ISO:8601 Date Format!

My geeky freaky friend Jason Anthony suggested that I follow the ISO recommended date format (CCYY-MM-DD) in all my blogs. This site is very informative on the date format and Eleven good reasons why you should start using the standard format stipulated in ISO:8601. Besides, this universal format eliminates the confusion of date first in one part of the globe and month first in another!

And think of the millions of $’s that would have been saved, had all 1st generation C - coders followed this format upfront (Remember Y2K, the biggest hoax of the Millennium!).
