Daily Age Finder

About this web page. It's my special page, says Daisy! It's an automatic age finder. Automatic? Well, the information is updated every day when this web page is invoked. This means that the number of days increments by one day, every day.

Our canine world does abound
with many a joyous sound -
the barking of each and every happy hound.

Yes, there are so many of us,
so it's good to bring, without much fuss,
some order into our doggie world.

So, with "banners unfurled",
Daisy proudly presents - now, not later -
this daily age updater!

Ages Today !

These age figures are automatically updated every day. They appear in the first three groups, as shown below. In each group, they are given in SIX columns: (1) name, (2) date of birth (3) days (since birth), (4) years rounded down to the nearest year, (5) years as fixed point numbers and (6) year-month pairs with years and months each rounded down to their nearest integer values.

The fourth and last table, just above, gives the average age,
in days and in years,
for each of the three groups.
Each age value is given as a fixed point number.

Explanation

Figures in the tables are given in terms of "Days" since birth, and also in terms of "Years and Months" since birth. Unless the subject has just been born, Years and Months will usually be a more meaningful representation of age, but their calculation relies on knowing the Days since birth.

A Simplified Calendar Model uses days to give us years and months. This model assumes that years are of equal length, having 365.25 days each. There are 12 months per year, each month having the same number 30.4375 (=365.25/12) of days. This greatly simplified model synchronises well, but not perfectly, with the much more complicated customary Gregorian calendar.

Table Headings
  (yr): years rounded down to the nearest whole year.
  (yr(fixpt)): years as a fixed point number.
  (m): months rounded down to the nearest integer.

More Simplification
  GMT: Greenwich Meantime is assumed throughout the year.
  Time of Birth: The time during a day when the subject is born, is not considered.

Detailed Rationale. A more detailed rationale is given HERE.

I would like to thank especially the hounds of my neighbour. The quest for a reasonably simple, but acceptable way, to find their ages prompted the production of this web page.
