Right. Sat 5-Jan-1980, 23:59:45 to be precise. But how can I tell this to 
Gnuplot?

I can obtain the correct day-of-the-month and month my saying plot using 
($1-<the number correponding to 1-Jan-2014>) but then day-of-the-week is 
wrong. Can I adjust the day of the first point of my plot? Or can I cause 
"using ($1-something)" to act on the day-of-the-week only?
