Hi.
N is in 24 hour units (fractional parts discarded).  So if the file  
was changed (or created) less than 24 hours ago, it's 0 (because it's  
less than one 24 hour period and there's no rounding up).

I suppose if you just wanted to run this everyday in cron for instance:
   find /some/dir -ctime -0 \! -type d  -print | egrep -v '/ 
public_html/cache/|/public_html/uploads/'
would give you files modified in the last 24 hours and ignore new/ 
changed files in the cache and uploads directories.

I should have also mentioned that new files (not just changed ones)  
are included.  However if a filename changes then it won't be on the  
list (unless you remove the "\! -type d") but you'll only see that the  
directory changed (and you won't actually know what happened).
