Take care of all that with a process that runs once a day,
does some specifics for what day of the week, gets the day
of the month, does some other things accordingly.

When we roll over to a new month on the first we capture how many days it has
for other reasons anyway, so that capture
is used in this little history thing that runs 0000 utc
Sunday morning.

I use days in the month, again at the end of the month to
average how many vessels logged per day, posts in a couple
of echoes/newsgroups, etc.

Were I building such a system from scratch though I'd
probably look at something such as you showed there.

Still would because of the way I end up doing things around
here.
