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.)
