How to convert an Excel date to a UNIX date

Excel stores a date as the number of days since the start of 1900, and UNIX as the number of seconds since the start of 1970, so the sum is:

$unixTime = ( $excelDate - 25569 ) * 24 * 60 * 60;

Ancestors Reunited

Just tried to use Ancestral Villages, it's meant to be some kind ancestors reunited, though it seems a bit wobbly, and there's no data relevant to our family tree. 0/10...

Ancestors Reunited

Another "story" about 1837 online in today's Metro, they referred to themselves as being like Ancestors Reunited, probably a coincidence that I referred to Ancestral Villages as that the other day......

Shed Anthems

The mighty Shed Anthems by MJ Hibbett and the Validators has arrived at last and it is a thing of beauty indeed, a six track sampler type mini album, in follow up to last year's This is not a Library.I say sampler style, as it features tracks from th...

SMITHS REUNION! SMITHS REUNION! SMITHS REUNION!

What do you think to the rumour that was in popbitch last week, about the band being in talks? After everyone said it'd never never happen? I never thought I'd get a chance to see the Pixies, but it happened. Seeing the Smiths would be just ace.Smith...

Motorhead 1987

I saw Motorhead in 1987 and it was a cracking gig. We also got to meet Lemmy and the boys before the gig. Very friendly blokes - I've still got the leather album sleeve that they all signed for me !

Suede reunion

Article in the Indie here... not sure how much of a Suede reunion it's going to be, I hear on popbitch.com (oh yes, always reliable) that they'll not be playing any old material, so there is NO parallel with the recent fantastic Pixies shows...If any...

Adam Curry saviour of the universe!!!

Hmm, I know who wrote this story. I have stopped listening to all the podcasts I used to subscribe to. Even the Engadget show has lost it's appeal, now it's changed. Interesting to see Adam Curry and Dave Winer disagreeing in that piece, I thought th...

"When the rest of the track is finished in 2007 it will be possible to commute from St Pancras to Folkestone in 35 minutes"

That sounds a bit quicker than I'd heard before, but so says propertyinvesting.net... it also adds:Folkestone is a nice town generally � no really bad areas. Down by the harbour it's got "further to go" than other parts of the town. Much of Folkeston...

Best Gigs Ever

Hmm, having no joy tracking down the full 100 of Time Out's best london gigs chart they did last issue, but prompted by a thread on PopExcellent I've had a think about my top five gigs... I'm sure I'll think of more later and strike these out...1. Bl...

Steve Lamacq

Friday 29th September, signing his book "Going Deaf for a Living".
Not very interesting in real life, even shorter/uglier/older than he looks on telly/sounds on the radio etc. The poor man's John Peel indeed.

Caroline off Big Brother

she was here last Wednesday, she was, for some Big Brother take-off thing, meeting people and stuff. Must be DESPERATE for publicity and/or money to come to a shithole like this.

conrad and jason from the trail of dead

After trying and failing to wangle my way backstage, I consoled myself by having a pint in the student union bar - when who should stroll in but conrad and jason from the trail of dead - after one of the most hell-raising gigs i have ever seen! as th...

Chelsea Clinton

I was running a stall for my Indie/Alternative
music society, and as she walked past I stuck
a sticker on her proclaiming that she loved
Indie Club Nights. This was last Thursday morning.

Germaine Greer

She was outside Senate House in Warwick University at about 5:00 on Friday the first of december. She may be a lecturer here, but believe me, there's more chance of seeing Lord Lucan hanging about.

Reef

I saw them before the gig on Saturday 7th December 2002, it was amazing. I got to see them rehearse and talked to Gary Stringer (lead vocals) and Dominic Greensmith (drummer)It was a moment i'll never forget. I also was one of the only people to spot...
