Sorry, I should have been more specific. You should use seconds since the epoch at midnight of the current day. So today I use 986446800 and tomorrow I use 986533200 (values generated by `date +%s`). I know this looks ugly compared to the other format. However, remember that these values are going to be computer-generated. The benefit of this method comes when you're trolling through different days. If you write a daemon to troll an index and get all the keys from multiple days, with an mmddyy sort of format you have to know when to stop incrementing the dd field and increment the mm field and reset the dd field. So you have to use a calendar. With the seconds since the epoch method you just add 86400 for each day. > When do you think you'll have it ready? Which scheme will you use? I'll be using the scheme above. I could do this today, perhaps. It's quite pretty easy to code. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
