Update: Might as well also have a realtime-updating JavaScript version...

Like a sucker, I was computing this by hand from the output of cal -y. First XEmacs and now this. I guess I owe you two drinks, should we ever meet.
i ran
cpanafter all these years... i hate me right now. i was trying to live a perl-free lifestyle but just when i think i'm out, they drag me back in!$ date "+%a Mar $(printf %d $(echo "3+($(date +%s)-$(date -v3m -v1d -v2020y -v15H -v0M -v0S "+%s"))/24/60/60" | bc)) %X %Z %Y"

seems like this is just the right moment to say thanks regarding the caller() patch in youtubedown, so ... Thanks!

That explains the out-of-season red skies dropping all this "snow" over everything.
Awesome. I now have cdate to go alongside sdate.
Speaking of, it's Sep 9856th, 1993. Only 144 days to go 'til the 10,000th. If it were still the beforetimes, that might be cause for some kind of party.
I wonder how long it will take until, when I notice an interesting date or event approaching, I stop reflexively thinking "I should get together with some friends to celebrate that." Hopefully by March 500th or so - I don't think I'll be able to handle the "...but now I can't" realisations for much longer than that.
I've put a note in my calendar for something extra depressing on uh, 2020-03-322 (or 2021-01-17 in the beforecalendar).

That is the deepest of deep cuts - I had to go check the wiki page since I didn't remember it. Thanks for the reminder!
In R:
$ Rscript -e 'march_date <- as.integer(Sys.Date() - as.Date("2020-02-29")); sub("XX", march_date, format(Sys.time(), "%Y-03-XX %T"))'
[1] "2020-03-178 18:50:47"
Not sure why this isn't shell-tastic: $((`date +%j` - 60)). Using lmgtfy.com search suggests perl has $yday (in range 0-364 or 0-365).
...with warnings that it embodies the arcane knowledge that there was a 29th of February and 31 days of January beforetimes.
K3n.
I think the last %Y should be replaced with 2020. If march 2020 is forever, the year shouldn't change.
Fair point!

the person operating this peripheral requests you replace 19A0 for 20A0 so that they can establish a beachhead at this timeframe in this stub

For myself a few minutes ago, or anyone who can’t be bothered to fire up CPAN to get Date::Parse…
perl -e 'use POSIX; my $t = time; printf strftime("%a Mar %%d %X %Z 2020n", localtime $t), int(.5 + $t/(60*60*24) - 18321)'Pretty sure you introduced a daylight savings time rounding error.
