TimeStat is a small menubar app (yes, another one) that is meant to supplant the default time display from Apple. Why Apple chose not to allow date display up there is beyond me, but that was the main reason I wrote this. It's also got a menubar option to start iCal.
Features? Well, you can create your own display using standard strftime variables, and I present a little area where you can see what the appropriate settings are and what they mean. There's also a couple of default formats you can choose if you don't want to make a custom version.

This doesn't compete with the fancier ones, but if you like other things I've written and feel comfortable with using this, too, then by all means go ahead. I don't plan to expand the functionality as this was something I wrote for myself and am releasing "just in case" someone else wants it, too.

Would anyone know where it can be downloaded from, or upload it to a download site :-)

1 - the ability to move the clock to the right side of the menubar, where the standard clock normally is.
2 - an option to get rid of the blinking : that separated the hour from the minutes
3 - an imbedded alarm clock in the drop-down box
4 - least importantly, but this would be kinda cool - incorporating ical, so i can view my activities for the next week by just clicking the date.
anyway, this is a good start and i hope to see improvements along the way.

2) Can the colon in between the hour:minutes not blink? it's so distracting
3) I like my date and time on the far right side of the display, since this is an application it can only be to the left side of the system preferences items: battery, airport, monitors.
4) It's a memory hog and CPU hog (well not really a CPU hog). On my Powerbook G4 667, the real memory consumption is ~28MB (IPMenu and ByteController are around 3MB); and since time is always being updated, the cpu % usage varies between .5%-2% constantly. This is something that can't go on on my aging system.
If these cons do not bother you, install it by all means. It offers great customization, I just wanted it to list the Day of the Week; this app did that and then more... like GMC, it's not more than you need, it's more than you expect.
