I've been putting some notes together on time similar in spirit (if
not in detail) to "What every computer programmer should know about
floating-point arithmetic"
(http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html) ranging from
localtime vs UTC, hardware clocks and NTP, how to do accurate timers
in Javascript, calendars, date arithmetic, comparisons and gotchas, to
Lampert/vector clocks (the new black in the 'eventually consistent'
world of nosql).

I could always throw in some gratuitous Dr Who references if that
helps (it usually does).

Sean
