// Birthday surprise default {

   state_entry()
   {   
       llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
   }

   timer()
   {
       if(llGetDate() == "2009-02-15")
           llSetText("HAPPY BIRTHDAY!", <0,1,0>, 1.0);
       else
           llSetText("A surprise is coming...", <0,1,0>, 1.0);

       llSetTimerEvent(3600.0);  // check every hour. 
   }

// Function to calculate the numeric day of year integer dayOfYear(integer year, integer month, integer day) {

       - ((1 + (((!(year % 4)) ^ (!(year % 100)) ^ (!(year % 400))) | (year <= 1582))) && (month > 2));

       llSay(0, "The current day of the year is " + (string) dayOfYear(year, month, day));

// Function to calculate whether a current year is a leap year

   if( !( year % 400 ))   return TRUE;    // A leap century is a leap year if divisible by 400 
   if( !( year % 100 ))   return FALSE;   // Any other century is not a leap year  
   return TRUE;                           // It is divisible by 4 and not a century and not Julian, therefore it is a leap year
