Finding the current week number

Software

In our ongoing series of things you already know, unless you don’t, you can get the current week number using the C-style date(1) tool in your *nix of choice:

$ date +"%U"
==> 02

I use week numbers everywhere, especially for task lists. I saw them a lot in Singapore, but I’ve never seen them used in Australia.
