I think its a good idea.

I also think you could use months. But my method would be to take advantage of the fact that localtime() will do all the math for you. Simply store the time stamp in non-leap seconds from Jan 1, 1970 UTC for the last login. (This is the format of time in Perl.) Feed that to localtime() and get the year, month #, hour, minute, etc... Then subtract that from the current state.

    ah, localtime. it is both friend and enemy to me all at once.

    if you want, make the necessary changes to my code and /msg vroom with the node_id of your code or changes to get it in there (although, i don't think that months is much more usefull than weeks, so i would probably leave it out).
