Alarm settings were off by an hour.

The error is fixed in both addresses for Busy Noise.:

• http://www.megauni.com/busy-noise
• http://www.busynoise.com

It has also been fixed for myEggTimer:

• http://www.megauni.com/my-egg-timer
• http://www.myEggTimer.com

I'm "archiving" the egg timer websites. Basically, I'm moving them over to a new address.

• megaUni.com/my-egg-timer
  Originally: myEggTimer.com. Domain expires: 2010-06-25
• megaUni.com/busy-noise
  Originally: BusyNoise.com. Domain expires: 2010-04-28

Try them out. The original sites will be there until the domain registrations run out.

I was about to trash the two sites on Aug. 31, but the positive response I received convinced me to move them instead.

If you know of better egg timer sites, please post a comment below so I can tell others. 

Thanks again for all the positive comments.  I had no idea it was hard to find a decent egg timer site.

Online egg timing software has become more sophisticated. Check out:

http://e.ggtimer.com/

It's great and should work in most browsers.

They even have a version for tea drinkers: http://steep.it/

The reason I bring up other sites (which I have no association with) is that I will be closing down both MyEggTimer.com and BusyNoise.com.  The closing date I set is August 31, 2009.

• BusyNoise.com always had annoying bugs that I never got around to fixing. 
• I don't like keeping a site up that is easily outmatched by the competition.
• It's also a pain making a website that uses JavaScript and Flash work across all the different browers.

If you know of any other egg timer site that is better than e.ggtimer.com and my own 2 sites, let me know below in the comments section so I can tell others.

busynoise.com/egg should now be working now.  I moved it to a more reliable server.  Visit MyEggTimer.com as a backup if it ever goes down again.

Fixed a bug when the egg timer would not sound the alarm.

Cause: Server was overloaded and could not download the sound file when egg timer needed to turn on the alarm.

Let me know if you are still having trouble by posting a comment below.
