    From Maurice Kinal@2:280/464.113 to Nancy Backus on Sun Jan 12 21:13:18 2020
    Hallo Nancy!

    I think I now have the EuroPoint's cybertoast tagline generator up to date. I added in the leap year cybertoast just to make sure the generator can handle ALL situations just in case we ever want to add|subtract any dates in the future.

    What do you think? Does it look like a keeper?

    Het leven is goed,
    Maurice

    Quite thorough... ;)

    Yup, looks like a keeper... :) So, does this mean we should do a
    proper cybertoast for the leapyear day....? I'm willing... :)

    Hey Nancy!

    Agreed. However I think we should keep the next one (2024-02-29) quiet tagline-wise until 2023-03-01 which is what it is currently setup to do. That way most of the time there will only be two showing up below after 2020-03-01.

    Life is good,
    Maurice
