Well, I told you enough, here it is:
But, you don't believe in my figures, because you think they are the work of evil? No problem:
the script can be adapted very easily to your favorite distances, if you like
to use it: simply change the 438 to your annual average distance and the
30724 by your calculated distance to Earth after VC.

A few suggestions to improve accuracy, though:
A year should be counted as 365.25 days, at the very least.
When exactly does this clock begin counting down from? It seems as though the distance given in the clock is a bit lower than it should be. Ideally, it should begin counting down from the original airdate of "The Voyager Conspiracy."

I also don't think the stardate system is based on a 365.25 day-long year. Otherwise, by the time a leap day rolls around, the stardate would be off from the calendar date by a full day. I think 1000 stardates are equal to the time from January 1 to January 1, however long that is in the given year.
I realize SF would have no reason to do this, but it's not like they have any reason to base the stardates on the Earth calendar, anyway. (And, according to "Data's Day", the stardates are canonically proven to not be based on the Earth calendar, but I doubt many people would want to accept that.)

I'm impressed with your web page, it looks very well done. My web pages always turn out looking like crap ammature projects so I never give anyone the urls.
