Thanks for the heads-up, Lars. You're quite right, I had meant to write $(date) but the parentheses somehow got lost.
During writing, that test script got carved down from something that did more than just return a date. Now that all it does is return a date, the `echo` is unnecessary.
I've updated the article.
That explains why I keep losing data! ;-)
Thanks for reading and commenting, john-351.
