Requires a recent version of python.

chmod u+x mementomori
./mementomori -hThe mementomori script displays your age in years, months, weeks and days.
It also estimates how much longer you will live based on the National life tables, UK: 2013 to 2015 from the Office for National Statistics. There are both male (79.1 years) and female (82.8 years) lifetime estimates.
The script should be run from a daily cron job without the verbose option. In this case, it only displays ages and lifetime estimates on the following "milestones":
- every 500 days
- every 100 weeks
- every 50 months
- every 10 years
- every 10th percentile (10, 20, 30 ... %) of lifetime estimate
Further info:
./mementomori -hThere are two types of arguments, required and optional.
Required arguments:
| Name | Short | Long | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birth date | -b | --birthdate | Date of birth - format YYYY-MM-DD |
Required but mutually exclusive arguments:
| Name | Short | Long | Description |

| Lifetime | -l | --lifetime | Expected lifetime in years |
Either the -l/--lifetime or -s/--sex option is required but both cannot be used together.
The -l/--lifetime option overrides the default male and female expected lifetimes.
Optional arguments:
| Name | Short | Long | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Help | -h | --help | Print help message and exit |
| Verbose | -v | --verbose | Print additional information |
- Check and double-check the milestone calculations
- Better support males and females who are older than the life expectancy estimates
- Improve output:
- Return "x years, y months, z weeks and a days" instead of "42.87 years"
- New functionality:
- Add option to print dates for next and/or all future milestone(s)
- eg 15,000 days old on ...
- Add option to print dates for next and/or all future milestone(s)
