I 'discovered' big-endian dating for myself as early as using first computers and been using them consistently over the years. It just sorts so well. I don't even use hyphens and eyes are trained to see year, month, day in 20230823 pretty quick. Used to add time with _ like this: 2023082_2340, now it is 20230823-2340. Generally I tend to always tag notes & sketches with date/time pretty much. > Why do I keep them all? I really don’t know. But they’re fun to make and fun to look back at… even if the tower is getting a little unwieldy. This collection is impressive and seems, from what author says, like it's a byproduct of a process and not goal in itself. I think its good to keep 'em this way.

I've migrated to Rickdate http://www.yak.net/rickdate/ http://www.yak.net/rickdate/ For time I'm considering going base-6, base-36 or base-60 with astronomical midnight as 0, a 40 minute precision is good enough for me, matches my portable sundial, goes better with polyphasic sleeping and makes time more spacious

  I'll pass on Rickdate, this would require too much time to become swift in it and advantage is dubious. I prefer to learn something else. However, it's interesting what you mention about considering going further... Are you using portable sundial? Time feeling more specious when counted differently? I can absolutely feel it may be that way. Sleeping polyphasic? The way we count time can absolutely impact all of that. Seems you live in different frames of reference (Sun, polyhphasic,...) Could you please tell some more?

    Yes, I use a portable sundial to become more aware of the positions/orbit of the sun and the possibility of measuring time with it. I also rely on my apple watch which I have in sun position mode. I am interested in the passing of time in a psychological sense, 'when having fun', in meditation, after meditation, in flow state. https://mediaecologiesresonate.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/on-bergsons-pure-duration-and-suzukis-sunyata-tathata/ https://mediaecologiesresonate.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/on-b... When I was younger I experimented with polyphasic sleep, 6x23 minutes of sleep for a yar. Whenever I'm napping I sync the napping time up to the sun position, with current local astronomical midnight as 0 (1.37 am), and the next phases at 5.37 (1), 9.37 (2), 13.37 (3), 17.37 (4) and 21.37 (5). I'm not doing the 6x23 minute schedule for a long period due to health and social concerns, only for occasional napping, but use it also for prayer or meditation anchors, similar as to muslims or christian monastaries schedule their prayers.

  YES, another rickdate enthusiast! I even made a little demo page to help calculate for me: https://lastres0rt.github.io/rick-date/ https://lastres0rt.github.io/rick-date/
