Notice: Time Moves Backwards

If I'm not mistaken, and I am known to make mistakes from time to time ("Purity's next on the queue, right") the Anno Truman clock is messed up for anyone living outside the GMT time zone. Looking at the code for it in the template, I think I know what's wrong with it. The unit digit takes its value from the GMT clock, so it's always correct, but the tens digit seems to be taken from the local date, meaning when it checks with my computer it thinks it's still the 50s since it's still the 6th of December for another hour here. Even better, I can change the decade by manually changing the date on my computer; I can propel myself 140 years into the future by pretending it's New Year's Eve.

The point is, I just fixed a GNDT entry where Smith thought his latest kid was born in 50, when really it was 60; I noticed because my kid was born in 50, which was yesterday. Of course, when that happened, the year appeared to be 40 to me, but I thought the problem was mine alone because nobody else seemed to be having any trouble like this. So hey, watch out for the bend in time, just in case.
