Seconds old to human readable via localtime will give you some funny
results (like dates from 1970).
If you're looking for days hours minutes seconds old:
days = seconds old / seconds in a day
seconds left = seconds old % seconds in a day
hours = seconds left / seconds in an hour
seconds left = seconds left % seconds in a hour
minutes = seconds left / seconds in a minute
seconds = seconds left % seconds in a minute
