Looking at your message's header, I see that you are in -0600 timezone.
That might explain the .25 difference




For the programmers that might want to look at it:


Computation of now is done as follow:

boost::posix_time::ptime y2k(boost::gregorian::date(2000,1,1));
						boost::posix_time::ptime
now(boost::posix_time::microsec_clock::universal_time());

Val = (now-y2k).total_microseconds() * (1.0e-6) / (24*60*60);

It's the number of days since 2000-01-01 (fractional part as the time in
day)




datetime adjust the value to convert back to the number of seconds since
1970-01-01 00:00:00 ( it's rounded to the nearest second )

From that number, the date is rebuild via:

std::tm t =
boost::posix_time::to_tm(boost::posix_time::from_time_t(timestamp));

vlen = strftime(val, PARSE_NOW_VAL_LENGTH, FormatStr, &t);
