Re date numbers
Can't help feeling the Logical format would be Biggest, less big, smallest,
you know the way numbers generally work.
So Year/month/day & if you want time, Hrs/Min/Sec/sub div of secs, say
samples, frames decimal fractions of a second.
I belive the Japanese do date this way, and everyone does time this way
The Euro or US way is just what folk are used to. Neither make any sense at
all!
Being in the UK, USA dates cause me massive grief, particularly for the 1st
12 days of a month. Probably just my cultural xenophobia, but the USA norm
seems the most nonsensical method.
Reckon an internationally friendly way to write a date is have the Month as
letters {in English of course:-) sorry some xenophobia} Eg in Europe &
Australia 23/Mar/2010 or USA Mar/23/2010 or otherwise 2010/Mar/23
