Nice. I like this one. Simple, neat, and feels right. The tilde is significantly different, that I can tell at a glance it's not a standard date format, yet similar enough that it feels like one. > Should both notations have the same "1" base?

A delta makes sense from a mathematical perspective, but intuitively, "~1" leaps out at me as last-day-of-month, "~2" as second last day, etc. Cheers, dave.k _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
