Now you too can time-stamp your posts using Swatch's internet time (@ beat):

I wanted to do it really elegantly with a script and everything but it just wouldn't work that way. So, this is what you have to do:

Download this script:

showBeat.txt

Now, go to your Item template and paste it wherever you want Beat time to appear. It looks nice if you place square brackets around it.

I tried doing this as a macro/script that you would call with a nice <% showBeat() %> statement but could not get it to work. Comments on dealing with this are welcome.

You can also download the workspace.showBeat script which will allow you to print the current time (publication time) in @ beat format using a simple <% workspace.showBeat(clock.now()) %>. You can also replace clock.now() by another time value and it will convert it to @ beat format. Currently, this script does not work with a given post's post time, but it's nice for adding a "this weblog last updated at:" message to your weblog.

workspace.showBeat.ftsc

workspace.showBeat.txt
