[Dixielandjazz] Brian Rust RIP

[Bob Smith]

Sorry to hear about the death of Brian Rust. I was at a lecture he gave in 
the 1950's at Coventry, England.
The English way of writing the date is completely illogical, the American 
way is partly logical, but the only logical way is 2011-01-05.
This can then be entered into computer systems as 20110105 where it can be 
used like any other number. After all, we don't write the time 13:50 as 
50:13. The computer can thereby use 201101051350 as a number that is always 
in the correct relationship to other dates and times.
