2010-10-04date: turn time widget argument into an offsetAdrian C. (anrxc)1
The os.time() call should not be passed as an argument it self, because of a chance it will be stored internally and so we would always get the same time. Instead we can pass time offsets in seconds, i.e. to go 6 hours forward we can use the widget argument 21600, to go 6 hours back we use -21600 instead.
2010-10-03date: accept time as a widget argumentAdrian C. (anrxc)1
Format custom time for example to calculate time zone differences, New York time relative to me would be widget argument: os.time()-21600
