I've got a enhancement proposal, though: use ISO-Format timestamps. Those are guaranteed to be understood by people and machines alike. date -Is produces such timestamps to second-level precision. They look like this: 2005-10-25T18:56:37+0200 Easily parseable by machines and unsuspecting non-nerdy ;) users. It also includes the timezone, which is nifty if you admin machines across time or even date borders. I've taken to only use ISO stamps everywhere since they can be sorted quite easily, too.
