Comments on The Amazing Days Alive Calculator
fucken awesome!
I know! The Days Alive Calculator uses about five million lines of code and there only four people alive who understand its inner workings.
It's true, it's a painstakingly long bit of code carefully dealing with leap years and so forth and I discovered only afterwards there's like a standard MySQL query that can get it for you in one simple line...but "there's always a harder way," that's our motto. Taking the easy way all the time leads straight to sloth and immorality and the next thing you know you're in the gutter pining for the soft days of your youth.
Well, today is March 26, 2006 and you'll be born on December 31, 1969, seemingly. Best to check back some time after you've begun your existence on this plane.
hahaha thats funny

muchas gracias, javier!
Wooah, amazing indeed gentlemen!
I see you put some work into it, but it wont function correctly forever, will it?
9,080 i think i can make 10,000
Yeah, you've got what, 3 years to go, so just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street and the odds are definitely in your favor.
As far as working correctly forever, well, forever is a pretty long time, and includes such events as the bloated supergiant red star sun consuming Mercury and Venus and scorching the Earth to a cinder in another few billion years, or should I say hundreds of billions of days, but I think right up until then it ought to keep working all right.
Nice wee program! Thanks!
Now see where you are in the Shesha Life Map

Well, I'm not sure, I think I'm somewhere between the Torch of Life and the Heavenly Mansion...
That's pretty cool "After that, we're getting pretty damned optimistic" lol! :)
So glad I found you! A few months ago I was charmed to realize I my 20,000th day in the world would hit next week, and decided I'd have to party, but my math was wrong: I was getting ready to celebrate it 2 days LATE!!! So, next Wednesday, I'll clink my glass to toast you guys, too.
Hi Carola, congratulations on your upcoming 20,000th! Just so you know how we count them, we count the day you were born as Day One, since that's your first day. Some people would count that as zero, so you'd be one day old on your second day on the planet, which is true too, but we're interested in how many days you've been here in total. Anyway, have a good day and congratulations again!
Thanks, I got to celebrate my 10,000th day in style... and to think they day would have been just another day.
5 digits baby!
Happy Ten Thousandth, and many thousands more!
i did a guy from the year : 300. He was over 600,000 days old...
Wow. The oldest guy I ever did was 42.
christoph Wed 8 Nov 06 6:12 PM
Can anyone check the code? There is a glitch in the software. When i type in my bday it says this.
This is day number 9,959
for people born on August 4, 1979
Your 10,000th day will be on December 19 this year!
Your 10,000th day will be in 19 days, on November 27!
each time i check the second one moves ahead but it always says i have 19 days left, the same DATE of the true anniversary.
Eeee, that's crap, sorry! I'll definitely look into it!
Thanks to christoph for noticing that bug...I've had a chance now to get into the code and fix that problem, and also add a few little enhancements...
thanx a bunch Sat 2 Dec 06 3:57 PM
Your service is appreciated John!

If that isn't interesting, i googled the internet, wondering if i could know how much days i've been alive. Surprise, i find this site.
It's pretty interesting, it's a different perspective to count the days rather than the years.
BUT.... What if i want to know how much days has Jesus been alive? It doesn't work, i think. And what's his birth date anyway.. 1st January, Year 0?
your comments filter is silly...
and if it is as silly than I bet your calculator isn't as accurate either...
found two other sites with the same calculations and they did not agree with yours...
Well, Mudzy, silly is our middle name here at Bonkworld, but I got the filter idea from php.net, and those guys, well, they're pretty silly too. But smart!
As for the calculator, I stand by it. Most similar calculators come up a day short because they count days old instead of days alive. There is a one-day difference. You're one day old on your second day on the planet. If you're born January 1, most people would look at January 2 and say OK 2-1 is 1. I say you've been on the planet 2 days. That's why it's "days alive" and not "days old". I haven't seen another days alive calculator out there. But there are actually things I don't know!
Error
LOL..........
Sorry, your comment has been shot down by our spam filter. Unfortunately, we've been forced to implement a fairly aggressive filter system thanks to the profusion of shameless idiots in the world.
seems to get shot down cause of the url I'm trying to post.. anyway around it.??
hope this works.....

Hey, thanks for the link. I tried it and it seems like a very cool idea but apparently has a few bugs: I put in my birthday and it said:
You are -1853 years old and you were born on a Friday
So, something went wrong somewhere clearly. But I love the concept...
hope this works.....

wicked cool. thanks!
and btw, everyone know Jesus was born on xmas, not nys :)
Today is my 34th B-Day. I did a simple calculation to figure out how many days I had been alive and came up with 12418.5. Then, I wondered if there was a calculator on the Internet to figure this out and found your site. You told me I was 12419 days, which was the same answer I figured, rounded up to the nearest whole number. Pretty good!
By the way, Bible scholars have figured out that Jesus was most likely born in September, not December! Assuming He was born on Sept. 30, 0000, he would be alive about 732,452 days at this point (this does take into account that He was dead in the grave for 3 days before rising again...)!
Oh wow,
I figured out I would be exactly half my Moms age on August 19th of this year. Pretty exciting considering I'm only 15. Thanks, I love this.. I sat here for 3 hours one day messing around on it and I actually wasnt bored for once. [its my 5641st day alive..]
Hey Cassie, happy 5,641st! Glad you're having fun with the site!
Awesome. It gave me a way of knowing how many days left until I outlive my Father, who sadly died in 1966 aged just 48.
June 5, 2007 (17,815!) is my big day, and now I'm sure.
Thanks so much.
Glad you liked it, Simon, and sorry to hear about your old man. Hopefully, you'll make it to at least 25,000!
If anybody cares- most scholors agree that our calendar based on the birth of Jesus is probabally off by 4 to 6 years, likely being born around 4BC to 6BC, as well as the fact that He was probabally born in either the Spring or Fall.
BTW- celabrating my 13,441st.
cool it told me about some things I didn't know!
HappySarah Fri 20 Jul 07 1:32 PM
Wow!! It helped me with my math homework!! Thanks!!
LuisLeote Wed 19 Sep 07 1:55 PM
Thank you for this service. Really original and useful. Promise I will use it often
thank you very much i will tell all my friends and family about it.It is the best website ever!
I am turning 50 soon. I wanted to know the exact amount of days I will have lived when I finally am called home at 102. Thanks
Mitchell Mon 19 Nov 07 6:50 PM
Just going back to that Jesus days thing. He wasn't actually born on Christmas day, as in Dec 25th. He was actually born some time in the spring, but because of the way their calendar was a bit different the church changed it. Nobody knows his actual birthday.
I do. And now I know how many days old I am. Thanks be to you.
Thanks, Jesus. And here I was thinking it was kinda funny how people really think there was a real Jesus who had a specific birthday and all, and the guy SHOWS UP HERE! Now that's the power of the Internet. Praise Jesus. Although I reckon he'd get too embarrassed by too much praise. Except maybe on his birthday.
I simply love your website! Thanks to you, I once again feel that grad school is worth the effort. Well, I've gtg and write those three papers that are due next week!
btw, today is 16,105 for me.
Thanks Lesley, glad you're having fun here!
monocle barbie Wed 26 Dec 07 3:25 AM
You are off by 1, it is a common mistake. The counter is counting the day you are born as 1, instead of 0. Therefore it is not saying how old you are, or how long you have been on this earth. It would be more accurate if you wold change that. Please do!
The counter methodology is entirely intentional, I assure you! It is called the "Days Alive" calculator, not the "Days Old" calculator, for a reason. It is the number of distinct days you have been on the planet, including your first one, and including today. That does make it one more than an age calculation, since you wouldn't be "one day old" until 24 hours into the game. But the day you were born counts as a day that you were alive here at Bonkworld.
Nice work Abby and John! Great program. I have a programming assignment at University to basically make what you have here, and all I can say is "My I hate leap years!" - just got it all finished, but leap years perplexed me for a good ten-fifteen minutes! Nice work, and thanks for the great 'testing partner'! ^_^
I have been married 14502 days. We celebrate every day!
Eeeee, you know I don't think I ever thought of using the Days Alive Calculator to calculate the number of days since other things. Congratulations on such a fine run of marriage!

Geek paul Mon 31 Mar 08 8:52 PM
where can i check the coding this seems that it took a long time...GOOD JOB
Zach from Stanton's Class Mon 31 Mar 08 9:54 PM
Okay, thank you, however made this.
5 million lines of code rofl, this isn't that hard...I wrote a program in Pascal 7 that will tell you the day of the week when you enter the date, and it took me like 5 hrs...only because i'm not that good.
Awesome site! actualy celebrated my moms 15,000 yesterday! thanks for the effort.
Thanks, that was fun! I sent the address to everyone I knew.
I've been married 10,924 days so I'm not telling you how many days I've been alive.....
LeighAnn Wed 30 Apr 08 3:34 PM
This this was really cool to do. I sent it to some friends and did a few birthdays for my family members. Its a cool time killer, too. =]
So cool! Thanks for making this. My kids have a blast finding out how many days they have been alive.
.
It's cool.
To be even cooler, add soundtrack with this song:
"One Day at a Time"
Very cool!
Thank you!
Approaching 6666... should be interesting! Fun little tool.
Ooooh 6666, what is that, like Sign of the Devil Plus? Watch out for the extra devils that day!
I love it
cool

Cool program! Thanks, my daughter wanted to know how many days she'd been alive, this site was easy to find and super easy to use, even for someone who's been around a mere 3009 days.
Got any more we should look up ?
you are dumb i could tell you that too ,this is how it works, they start on yur birthday and add 360 every time it passes it again up to the last one then adds 360 more, checks too see how many till the closest birthday and subtracts it
Yep, that's the basic idea all right TK. Just make it 365 instead of 360 or you'll get into trouble, and don't forget to check for leap years. Or just use our machine and save some time!
so i geuss 5 ppl know how it works now
oooo Nov is my 8,000 bday !! I have a reminder in my calender :D

Now you know why I keep getting an error message
:^O
your teensy program is the first one to come up on google when i type "how many days been alive." congrats!
ps: nice code :)
An astonding piece of work. Kudos to the designers, makes me feel so much better then programs telling me when I'm leaving this world! Just a thought I have been using your program for another purpose, which is to figure out how long loved ones lives were that have since passed. Maybe you could offer a date of death to your program which would be omplefelu bypassable if your only trying to figure out your days of life. Just a opinon you have created a seemingly simple yet very complex program that along with your poem allows me to realize the fragile nature of things. Great job!!!!!!!!!
God has given me 7,000 days to be thankful for! :)
this counter thing is pretty cool, but there is this other website that is cool as well.
thanks for setting this up!
i dont understand this calendar. . it says my 10000th day is dec 22 of this year.. but i physically counted all my days including leap years.. and shouldnt be until may 18 of next year. .
wheres the discrepensy coming from
It's been tradition for us to celebrate our kids' 1,000 day, 5,000 day, etc. I knew my youngest's 5,000 day was coming up soon and thanks to your calculator I found that it's this Friday! Saved me a lot of calculating - Thanks! We're celebrating by surprising her with 5,000 xmas lights strung up in the house. Crazy I know - we're just kids at heart! For our son's we woke him with 5,000 tickertapes, each with a fun note on it about his life. Yeah - I know - we're over the top. But you only live once! Celebrate it!
My daughter was born on November 5, 1999. I want to figure out when her 5,000th will be.
This is sooo cool!!! I think i will tell my friends to see this calculator thing some time in the future.Or some time soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to see people are still getting some fun out of the Days Alive calculator. Today I added 1,000 and 5,000 days to the calculation -- don't want to discriminate against toddlers and young children!
Hey jd with the 10,000 day discrepancy -- what's your birthday? I'll look into it!
i can't believe i missed my 10,000 days party opportunity by 170 days! I should have thought about this soon. no matter, we can celebrate my wifes in feb next year
from Argentina. cool info. I've got to thank GOD for so many days in earth. Sweet.
my 5000th is coming up soon!!! its dec 18th i wonder why we dont celebrate things like this its more special than b-days.
Oh my God i will have 10000 days in dicember of this year
friken hell tht was so cool
woooooooooooow that was fudge n awesome
this is just about the greatest life message I have found on the internet to date. way to go bonkworld!

Some Random Loser Wed 3 Feb 10 7:10 AM
You should say what day we were born on too. I think I was born on Friday or Tuesday. I'm 5,056 days old by the way. Kinda cool.
I like both those ideas, adding number of months and adding the day of the week you were born. Consider them on the 'to do' list!
What would that be in Dog years??!!
The boy that I love has been alive for 7,396 days. Dean, not a day goes by that I don't thank God for putting you on this earth. The world is a better place because you're in it. You're beautiful and everyday you're alive is a blessing. Everything's gonna pan. Life is a flower! I love you Baba
That's a beautiful thing to read, Angela, thanks for posting!
Angela, you have been given 7,306 alive on this planet. No one appreciates that more than me, you've helped me to look at things in a different light through your beautiful perspective on the world=] It's me and you together, never apart.. maybe in distance but never in heart. Happy birthday pl0xifer;) I love you.
Great site, Calculator, and humor.
