I think someone on the server I play on might be up to some shenanigans, so I thought of making some sort of player detector that would record when someone goes to my base when I'm offline. Since I don't have chunkloaders, I thought I could place a computer and put some code in startup to write to a log file, since IIRC computers turn off whenever their chunk gets unloaded.

The thing is, I'd like to make the computer write the date and time when someone approaches, but I don't see any functions in the ComputerCraft wiki for this. I know you can get the in-game day number and time, but is there any way to get real-word date and time?
