Yup! ...or to be more ~~precise~~ pedantic, Julian day number. The full JD has the time added as a decimal fraction of the day.

I used that a lot in Polymod MANY years ago! An obscure French interpreted Basic language designed to run on OS/2 - with line numering! Dead | X|

There is a 'short' version:

JD = (367 * Y) - (7 * (Y + (M + 9) \ 12) \ 4) + (275 * M \ 9) + D + 1721014

This only handles dates back to March 1900, whereas the first one goes back nearly five Millennia.

That's good to know if - for some reason - Microsoft should decide to remove the support for the DateTime data type in .NET! Laugh | :laugh:

Fine - but don't forget that a Julian Day starts at 12:00:00 (noon) GMT! $Shucks | :-\$

Thats fine. For me, in an ideal world, ANY day would start at (or around) noon... Laugh | :laugh:

Looks like a date to Julian # conversion for say, starting at 1/1/1901 (maybe) but that's just a WAG.

[edit] - hey, I was right! And I didn't look at the other answers first! [/edit]

Start date is 12:00:00 on January first 4713 BC. $Shucks | :-\$

He was a famous organist, and has played with many great jazzmen. Eddy Louiss left us.
Amongst all his work are two great albums I often listen to : a duo with Michel Petrucciani, "Conférence de presse", and an album with a bunch of great musicians : "Multicolor Feeling Fanfare".
I'll miss him.

That was the inspiration behind NTNON's. As an aside, I have purchased a new Torque Wrench and it is marvelous; Vilmos happy.

I remember that. No-one seemed to notice that the car that crashed was a Vauxhall, not a Fiat!
