tablet user experience (+ I have no Idea how make a deb and most of the time Im on a window desktop)
Don't be scared to look and modify the code. Im not a (python) programmer so is pretty neat (neat <> optimized). Some parts are completely black holes and I have no idea how they works ( led, battery access etc) but they are usually well separated in their own ghetto modules. A big plus is that you can probably learn some italian curses I usually 'forget' to remove from the comments.
I agree is a pretty fun ride to follow the app growing (but after 2 hours probably even the funniest rollercoaster became boring.
I knew touching the led is a bit risky but drunkier you are cooler they became so f the power saving and pump up the lights, (I kept the led partially dimmed on red all the time to make the tablet visible in the dark (is or not an alarm clock?) I will probably set the led to stay on only when the charger is connected.
note to myself: add faz to the about page
