Except the only reason to prefer European format to American is that it's monotonically increasing units to the right, whereas the time of day units decrease to the right everywhere in the world. The only sane way of recording time is yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss If you're willing to drop the century on the time, then this year's event was at 06:05:04 this morning: 09-08-07-06-05-04 Or 6:54:32. Next year, it falls on September 8. 10-09-08-07-06-05 On Fri, Aug 7, 2009 at 6:34 AM, Simon Plouffe<simon.plouffe@gmail.com> wrote:
