In case you are completely crazy, I have provided a convenient service for you!  You, Joe Blogreader, can aways be just a few short keystrokes away from figuring out the local date in the Time Cube calendar.

All you need to do is fire up your favourite xmlrpc client and direct it to https://threeducks.net/cgi-bin/time.cgi and use the method get_time().  It has an optional method “mode” in case you don’t like the default mode “cube”.

Example python client:

import xmlrpclib
server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(”https://threeducks.net/cgi-bin/time.cgi”)
server.get_time()

That’s it, and unlike all those educated stupid people around you, you’ll know the correct date.
