LOL -- but kids shouldn't be undone.

since I left Windows I find it works against me less.
I teach at the local college where they use windows (Vista) and
that's the closest I want to come to it. I've always been with Apple
(1977 to today).

> Besides, oddly enough I can understand
return $t;
better than
return strftime('%R', strtotime($t));
now that's plain weird. is it because '$t' vaguely resembles a rock[tm]?
No, it's because I have some old habits. I don't like one line
functions. All *my* functions should have enough substance in them
for me to understand what they are doing. If I'm going to use a one
line function, then why not make it one line and not a function?
I use $t for time stuff, $d for date and so on, but one character
variables are usually one-time variables. Similarly I use $i, $j, $k
for counters -- a remnant from my FORTRAN days.
When I need a temporary nondescript variable (intermediate
calculation), I use $a, $b, $c, and so on.
For more consistent variables I try to be semantic with underscores
($last_name) and camel-case for functions (militaryToStandardTime() ).
It's just a set of old habits that I've applied to various languages.

PPS - I have a little rock with the words "the ball is round" carved into it?
not your work by any chance?
No, mine had only "1" or "0" carved into it -- we called that
documentation back then.
Cheers,
