..or maybe ddate? Tong, ddate uses 5 "seasons" with
73 days in each, should fit your purpose:
arnt@nb6:~$ date &&ddate
Fri Mar 9 15:25:34 CET 2012
Today is Pungenday, the 68th day of Chaos in the YOLD 3178
arnt@nb6:~$ ddate 14 3 2012
Pungenday, Chaos 73, 3178 YOLD
arnt@nb6:~$ ddate 15 3 2012
Prickle-Prickle, Discord 1, 3178 YOLD
arnt@nb6:~$
