Here's a little something I wrote to help me determine when I've last logged
on.  It gets the current time/date from /dev/clock.  If you aren't
familiar on how /dev/clock is broken down, here it is:

	0108182790

Positions Meaning
1-2       month
3-4       day
5-6       hour (24-hour format)
7-8       minute
9-10      year

It gets the last time on from a file in the same format as /dev/clock in your
home directory.

If you have any questions, improvements, etc., please leave email.
