Comments on: getting the current date in a particular format in Windows XP/2003 http://www.spugbrap.com/blog/2006/06/getting-the-current-date-in-a-particular-format-in-windows-xp2003/ This is a repository for my favorite scripts, regexes, commandlines, utilities, code snippets, tips, and other geeky things that might be useful to someone googling for an obscure solution some day. It's also a place to share my thoughts about companies I've dealt with, my favorite lifehacks, observations of interesting human behavior, clever and/or evil marketing schemes I've run across, and anything else I feel compelled to write about.
