So my code explicitly assumes that ymd-strings give the local time: : local-ymd>timestamp ( str -- timestamp ) ymd>timestamp gmt-offset-duration >>gmt-offset ; : days-since ( str -- n ) today swap local-ymd>timestamp time- duration>days ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
