Anyone know the magic algorithm to decode the datetimes in the databook.xml file?

for instance start="1098745200" means 2004 October 25, 7:00 pm.

How do these work?

Thats a unix timestamp, or seconds from standard epoch of 1/1/1970. You can verify that here...

To be exact, the epoch is 00:00 1 January 1970 GMT - watch out for timezone differences when working with the numbers...
