yop, you are right, didn't notice that.. i fixed it like this (it 's nearly midnight here, so it's not the best solution maybe, but it seems to work :)) i tried to set "today" to few random days and it seemed fine..

cal_head=`cal | head -1`; cal_tail=`cal | tail -7`; today=`date -v+14d "+%e"`; echo "$cal_head"; echo -en "${cal_tail/${today}/\033[1;32m${today}\033[0m}";

argh.. without "-v+14d" of couse, so it should be

cal_head=`cal | head -1`; cal_tail=`cal | tail -7`; today=`date "+%e"`; echo "$cal_head"; echo -en "${cal_tail/${today}/\033[1;32m${today}\033[0m}";

where it "edit" button.. it was here here, wasn't it ? :)
