Random date and time value generator
There are tons of applications and other instances where you need to either test using dates, or you actually need random dates. If you want to write posts on your blog ahead of time, and post them randomly between the 1st of March and the 2nd of April, the random date and time value generator is the tool for you.
I love that this is such a simple tool, yet so powerful and customizable. You can enter exact start and end dates (down to seconds), select the number of dates you need, and you can even alter the format to your liking. This is great for international users, and for testing different input methods as well.
The data is then presented in simple text form, one date after another. This makes populating Excel tables super easy, no formatting to worry about, just copy paste. I wish they would make many more tools like this, this date generator is something that has saved me many hours of work.
Besides starting and end date for the random generation, you can also enter the number of results that you want to be generated, and the format you want the dates to be in. The default format is day-month-year hours-minutes-seconds which you can modify before you submit the form. This can be useful if you want to change the order or to remove data that you do not need at all.
Please note that results are limited to a maximum of 100 per use. If you need lots of data you may need to run the tool multiple times to generate it or create your own solution instead if we are talking very large numbers which make the script not a feasible solution to use.
The site offers a couple of other scripts and tools that you can make use of including random number generation and random string generation.

Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:

Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.
And this comment is written on the dropbox article from August 25, 2023.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
