The moment we've been all waiting for

[SSOWorld]

04:05:06 07/08/09 <-- who will be waking up at this precious moment?   A rare occurence!

or if you would prefer to be awake: 12:34:56 07/08/09

[Hellfighter]

Too early for me! 

[agentsteel53]

I remember 12:34:56 7/8/90.  there will never be anything like it ever again.  for 81 years.

[agentsteel53]

then again, I even more distinctly remember 1:23:45 6/7/89, because that was at the end of the school season, and the teacher made a point of it.

I remember 20:02 20-02 2002

(In Europe, the day comes before the month in the notation)

I'm used to the U.S. format having used it all my life.  However, the European notation (day-month-year) is more logical as it goes from smallest to largest unit where our month-day-year does not.

I tend to date my files in format YYYYMMDD, which makes sorting on a computer the simplest.  Fortunately, the people I work with are smart enough to be able to parse that!

For computer files, I do that, too.  It's quite nice for photo files.

Though, even at work, I'm often the only one that looks at them!

  What happened? 

[SSOWorld]

It's a secret

I use that date format too, Jake. Although I put dashes in it: 1991-08-09. That's actually an ISO standard date format (I want to say ISO 8601?). When I got promoted to manager at work they had a hell of a time figuring out what my deposit slips meant at first

Here in OK there was a kid born at 12:34 on that date, so they went ahead and "estimated" the seconds and put the timestamp down on the birth certificate as 12:34:56 07/08/09. (Most birth certificates don't include the seconds.)

^^ I write in that format, too. I usually write, for example, 20-Jul-09 or 20-Jul-2009.


Be well,

Bryant

Who is hosting the party for 09:09:09 on 09/09/09 ??

[74/171FAN]

Florida: The morning one or the evening one because I think most of us have work or school during the morning one

If you're on military time, there's only one!

That's twice the party!

This moment passed this morning in the non-US notation:

[SSOWorld]

LOOK what you've done, I'm BACKWARDS! </C3PO to Chewie>

[Truvelo]

I was due to be born on 07/07/77 but I arrived two days late.

[Scott5114]

I remember being rather pleased about turning 12 on 02-02-02.
