Happy Anniversary, Marine Aquarium 3D Simulation
It occurred to me that we've been spending virtually all of our recent efforts commenting on, fine-tuning, and trying to document stuff that is not really related to the absolutely fantastic Marine Aquarium 3D Simulation.
Early timeline of "released" versions: (if I've got this wrong, somebody please let me know) 8k -- 1/30/2009 9b -- 2/17/2009 10a -- 5/12/2009 10d -- 6/5/2009 Please join me at 6:51 PM (your local time) today (6/5/2010) , in celebrating the anniversary of the release of the first "really stable version" of the world's most realistic 3D Marine Aquarium Simulation . ... and in thanking Jim Sachs for letting us share the aquarium, and share the experience. |
Silly American date format... ;-)
(How about 2009/6/5) |
I use international dates because Windows sorts them properly. Also, this way the date format matches the time format, from most significant to least significant. YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM:SS.

As long as we all agree that no matter how you show the date,
we should be celebrating something. :) |
*dances round the forum and parties*
Ahem. Anyway. On our computers at work, we somehow end up with the 'American' date format of YYYYDDMM. Now that really cheeses me off - neither one thing nor another! Well, whatever, I suppose. *carries on partying* |

Looking at it one way, it's Friday, June 05, 2009, 6:51:31 PM Or, in the "Details" panel, it's 6/5/2009 6:51 PM What does that information look like on your computer? |

However, That's not exactly cocktail party conversation, I guess. Thanks for having this party. ;) |

Windows follows local date format in any country you use it in. Microsoft actually spends a lot of time making sure Windows works in over 100 countries.
It's easy enough to test for yourself. In Windows XP, go to Control Panels -> Regional and Language Options. The first tab gives you about 100 choices for how currency, time, short date, and long date should be presented. You can do manual entry or pick from 100+ presets. If you want to change the language of Windows, you'll need your original CD or to download the files from their website. I use international date format of YYYY.MM.DD because if you use it in part of a filename, it will sort properly. |

Happpy aniversary. |
You are telling me you can rename these two folders:
2002.04.08 Wedding Photos 2007.07.04 4th of July Pictures 2009.01.26 Trip to Glacier National Park to this: 04-08-2002 Wedding Photos 07-04-2007 4th of July Pictures 01-26-2009 Trip to Glacier National Park and your computer sorts them properly? On mine, if I did that, it would sort like this: 01-26-2009 Trip to Glacier National Park 04-08-2002 Wedding Photos 07-04-2007 4th of July Pictures |
No, yer right. Didn't know what ya meant at first.
