triggl we are at 2 months and 4 days from the so called Doomsday on a count down clock the last number is zero.

Your countdown clock is for 22nd of January of 2013.

I just don´t know how to put the countdown clock image in here. It is not easy because I am on this for a long time.

My current clock is based on UTC. I subtract current time UTC from Unix time (converted to days) of 13.0.0.0.0. So, when we reach it, it goes to 0. Technically, it should be daybreak of the Mayan timezone, I guess. If I ever have time and get extremely board, I'll look at it closer and make adjustments.

By my calculations, we hit 0 on the 21st. (Roughly nightfall on the 20th, US Central)

Keep in mind, we go from 3.0 to 2.19.

I've updated my script to be accurate down to the second. I want it to turn to 0 (zero) at the "doomsday" time. Therefore I had to add a day to account for a fraction of a day equating to 0. A day is equal to 86400 seconds.

So, this will turn to 0.0.0.0.0 at 11:11 UTC the 21st of December.

#!/bin/bash
let countdn=1356084660-$(date +%s)+86400
let winal=$countdn/1728000
let pre_kin=$countdn-$winal*1728000
let kin=$pre_kin/86400
echo "0.0.0."$winal"."$kin

It works in AIX, too, if I change "bash" to "ksh".

Nice trigggl now we know when we are going to die EXACTLY.

No one wants to lose the End of The World.

We are ready.



The cat is not happy but it is ready.

Made another modification to the script to hopefully make it less confusing.

#!/bin/bash
let countdn=1356084660-$(date +%s)+86400
let winal=$countdn/1728000
let pre_kin=$countdn-$winal*1728000
let kin=$pre_kin/86400
echo $winal" Uinal and "$kin "K'in until doomsday!"

Which currently comes to:

3 Uinal and 2 K'in until doomsday!
