We miss Center Clock! It's missing and needs to be ported to JavaScript :)

Dear Lee,
Hello! I hope you're well.
I'm writing about one of your projects -- "Center Clock" from 2006 (http://leebyron.com/what/centerclock/).
Tega Brain and I are currently writing a book for new-media arts educators, which compiles descriptions of beloved computational arts assignments, tropes, and prompts -- such as the "abstract clock", "generative landscape", "interactive creature", or "custom pixel". We feel your project is a paradigmatic, exemplary classic of the form, and we really wish our readers could experience it live! Unfortunately, like a lot of older new media works, "Center Clock" is no longer operational and/or available online. We're writing to ask a huge favor: whether you would consider porting your project to a more modern web-friendly toolkit, such as p5.js -- or, if you're willing, to share your old code and allow us to port it for you.
Please let us know! We realize this involves some effort, but we really want to help save your project from obscurity and bit-rot. In the event that you'd rather not port your project (nor allow us to do it for you), we would be deeply grateful nonetheless for your permission to print a screenshot of your project in our book.
Yours hopefully,
Golan Levin and Tega Brain
I'll see what I can do to get this live again!
Oh, that would be amazing, thank you, Lee! We'd like to recommend the use of the p5.js toolkit, if possible, as that's where the Processing community is putting its chips for the next couple of years.
Hope all is well at work!
Ported to p5.js and live! http://leebyron.com/centerclock/ (the existing link should redirect here) and open source https://github.com/leebyron/centerclock
Good luck with the new book, I can't wait to see it!
