It's Friday, I'm in love

"I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love..."

Great song.

For some of you, you never go outside. The only light you get is from the lamp adjacent to your computer monitor. Chances are, you may not even know what day it is in real life. On the other hand, you know the elemental days of the week, the weather in all of Vollbow region and which direction to face while crafting with fire crystals. You can recite the days' order forwards, backwards, with one leg tied behind your neck while being tickled by a ketchup bottle.

As for the rest of us, however miniscule that number may be, it is quite the opposite. Yep. I still don't really know the order. Gag me with your ketchup bottle. That's why I have this nifty trick that reminds me the order without having to toggle to my web browser set to FFXIclopedia.

To perform this magic trick, you'll need:
1. Wave a magician's wand around and install the latest version of Windower.
2. Out of a top hat, pull up the Autoexec plugin by it's ears.
3. Conjure up an XML file called "DaysOfWeek.xml". The contents should be as follows:


<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<autoexec>
<!-- Days of the Week -->
<register event="day_Firesday" >input /clock on; input /echo Tomorrow: Earthsday</register>
<register event="day_Earthsday" >input /clock on; input /echo Tomorrow: Watersday</register>
<register event="day_Watersday" >input /clock on; input /echo Tomorrow: Windsday</register>
<register event="day_Windsday" >input /clock on; input /echo Tomorrow: Iceday</register>
<register event="day_Iceday" >input /clock on; input /echo Tomorrow: Lightningday</register>
<register event="day_Lightningday">input /clock on; input /echo Tomorrow: Lightsday</register>
<register event="day_Lightsday" >input /clock on; input /echo Tomorrow: Darksday</register>
<register event="day_Darksday" >input /clock on; input /echo Tomorrow: Firesday</register>
</autoexec>


4. Include the following line in your AutoExec.xml file:

<import>DaysWeek.xml</import>

If done properly, at the turn of each day, /clock on will activate as well an echo message of what tomorrow will be. How fun is that!

Note: I'm assuming you have knowledge of how to use Windower and how to familiarize yourself with the available plugins. If not, it's time to do your homework.
