 * I set a date to `Mon, 17 Nov 2008 00:00:00 +100` – this is 240 days from now,
   but countdown-timer shows 234 days.
    You can see this here: [http://nesthaekchen.sokoll.com/](http://nesthaekchen.sokoll.com/)
   What is wrong here?
 * Thanks,
    Rainer

 * It has to do with the way that months are rounded. Months are assumed to be exactly
   30 days in length (2592000 seconds). In your case, there are 5 months between
   now and November that have 31 days instead of 30 days.
 * The extra missing day is an issue with the JavaScript code that has already been
   fixed for the next release.
 * I’m going to work on some code that hopefully eliminates that error.

 * Mine too is wrong. Counting down to December 12th 2009 which is about 300 days
   away and my timer shows 295 days… is there still the same error in counting as
   before or should it have been fixed by now?
 * Thanks!

 * This is a different bug and will be fixed in upcoming release (which should tomorrow(
   Monday), if I get my act together). You can also download the developer version
   in the meantime if you don’t want to wait.
