Decimal time!? It is interesting as a curiosity, but not practical. None 
of my clocks or watches support it.

That link has a sample time:

] Example: @206
] This was the Swatch Internet Time time when this page was last 
] generated.

So I try to convert it:

cer@nimrodel:~> TZ=UTC date --date="@206"
Thu Jan  1 00:03:26 UTC 1970
cer@nimrodel:~> TZ=UTC date --date="@206 BMT"
date: invalid date `@206 BMT'

Is that it? I can't believe that page was created in 1970, so I have to 
assume that the command "date" does not support BMT. That being so, we 
can't use BMT.
