Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

There are always 24 hours in a day.
February is always 28 days long.
Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

	# Heavily depends on:
	# libqrencode (fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/)
	# paperkey (jabberwocky.com/software/paperkey/)
	# zbar (zbar.sourceforge.net)

	# Producing the QR codes:
	# Split over 4 codes to ensure the data per image is not too large.
	gpg --export-secret-key KEYIDGOESHERE \| paperkey --output-type raw \| base64 > temp
	split temp -n 4 IMG
	for f in IMG*; do cat $f \| qrencode -o $f.png; done
