Like I said "unless I totally screwed the calculation"....which I  
did :P  It *IS* a time stamp though.  I'll just have to fscking  
google it to find out how it is calculated - the info I was told was  
wrong, which is what I based the calculation on.  Or, you could  
google it yourself :)

Cheers,
