texte = --001517475ee2a2b50504a5a79692 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi all, Following up on some of the discussion re: UNIX timestamps recently I was wondering if anyone is using this format as the default for storing dates and times. I use a mixture of [math]{[date]}[/math] and seconds_since (i.e. total number of seconds since the WebDNA epoch date). But I was thinking that the UNIX version might allow for better interoperability with other systems. Are there any pitfalls with this setup? Do people use other conventions for storing dates/times? Thanks - Tom --001517475ee2a2b50504a5a79692 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi all,

Following up on some of the discussion re: UNIX = timestamps recently I was wondering if anyone is using this format as the d= efault for storing dates and times. =C2=A0 =C2=A0I use a mixture of [math]{= [date]}[/math] and seconds_since (i.e. total number of seconds since the We= bDNA epoch date). =C2=A0 But I was thinking that the UNIX version might all= ow for better interoperability with other systems.

Are there any pitfalls with this setup? =C2=A0 Do= people use other conventions for storing dates/times?
