How long is a Swatch .beat? In short, we have divided up the virtual and real
day into 1000 beats. One Swatch beat is the equivalent of 1 minute 26.4
seconds. That means that 12 noon in the old time system is the equivalent of
@500 Swatch .beats.
We are not just creating a new way of measuring time, we are also creating a
new meridian in Biel, Switzerland, home of Swatch.
Biel MeanTime (BMT) is the universal reference for Internet Time. A day in
Internet Time begins at midnight BMT (@000 Swatch .beats) (Central European
Wintertime). The meridian is marked for all to see on the facade of the Swatch
International Headquarters on Jakob-Staempfli Street, Biel, Switzerland. So,
it is the same time all over the world, be it night or day, the era of time
zones has disappeared.
This module understands the ICal date/time and duration formats, as defined in
RFC 2445. It can be used to parse these formats in order to create the
appropriate objects.
Parses almost all ISO 8601:2000(E) date and time formats. ISO 8601:2000(E)
time-intervals will be supported in a later release.
RFC2822 introduces a slightly different format of date than that used by
RFC822. The main correction is that the format is more limited, and thus easier
to parse.
This module understands the formats used by MySQL for its DATE, DATETIME, TIME,
and TIMESTAMP data types. It can be used to parse these formats in order to
create DateTime objects, and it can take a DateTime object and produce a string
representing it in the MySQL format.
DrPython is a highly customizable, extensible editor/environment for
developing programs written in the Python programming Language. It is
implemented in wxPython.
The ELF shell 0.5 takes advantage of a hash based, lazy typed
object oriented architecture, a readline based interactive mode
(35+ builtin commands, with history, completion, regular
expression powered), a scripting mode (sample scripts and
session logs available on this page) and brings more
modification API (relocation tables, .interp, .dynamic,
.dynsym, PAX bits, and +), atomic operations with get/set and
add/sub/mul/div/mod commands, section injection by top (insert
unlimited amount of data in the executable PT_LOAD, even in
non-executable environments), a quiet output for tiny screens,
ELFsh modules support, sophisticated write/printf primitives,
SPARC PLT infection, experimental ET_EXEC relocation and
remapping features, ET_REL injection into ET_EXEC (with bss and
symtab merging support), disassembly (with good resolving) on
i386 binaries with libasm, and much more.
DateTime::Format::Oracle may be used to convert Oracle date and timestamp values
into DateTime objects. It also can take a DateTime object and produce a date
string matching the NLS_DATE_FORMAT.
Oracle has flexible date formatting via its NLS_DATE_FORMAT session variable.
Date values will be returned from Oracle according to the current value of that
variable. Date values going into Oracle must also match the current setting of
NLS_DATE_FORMAT.
Timestamp values will match either the NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT or
NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT session variables.
This module keeps track of these Oracle session variable values by examining
environment variables of the same name. Each time one of Oracle's formatting
session variables is updated, the %ENV hash must also be updated.
This module understands the formats used by PostgreSQL for its DATE, TIME,
TIMESTAMP, and INTERVAL data types. It can be used to parse these formats in
order to create DateTime or DateTime::Duration objects, and it can take a
DateTime or DateTime::Duration object and produce a string representing it in a
format accepted by PostgreSQL.
Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework for developers
using C++ or QML, a CSS/JavaScript-like language.
With Qt, code can be reused efficiently to target multiple platforms
with one code base. The modular C++ class library and developer tools
easily enables developers to create applications for one platform and
easily build and run to deploy on another platform.
