in reply to New timezones and datetime format
Thats a good fix, but i had an idea for another one. It seems to me that all the datetimes here now are all 'absolute' (ignoring any arguements about what is absolute, is time absolute, etc). Why not a relative datetime? '2 days ago' Means a lot more then 'august 19' (or whatever day it was)Also note that this has the advantange of being totally timezone agnostic.

Write code to handle a combination strftime/reltime format, given every concevibly useful format, and I'll see about hammering it into the time-formatting code here. Remember that people generaly are going to want sliding-scale precision here -- I care about rel. seconds if it's within a day, but I don't even care about rel. hours if it's over a year.
Confession: It does an Immortal Body good.
