EXAMPLE OF THE POWER OF ZULU TO CALCULATE AND REPEAT
Target U.S. Election Day:
The first Tuesday after the first Monday of November.
Zulu Admin Settings:
- Weekday Position: 1st
- Weekday: Monday
- Target Month: November
- Target Year: [leave empty to repeat]
- Target Offset: -24
Setting the Target Offset to -24 tells Zulu it's target is 24 hours early. It will then continue the countdown to Tuesday.
Calculating complex dates to repeat automatically is what Zulu was created to do. It can however, handle simple countdowns just as easily.

Very nice! Dead simple, rock solid, installs and configures in seconds.

A no fuss module that installs first time in minutes. No fancy images - just simple text. Recommended.

We were looking for a simple count-down timer for an annual event. Zulu does just that with an administration interface that makes configuration a breeze. I highly recommend it.

It is very easy to use, works out-of-the-box. I had to change it a bit and I didn't had any problem finding the place in the code.
