I dislike the ones that leave out the century, and dislike the arbitrary
and somewhat nonsensical arranging of month and day before year etc, so
I like 20111102
or add in the time 20111111111102
(Although I loved Heinlein centennial being 777, and just as was pointed
out when time_t rolled over, these are ALL just arbitrary numbers of
arbitrary units within arbitrary scales.)
