Warning: strftime() [function.strftime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

Blog Entry: Metric Prefixes (small)

2005 September 17, 12:53 PM

My mnemonic for remembering small metric prefixes: "Mike's nanny picks feminine attire. Zippers? Yucko!", where "Mike" is micro, "nanny" is nano, "picks" is pico, "feminine" is femto, "attire" is atto, "zippers" is zepto, and "yucko!" is yocto. My only worry is that this implies zippers are non-feminine, which I'm not sure is true (none of the feminine attire I wear [er, I mean "am aware of"] has zippers, but that maybe just me)
