Re: Happy birthday, Roger!

Well, I'm working up to a real-time Cindu Javascript clock that you
can put on your web pages. I'm hoping that would be actually useful..

So far I can convert arbitrary dates between the two calendars
reliably, but it doesn't convert time of day yet. However, much of the
work to do so is already done, since I had to take into account that
Earth and Cindu days are different lengths to get as far as I have.
