1. Yes, I do. My Bad.
  2. No, it's not. It's actually vitally important: It handles daylight savings time, leap seconds, and other time oddities, by ignoring them and resetting things.
  3. Yes, it does. I just never think of them...
  4. strftime is nice, but since you need to separate the info out anyway, I figured we might as well leave it off.
  5. Good point.
  6. Again: The setting to noon helps make sure you don't have to worry about the oddities in computing time. (It's less likely to make a difference at noon.) I don't care what timezone you are in, just make sure you aren't using midnight, as you'll get errors!
