Thank you for your courtesy.
I have opted for: %a %d/%b %H:%M
otherwise the fields (left + right) would become too long ... years do
not change so quickly; I could even make it without the
(abbreviated) month ... perhaps, but then it might look too unnatural (I
like to follow the rule of the least amazement): I would need to start to
permute or to add separators for making more easy the optical
disconnection of the time (# of the day && hh digits) et cetera ... and I
would not finish in one month.
(Yes of course ... I have some kind of vague tinnitus on my ears: --"read
the @#$% manual") :(
