Short answer: simple pygame script with an OSC receiver. I think GEM is overkill for just a text countdown timer. Another option is to make an OpenFrameworks app which you can run on the commandline without X windows and save lots of RAM and CPU. :) This may or may not require too much extra time, to set up though, but thats' who I'd do it.

Hi!
the short question: what would be the least resource intense method to display a 10min Countdown? (need to listen to a trigger on netreceive)
