Here's a little TCL script I wrote to output the week number of the financial year:


set intNow [clock seconds]
set intStartYear [clock format $intNow -format "%Y"]
set intThen [clock scan "6-April-$intStartYear"]
set intDuration [expr $intNow - $intThen]

if {$intDuration < 0} {
#The financial start year was last year
set intStartYear [expr $intStartYear - 1]
set intThen [clock scan "6-April-$intStartYear"]
set intDuration [expr $intNow - $intThen]
}

puts [concat "Week " [clock format $intDuration -format "%W"] " of financial year $intStartYear /" [expr $intStartYear + 1]]



And here it is in action:

% set intNow [clock seconds]
1138123975
% set intStartYear [clock format $intNow -format "%Y"]
2006
% set intThen [clock scan "6-April-$intStartYear"]
1144278000
% set intDuration [expr $intNow - $intThen]
-6154025
%
% if {$intDuration < 0} {
#The financial start year was last year
set intStartYear [expr $intStartYear - 1]
set intThen [clock scan "6-April-$intStartYear"]
set intDuration [expr $intNow - $intThen]
}
25381975
%
% puts [concat "Week " [clock format $intDuration -format "%W"] " of financial year $intStartYear /" [expr $intStartYear + 1]]
Week 42 of financial year 2005 / 2006
%


So this is the 42nd week of the finanical year.

I was watching The A-Team on some random cable channel last night - that brought back good memeories from when I was a kid! How did they manage to create so many weapons from someones garage?

Anyways we were talking about it in the office when I remembered another classic from the same ere...

The Fall Guy - a top quality program with superb stunts.

Am I the only person who can remember this program?

Remember the Memorial Stone I found in the Garden last year?

I was pointed in the direction of www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk and searched for deaths of Duncan McFee around 1906.

I found it:

Part 1#


Part 2#


Note how the spelling is McFie luckly the website does a soundex search too.

So he was 66, lived in Newington, was in the Army and his father was a Private in the 25th Regiment - I can't read the writing though.

I think his wifes name was one an old title deed for our house, have to look that up. Perhaps try and find the register for her death.

Alistair has started producing podcasts here.

I have to say he's certainly got the voice of a Radio 2 presenter. Perhaps a 2nd career?

This is clearly something I'm going to have to have a go with in 2006, I don't think my voice comes over well though - I'll have to stick to silent movies ;-)

Here's the podcast I get a mention in:
