The "day @2002-02-16" is easier to implement as "tomorrow" - what is
tomorrow from the view of the software? A difficult thing - it depends on
the day you look at it and you have to check on midnight what timer has to 
be changes from "tomorrow" to "today". If you use the power off of your 
machine (and an external timer to switch it on) it would be difficult to 
detect the "yesterday".
