Re: IETF Attendance by continent
I also feel that 3:2:2 is about the right ratio. Actually, the correct ratio is pi:e:sqrt(2). Furthermore, one can prove that, given enough IETFs, we can converge to this close enough that we'll be within _everyone's_ error margin!

And in any event, there are no early booking / online booking discounts for Dutch train tickets, and buying online with Dutch Railways requires the iDEAL payment system that only Dutch banks use. That reminds me: if you intend to use a credit card in electronic contexts (such as buying train tickets at a machine, etc.), you should make sure you know your PIN code. On the way home from Anaheim I helped some guy who had some problems because he wasn't even aware that his card had a PIN code.

Fair enough. Inspired by this I actually read the RFC. I find it quite
amusing that in an RFC that basically says "thou shalt always use
-MM-DD", the actual code in appendix B is the following:
char *day_of_week(int day, int month, int year)
{
...
}

Re: What day is 2010-01-02
The second attachment is a macro that can be used in the wiki to annotate the dates, something like this: [[Date(2010-01-02)]] For example with a format of "%a, %d %b %Y", the wiki will display this: Fri, 01 Jan 2010 Uhm, does it work in .txt files? What about PDF-A? :-) Robert ___ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf

Is there a better way to do dates that we should be using on the ietf.org web pages? IMO ISO8601 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) is the best thing since sliced bread, and I wish it was widely used in international contexts. I mean, I was always amazed when people write 03-04-05 and expect others to know what they mean... BTW, the answer is: Saturday.
