Hi!
When I look at main page http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ I see 58 days but when I use one of the countdown banners from http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown then I see 59 days. I counted from calendar and 58 is correct - 59th day is already 21th September - the event itself.
Can it <http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/CountDown/code> be fixed?
In general, for countdowns, every time discussions like this come up, I wonder if : - Code authors have taken input of TZ from browser enquiry eg TZ="Europe/Berlin" in my case. - If enquiring humans also have considered TZ, As shown by http://www.berklix.net/cgi-bin/printenv As that browser enquiry will typically be addressed to a server somewhere else on planet earth that may be timezones ahead or behind, & at some times of day, will be a day ahead or behind, over the date line, depending :-) Try my http://www.berklix.net/cgi-bin/date So unless an enquirer includes his/her date, time, & timezone of enquiry, & unless enquirer also uses nslookup to trace target www & look at source cgi-bin (which may be running on another host in another zone anyway ) ... unless all of that I dont bother to look further, so if you do a detailed analysis, I guess Fred can then look at it, If there is an error :-) Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, like a play script.
