COUNTDOWN // Source code written by Niek van Suchtelen ([e-mail]) // Feel free to use this script in your own page(s), but leave // my name and email here, and send me an email (mailware!). Also // leave my name on the page (or if you don't like that, ask me first). // You can change the date into any date you want, for instance your // birthday, or your girlfriend's birthday, or the date of your // wedding, or the date of your friend's death, or the date of // ehmm...well... whatever.
