Anybody got one?? Or even a pointer to some c/c++/c# code that has the formula to get from UTC seconds to the day of the week in a particular time zone?

Basically, subtract 28800 (8hrs in seconds, offset from UTC to SLT, not accounting for DST) from the starting value, then divide by 86400 (seconds in a day, not accounting for any pesky leap-seconds between 1/1/1970 and now
 ) and mod that with 7. If the result is 0, it's Thursday. If 1, Friday, and so on, through 6, which would obviously be Wednesday.list days = [ "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday" ]; integer day_of_week = ( UTC - 28800 ) / 86400 ) % 7; llSay( 0, "Today is " + llList2String( days, day_of_week ) ); |

/me looks embarrased..
For some reason, I had it stuck in my head that it had to figure leap years and such. None of that really matters when you're starting with seconds from a known date though, does it?  TY, all. |

For some reason, I had it stuck in my head that it had to figure leap years and such. None of that really matters when you're starting with seconds from a known date though, does it? or even better a function that returns the day for you, leaving only the need to offset it for local time  I've had days like this.... "Why can't I use llGetGMTclock() > previously_recorded_GMTcall ?" to which the answer was "because at midnight it goes to 0?" _____________________
