At 06:28p -0500 12/30/2003, Graff didst inscribe upon an electronic papyrus:

((b - theDate) div -2500000 + 1 )

Which takes the difference (in seconds) between the current date and and the the same day in January, divides that by 289 days (in seconds) and adds a month. This gives you the current month, roughly. This will probably work fine but I'd worry about it being correct under all circumstances.

OK, but then what makes 289 days so magical?

thanks,
