I was playing with a quick project today to get my mind of the abysmal crapfest that today is turning out to be (long story, no I won’t get into it ^^). In a recent post I mentioned the wonderful page http://www.isitfriday.net . I mean… if you have to know it’s friday, and you have to know RIGHT NOW, you simply can’t do without it. However, in a reply to my original post it was found that the page changed status from YES to NO before midnight on friday. Not acceptable. A quick “whois” query shows that the domain is registered in the UK. Great. So the UK gets to know when it’s friday. Great. What about the rest of us? People need to know when it’s friday. SO… I grabbed the page source and wrote a short script that will update it at the appropriate time (Eastern time, you pacific folks are on your own). If you need to know whether it’s Friday or not, check out http://www.iggdawg.com/isitfriday.html . I know, I know… I’m a saint and should be recognized at such. I urge you not to bother the Vatican however, as the application is already in the works.

    Well crap! I think you should write a script that works across all time zones and reads cookies so it knows where you are clicking from and gives you the correct information…

    Could you get right on that?!

      Eastern is the only timezone that matters. Really, you only need to worry if it’s friday for us or not =).

      also, it’s run off an 8-line shell script (…if you include the shell header and the exit line). Expanding it to do all that would be an exercise in diminishing returns =P.

    I guess when you’re not in CT you don’t have too much to do! 😉 jkjkjk
    I’m sorry about the crapfest…we already discussed it online of course.

      this morning was busy at work and IRL -_-. The afternoon slowed down though, and I managed to get my mind off things for a few moments. Gogogo distractions!
