Anyone need unix timestamps or pretty dates (the calendar kind)?

I was bored again today - so I decided to write a netlinx time/date to unix timestamp (and back) converter and a formatted date function similar to php's date() to make use of a timestamp. If you're interfacing with devices that want a unix timestamp, or want prettier / different dates for touchpanels, this code might help.

For instance, this code:

send_string 0, fmt_date('\T\h\e \d\a\t\e \i\s l, F jS Y  g:ia  \D\a\y #z', unixtime_utc(LDATE, TIME))

sends to the console:

(0000752985) The date is Saturday, March 27th 2010  9:12pm  Day #85

Unix timestamps are provided adjusted to the local timezone (ala clkmgr or a specified offset) with unixtime(LDATE, TIME) or unixtime_now(), and not adjusted (UTC-based) with unixtime_utc(LDATE, TIME). DST via clkmgr is only barely supported - when it's on, it applies a +1hr offset... anyone have better documentation for the clkmgr_ functions? Right now my fmt_date() isn't timezone-aware so it wants a UTC based time, so don't get too confused with the example above Even if you don't care about unix timestamps, having something more than the built-in date types on panels that's easily adjustable might appeal to you. Yay ordinal suffixes!

I've also got functions to convert unix timestamps (say, from a remote webserver or device) back into AMX-compatible DATE/LDATE/TIME strings - unixtime_to_netlinx_ldate(), etc. if you have these date types and would prefer to work with AMX date/time strings.

Since I'm working solely residential now, I wrote (not on company time, sigh) a no-ip sync module and I may also write a dyndns-protocol compatible module. Anyone have use for these?
